Baselworld 2013: Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon
Welcome the all black ceramic Omega Speedmaster. This must be some kind of PR trick, putting?tantalizing?images online and then taking them down quickly, but with just enough time to let a few people have a sneak preview.Seems that enough information has gotten out that I think Omega knows they have something really special to tease Omega fans everywhere. The?new Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch is coming, and from the way things look, it's one pretty watch. The name says it all.? The name, "Dark Side of the Moon," pretty much refers to the fact that this is a bold black watch that just looks simply stunning. See a full watches-dealer Omega Speedmaster watch review here.Materials-wise, this is one high tech?extravaganza of a watch. The headline feature, of course, is the black ceramic used extensively on this watch, including the case, case-back and chronograph pushers. The dial is in black zirconium oxide ceramic with two blackened sub-dials. Case size is 44.25mm, and the applied indexes a

15300ST vs. 15202ST Jumbo (blue vs. blue)
So, I have to admit that I am a complete embarrassment and a fool that I had no clue about the Royal Oak and ROC line until 2017 (And I call myself a watch collector??). After seeing my boy Howie's 26300 blue, I was completely mesmerized by the case, super fine details, the gorgeous blue and was just blown away. While I am a few years late to the party, it is better late than never. I was lucky enough to source both 15300St and 15202 Jumbo and wow... they are just superb pieces and so enjoyable in their own ways. I probably will wear both for a while and see which one jives better and stays. So far, I prefer the thickness and bracelet of 15300 but the darker shade of blue on the 15202 dial is just absolutely sexy. Yes, the cal 2121 movement is awesome to check out too.2 new (late) entrants into the collection that have pushed all the Rolex aside and yes, blue is the new black

First and last incoming of 2018..
So my affixation with Rolex started only recently in 2016, having bought my first decent mechanical watch in 2008 being the Breitling Super Ocean and then followed by an IWC Portuguese chrono, which is missed and a personal favourite from Darren Reay which was a cracking deal... Anyway fast forward to 2016 the Breitling went and was flipped for a used Rolex Explorer 2 Black dial followed by the IWC for the big hitter AP Royal Oak 15400, which is my most high end and least used watch for some reason, can�� work that one out.Then in 2017 March I want the BLNR, in the uk a little difficult to source, Added myself to the local AD list, waited a month then add myself to a list in Wilmslow on the Friday and less than 24hrs had the call .. still can�� work out what happened maybe put me at the top of the list in error, anyway the BLNR was in my collection.Roll on summer and the Sub mariner no date looked so perfect and still my most worn watch by a long way, not sure what it is with that one bu

It's 5:00 somewhere...
Cheers...

My fourth Rolex in less than three years arrived this morning -- a brand new 114060. I think it's my favorite. And I can't post photos because I can't figure out how to post Photobucket links here. Sheez!!!
