Anyone Seen a Dial Like This?
I am sure it is probably quite common but I could only find the black dial Speedmaster Mk.IV when searching. Anyone got one like this.... (in fact, were there any other dial variations?)

Update on my vintage Omega 300 garage sale find
(See my previous post for full details) Well I didn't go too mad, just polished the glass, gave the case a light rub (a few of the bigger life scars are still visible) and replaced the crown. I was thinking of getting the correct bracelet but I think she looks quite acceptable on the nato, I am happy The first two shots are in electric light and the last one is natural light.

Best Chronograph: Speedmaster v. SMP (non-Bond w Sword Hands)
Looking next for a 3 dial chronograph to round out my collection.Lots of Speedmaster info on TRF and is seems like a very good choice. I have tried it on and like the fit and feel.I do like the look of the old style SMP though (I have the 2254.50 and love it).Any advice on the better choice (with reasons) would be appreciated. Also, if you have an alternative chronograph to suggest (it doesn't have to be an Omega) then please do. Pictures would help if possible. I already know about the Daytona (and like it) but it is more than I want to pay right now so I am looking at the under $5K watches.Many thanks.

How about a base with a tobacco dial?
I have long wanted to add a 55 to the collection. BBQ once said in every collection.. there is always room for a titanium Pam! The combination of a brown tobacco dial and fat sausage numbers are just great in a titanium case. Base is indeed ace... I like it!Here is a quick shot!

Score!
Well, the second best thing at an AD. I went into an AD in Westchester County, NY (not the big T), no SS sport models except 1 Explorer, polar dial, thats it. In regards to sports models the only PM model they had was a WG ceramic bezel Daytona with the rubber strap, thats it. No other SS models, no PM, except what I mentioned above. Their Rolex display was 50% empty, only had lots of DJ's, like other AD's. Saleswoman told me they received no shipments since mid November and don't expect any shipments until February. The wall display was empty and this AD has an entire room dedicated to Rolex, no other watches in this room. The woman told me that they have received hundreds of calls asking for any SS sport models. She told me that people preferred the SS models, but when they could not get SS, they bought TT and all PM models. They had a huge Christmas.Edit above: I am sorry, they also had a SS Sub Date, so for anyone who wants it, PM for AD name, again they are in Westcheste
