Evolution of the Planet Ocean
Does any one think the PO will begin an evolution much like the Rolex Submariner?With it being a hit, I suspect Omega will just make marginal changes every few years. Or do you think it will market it like the Sub, with an upgraded Sea Dweller, and then a super upgraded Deepsea?I'm like my PO, but I am geting that urge to want a super Planet Ocean, and in two minds between getting the Liquid Metal, or wait a year until the new PO is released.Hope I make sense.

Aqua Terra 2812 & 2503 people chime in!
Google lead me to this site a few days ago and I've read a bunch of threads since. I was wondering if more AT enthusiasts would put up real life pictures of their watches in different leather strap combinations.I went to an AD a few days ago and saw the 2812.30 (white dial/blue markers & hands/brown leather strap) in person - and was blown away by it. The only things holding me back are price (may get the 2503 instead) and the neutrality of the brown leather strap - most of my suits are black/navy/charcoal and I'm a little concerned they may clash with a watch I'll hopefully be wearing every day at work.I've also seen a couple variations here on the ATs usually found online, and they looked really good - for instance, someone posted a pic of a white dial/blue marker AT 2503, but it had a black or dark blue thick-ish leather strap, not the usual SS bracelet. I can't seem to find that post at the moment, but I'm curious what other color/strap variations have worked well in real life

Auction Houses
Have you ever used an auction house like antiquorum or christies to sell a watch? I am contemplating selling a Patek 5350 using an auction house. I have not aggressively shopped it but it is not an easy piece to move. I would appreciate pointers or lessons learned.

116618 with diamond dial
Anyone have one of these - 116618 diamond dial? I don't think they made too many of them. I know diamonds on a sub are not everyone's taste. Anyway...saw one for sale and it looked beautiful. I wondered everyone's thoughts in comparison to the sunburst dial. To those who have it how do you like it? Any regrets in not getting the sunburst dial? any wrist shots? Can you wear it daily? I am tempted to buy it. Thanks!
