Incoming: Royal Oak vs Daytona
Hi guysSome of you will remember that I put a collection strategy together a couple of years ago, and it's nearly complete. Today, another piece of the jigsaw arrived in the shape of the Royal Oak 15450.When choosing which Royal Oak to get, I spent a vast amount of time looking at size comparisons, and I'm glad to report I made the right choice!My wrists are 6.5 so not very big, so I was torn between 37mm and 39mm but the 37mm is perfect for me.As I really like the way the Daytona wears, I spent a lot of time looking for comparisons on the wrist between the Daytona and the 15450. So, I thought others may be in the same boat and it would be useful to share a couple of photos.The bottom line is that they both wear differently, but both work for me brilliantly, and people should forget the stigma attached to the 37mm!

My first experience with APSC
I am always worried when I have to send a watch to the manufacturer for warranty or repair work as somehow things just never come back perfect like they should... but I've only read fantastic things about APSC and my steel diver needed to be sent in for various reasons. My steel diver has been running fast since the very first day I received it... never sent it in since I was too worried that fixing that would mess something else up. I also noticed that the inner bezel of my diver had a defect, it didn't align perfectly with the hour indices on the dial (misprinted). And finally, just before I sent the watch in, I noticed that the inverted triangle at 12 o'clock had a pit or hole on the lume... so I decided to send the watch in to take care of all these issues under warranty and to get my 3rd year warranty extension.I emailed them a few times to confirm their address and response was quite good. They also sent me an email once the watch arrived and it contained a document stating the c

Because I��m a Sucker
I just could not pass it up. I originally wanted the white dial. But I love this strap. It's not small, but it wears super as it is significantly thinner than their typical case.

How water resistant is a Speedmaster?
I know my SEAmasters are dive watches and should be waterproof and has the screw down crown.However, I took my new Speedy to the Caribbean and it got rained on and splashed and a bunch of other stuff. Just made we wonder - how water resident is it? Have you swam with one? Or just washed your hands with it?SuzySent from my iPad using Tapatalk where I can't do quotes, do smileys very well, or attach pictures easily. :( Wish they'd fix the iPad software so it doesn't crash.

Question regarding AD's and their pricing
Hello, I've recently been considering making my first luxury watch purchase, an Omega Planet Ocean. I spent some time at a local AD handling the Planet Ocean, Speedmaster Day Date, Submariner, and GMT Master II Ceramic. I fell in love with the Planet Ocean and GMT Master II, but liked the more 'conservative' look of the Planet Ocean. I liked the Submariner (who doesn't?) but wasn't impressed with the clasp mechanism. I felt the clasp on the Planet Ocean was nicer.Anyways, I've seen a lot of different numbers thrown around for the pricing of this watch. I was quoted $3,000 at my AD, however I'm unsure if that included a discount. Is that what I can expect to pay or should I look at other AD's before buying?For reference, this is the exact model I plan on purchasing: .omegawatches/index.ph...000&no_cache=1
