Looking to get an Omega...
I've been shopping around for a used Omega for a while now and have narrowed it down to either:Omega Seamaster Chronograph 2225.80orOmega Seamaster America's Cup Limited Edition Reference 2533.50.00 I am tight on cash flow right now so the used market is my only choice now not to mention how much these babies depreciate after buying new right?So what are you opinions? I like the Chrono with it's beautiful blue face and skeleton hands and have owned it before but the America's Cup has that beautiful white gold bezel and black face and those sword hands glow like a searchlight...Let me know what you think and which one you'd prefer!

Previously Polished 5124g?
I have been looking at the 5124g for some time now. I absolutely love the watch; I think it's sensational. However, at $27.2k new, I think it's a bit much, especially considering what they go for pre-owned, and I have not found anyone willing to come off that price too much. However, a Patek AD I work with from time-to-time tells me they just got a pre-owned 5124g in from a collector. I asked why it wasn't on their website yet and the salesman said well, because it hasn't been serviced and polished yet. Most of my pre-owned knowledge comes from the world of Rolex, where polishing is very bad. I told him that if the watch was newer, and depending on condition, I would definitely want it unserviced and not polished. Am I just misinformed and this is standard protocol? This is a very reputable Patek AD. He gentleman also said that depending on if our watchmaker is allowed to work on it or not, it will go back to Patek in Manhattan, or stay here with our watchmaker. Is there ever any way t

Service: RSC or AD with in house capability
I'm thinking of servicing my yachtmaster and perhaps others after 13 years of ownership. The AD, Benari in Exton, PA I recently landed an SD43 from has in house capabilities. I'd kinda prefer to use them as I feel my salesman Joel is quite knowledgeable and and great to deal with and feel like I can give detail direction plus i think it would be turned around quicker. My sense is that if I bring to NYC they will tend to do what they think needs to be done and decide on their own. Am I way off?This would be a trial run for my Kermit as it scares me to send it in and have them switch the bezel, all though it's in great shape, or something I didn't direct them to do like maybe polish it. My yatchmaster and Kermit are running great but feel it may be time for a preemptive general tune up. I guess I'm due but part of me also thinks why mess with it and the expense. I would like a polish and spa treatment on my YM though and hence my desire to send it in. So I'm looking for general thou

How does the daytona (116520) wear compared to a 5 digit GMT (16710)?
Looking for input as I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a ss daytona (116520) but have not been able to find one to try on locally.I find the fit of the 5 digit GMT perfect - but previously had the 6 digit SUB and found it more top heavy / bulkier then I expected that led me to sell the watch.Any input on how the daytona compares to the GMT for everyday comfort / wear? Weight and size wise (on paper), the two watches appear very similar - so I would expect the fit to be about the same?
