Talking Watches: With Jos�� Bautista

He hasn't slowed down since; over the past six seasons, he has hit the most home runs in baseball. (Bautista finished the recently completed 2015 season with 40 home runs; his Blue Jays begin the playoffs on October 8th against the Texas Rangers.)

Omega Sighting!
Hello fella's,Never been over here before but always liked the brand. While working in Kingston last week we had a co-worker from Montego Bay come over for some training. He was wearing an orange bezel Planet Ocean. Great looking watch. He was not a WIS but did know about other brands and complimented my Oris TT1.dP

Patek 5522
I got approached by AD about possability of being allocated 5522. Have to pay in full and should be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. Trying to figure out whether to pull a trigger or pass. Its hard to pass as im not a big customer but bought a few watches and sent a few referrals, which helped develop relationships with AD sales rep.. I have obviously not seen it in person and not sure if i should commit or not. My wrist is between 6.75 and 7 so not sure how this would look. if anyone tried it at New York Exhibition please send some pics. Anyone that has personal likes and dislikes please let me know as well. Any feedback or thoughts are appreciated!! Thx
