Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Co-Axial Chronograph "Teak Concept Dial" Watches
I recently mentioned the brother of this watch which has a 24-hour hand. That was the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Co-Axial GMT Chronograph watch. Take out the "GMT" and you have this model. Of which, there are actually going to be only a few. There will be the pictured two-tone model in steel and rose gold, a white gold model, an all steel model, and a all rose gold model. This is arguably a more marketable model than the GMT given the more conservative and "Omega" looks of this watch. The GMT had a controversial bezel, while the smooth polished bezel of this Aqua Terra Chronograph is more sober and simple looking. Actually, Omega might have made the right choice to give it a smooth dial against the vertical texturing of the "Teak Concept" dial.Aside from the lack of GMT and bezel, the watch case is mostly the same, if not identical to the GMT model.

Rolex Day-Date 36 for small (5.5") wrist
Hello everybody.I am not interested in watches in general, but the only one I would like to have is Day-Date (YG/WG); however I am curious whether it would fit my very small wrist with the Presidential bracelet. Do the permanent links have to be removed if I'd like to have it well fitted for 5.5 wrist?When it comes to watches for me - it is either Day-Date or no watch (haven't wore watch almost entire life).Also, I am very modest and having this kind of watch with relatively small wrist could look kinda... lets say that would be mentally contradictive for me :) (someone could guess from my nick!)This one watch fever for Rolex has been for months, and I just try to cope with it now somehow!P.S. I am a male so no women's day-date watches for me :D

I'm so lonely today
Not a date in sight.
