New Omega Owner
I have been gradually getting more interested in Omega over the past year, ever since Chris (aka GMT Master) raved about them. I always liked the PO but felt it was a little too big and heavy. I like the diameter of the 42 mm model (as it seems extremely close to my GMT), but even it was a little taller than I'm used to, and a bit top heavy for me. I got pretty excited when I learned that the blue titanium model was being released in 42mm because I love the blue colour, and figured the titanium would solve my concern with the weight. However I had never actually tried on the 45.5mm titanium version until today. I was pleasantly surprised with the lightness - it felt much better on my wrist than even the steel 42mm. I also slightly prefer the proportions of the 45.5mm given the thickness of the PO.This is by far the biggest watch I own, and it might take a bit of time to get used to the size, but the lightness of the titanium makes it very comfortable for me. I will likely never

5712/1A - buy pre-owned or wait?
I never expected to be posting this as I've always considered myself to be a dress-watch person. In fact, over the past few months I've been looking for a PC and I always expected that to be my next purchase. But after having spent too much time on TRF and seeing how much adulation is reserved for the 5711/5712, I saw that a local dealer got a 5712/1A in stock. So I went to see it yesterday (Sat) and was pleasantly surprised. This's the 1st time I've seen a SS nautilus in person (an AD has one in dual-tone). One reservation is that at 43mm, it's borderline too large for my wrist as I prefer sub-39mm. I didn't expect to like it but I did and it's growing on me. Call me a convert/believer.IMG_2487.JPGAnyway, having never purchased a pre-owned watch before, I've a couple of questions I'd like to ask:-- the 4yo old watch (dated mid-2013) is priced (net) ~5% below MRP. Is this reasonable? Normally I'd think not, but given the demand for this piece I'm unsure- the salesperson said that it is

Nautilus - manual winding when fully wound
Quick random question - for those with a Nautilus, when it's fully wound and you try and manual wind it does it wind freely (though disengaged) or do you meet resistance?Many thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Three new photos of the 422
Three photos, shot one after another, processed three different way.I would have shot more but it started raining, as you can see from the drops on the dial.Since I could not decide on which one I like the most, you get all three.

Hello TRF. New Member and Intro.
Hi TRF,Sorry for the longish post.New member here and my first post. I didn't find this great community until very recently. I have been trying my best to read as much as I can...but most of my time ended up in the forsale sections:)A quick and brief intro about myself and my Rolex/watch journey up til present. I am in my mid 40s and a tech executive in a tech company. I have always been happy wearing my Casios, Seikos, and Citizens as my every day watch and still am but have a few nicer watches to go with the them now. My wife bought me my first Rolex about 4 years ago, a pre-owned DateJust 16234 from our jeweler who is also a Rolex AD. I have really enjoyed this watch. The following year we bought a pre-owned SD 16600 Y serial which was a trade-in at this same store.Fast forward 2 years, I have bought 2 brand new rolexes from the same store a couple weeks ago. I wanted an everyday work watch that fits into my work environment. Something low key, not too flashy, not too big, not too
