AP Closing ADs?
I heard from an AD (not mine), one in my local mall, that AP is closing their all ADs? This sounded like BS to me. I think they are just butthurt AP pulled their watches out of their store. Can anyone confirm? They say AP took out 100 dealers.

Black ceramic - rubber2. Anthracite ceramic - rubber3. Pink Gold - rubber strapi think i have decided against carbonI love the blue/plat ROO - but i cant justify without selling the platonaThanks for helping!

Thinking of adding a speedmaster to the box...
I have been looking at buying a soeedmaster to add to the collection and am wondering which model to go for. Found a few of the reedition pieces at a good price but should I spend a bit more and go for the actual moon watches?I am tempted to go with the reedition because they are less expensive and being a newer model maybe they would stand up to everyday wear better. The styling on them is fantastic too but I heard the later bracelets have a slightly troublesome pusher clasp?All opinions, thoughts and pointers would be greatly appreciated. I have only started researching Omegas recently.

New Ceramic SMP 300 in storage
Hi guys, bit of advice if you would kindly oblige. So my wife-to-be has bought me my first mechanical watch, the new ceramic SMP 300 in black. I love it, and was kinda surprised in the AD when she told him to put the Bond quartz back and get the one she knew I really wanted.The problem is it is a wedding present from her to me but the wedding is not until Nov, yet another reason to be excited. However it is to be kept in the safe until the big day, with the exception of the engagement shoot. My question relates to if I should be doing anything to keep it ok whilst it is in storage, and indeed if I should manually wind it on the day or wear it the day before.CheersCJ

AP 15400 + Rolex SubC towards an Aqua 5167/1A -- what are your ideas about, please ?
Big, Big doubt I know, most of you guys would go towards Patek with no blinking .... but I need some of your thoughts on this subject I was offered the trade of my AP 15400, pic below, and a BNIB Rolex Sub C that I am about to pick up at AD, towards a BNIB Aquanaut 5167/1A .I am considering to finally REFUSE this trade .On my newbie opinion, there's not too much advantage trading a watch like that AP towards Aquanaut -- in my opinion, watches that are apparently on similar level , and still throw in a BNIB SubC..... Is my idea wrong?Hearing your ideas that could show me otherwise is very important just now !The Aqua available is on bracelet, the cash difference towards them is very low, and the look of Aqua in bracelet is quite nice IMHO -- which has surprised me, given all preferences here is for the rubber strap version . Maybe because I do like bracelets, given that I really like the bracelet version on my AP .Friends are saying that SubC are easy to get and I am just hoarding b
