Christmas present and a question
Here is the Christmas present, Aqua Terra 150m:but browsing the net, I saw what appears to be the same watch on a different strap:on this website which is in German.

OMEGA Speedmaster Pro vs Alaska?
I already have a white dial chrono and I'm craving a Speedy, which one should I go for if I can get either at the same price?
Have you seen the new Aqua Terra?

Great looking watch - very similar in look to the Datejust, but just a fraction bigger - and has one of the nicest finished movements inside it I've ever seen. They're using a very similar movement to the one found in the De Ville Hour Vision, and has their Si14 balance spring in. Very nice watch, very well made, and quite a lot cheaper than a Datejust: £2600 compared to the £3300 of an entry level DJ.
116520 Daytona dial differences

I asked my question wrong based on TRF rules sorry
So i just asked a value question about a Daytona and it was deleted. After reading the rules I understand why. My apologies. Let me try this a different way. After researching a daytona ceramic SS I see the asking prices are a good bit above MSRP, my question is are these asking prices realistic to what they are actually SELLING for?Thanks!
