AP Strap Options
I don't remember where I saw it but it seems like someone said it was possible to order a custom strap directly from AP. Is this possible to do this with the 4101? And if so, how long does it typically take to receive it once you order it? Here are some obligatory pics because every thread needs them

Omega "Reverse" Speedy Panda 32105100
A few months ago I was searching high and low for an Omega Speedy Panda. I went in to the Omega boutique here in Beverly Hills just to try one on and to my surprise the watch was not easy to read. (Old man eyes! ) First of all 40mm does not help, then the white background also did not help. Then I saw the reverse Panda, black with white dials and magic! I soon a good deal and now an Omega Speedmaster (32105100) is in the collection.

WG Blue SkyD vs SS Blue SkyD - Wider SS Oyster Bracelet Makes them look different
I know there are a lot of people who don't understand why anyone would purchase the WG version when the SS version is half the price...and the watches look the same.I have stated before that looks are just one aspect.The heft and feel of the WG version is completely different and at least to me, something that gives me great pleasure over the SS one.And of course, when you look at SS vs WG vs PT..they do look different...same color white but different hues and tones as to be identifiable to a trained eye but of course not easily detectable by the public.As I stated, I am fine with that.But, there is actually a difference between the WG and SS model in terms of appearance.The newer SS model has a newly designed oyster bracelet that fits into the lugs a little wider than the PM versions. It actually looks nicer than the PM bracelet.So, as with dial color etc on other models when it comes to SS vs PM.....the SkyD may have the same dial color and sticks between the SS and PM model.....but
