My new DSOM
It's a very handsome watch,I love it so much

Seamaster 300 Basel 2014
Had a chance to try this on at the Galleria in Houston. They are rotating the country and was fortunate to catch them when they hit H-town for two days.This watch is incredibly beautiful and amazingly well balanced. Omega also managed to keep the thickness down, about a 1/4 less thickness than my old PO 8500 from what I can feel on my wrist dyno. I love the pcls and the artificial patina. The clean no date dial is so classy and it's vintage appeal shines through. The size feels just right, about the same as a SubC but a just bit thicker with more presence and solid weighty feel. The movement winds silky smooth and the bezel operation was solid with smooth but pronounced clicks.My favourite was the Sedna gold model obviously but to rich for my budget, secondly the tt was stunning but the third place winner and the one I'll likely buy is the ss version. Here are a few pics of the ss and sedna gold models. Released dates could not be confirmed but around Xmas seems to be the best bet. Why

Well today I went for a little drive and decided to go into this local mall. They have an Omega AD there and to say the least they provided the royal treatment and was impressed. Spent quite some time in there getting catalogues from Tag Heuer (the new hard cover one), Baume & Mercier, and the 2008 Omega book. The salesman insisted I take them to have a look and see if anything catches my eye so what the hey. They now have the new SeaMaster as some of you may already know. The watch is the exact same but the dial and bezel insert are black like the 16610 Submariner. Take a look and sorry if some of those pictures came out a bit blurry.

If your Panerai has polished hands...
...does it bother you if the polished hands are not perfect? Meaning they have some sort of flaw/imperfection on them. Either it be scratches or something else. Not like it's very noticeable, but at certain angles and with the right lighting, I can see that the hands on my 233 are slightly scratched. And I recently had it serviced... though I can't be positive that the hands were perfect before the service. Are your polished hands perfect?Is it too much to expect the hands to be perfect?I've noticed this issue too on other brands/watches, so it's probably more common than it should be.

What effect will the DJ41 have on the value of the DJ2
Are the DJ2s still made? If suspended, are they more valuable? Or are they so common that it doesn't matter?
