Omega Planet Ocean Chrono 9300
Hi,I am considering buying a new Omega Planet Ocean 9300. Retail is $8200, and I am getting a 27.5% discount to $5950. I am trying to decide between the balck bezel with orange number 12; or the orange bezel? Any thoughts? I like the black bezel a lot with the rubber strap; but I think I prefer the orange bezel with the SS bracelet.What do most people buy? Black or Orange? Or should I get the Ti POC in Blue for $8000

London Watch Store Recommendation
Hi guys,I am looking to buy a pair of Omega's in London (the AT 8500 & a constellation). Have tried several stores and they seem reluctant to discount. Most I am getting offered is 10%. Can anyone suggest stores I should look at who will offer more? Or is 10% the best I will get in London?Thanks!

Thinking about a new acquisition, 5227r vs 5170r
I'm thinking about adding a dress watch to the collection. My current favorites are the 5170r (silvery dial) and the 5227r. I know they are different and at different price points, but they seem comparable. For those that own either (or have opinions about either), what are your pluses and minuses?My current collection includes a Platona, 5712r, 5726/1A, Jumbo and a few other Rolexes. .patek/en/mens-watches...ions/5170R-001.patek/en/mens-watches...rava/5227R-001

Explorer 11 cream dial / Submariner buying advice
HiThis is my first post. I'm looking for a couple of pointers from all you knowledgable folks.I have a cream dial Explorer 11 (pic below) that I have had from new and just hammered (I can't even begin to tell you what it's been through!). Anyhow I plan on making it my weekend watch as to be honest I need a darker dial because I can't actually see it clearly in lower light. I have a friend who had a similar watch and when he sent it for servicing to Rolex, they replaced the dial contrary to his wishes. Is this something anyone else has ever encountered? So, to the second part of my post; I'm looking to get a no date steel sub but here in the UK the waiting list is 2yrs as of today. Is it worth getting in on a good but expensive preowned one or waiting my turn for a new one. I do realise this latter point is subjective but just wanting to garner some general thoughts.Thanks in advance for your helpRaf
