Audemars Piguet Royal Oak OffShore Wempe Scuba Watch Available On JamesList.com
This is an interesting limited edition watch that combines everything I like about diving themed watches and the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak lines of watches. Bearing the name of "Wempe," a? line of luxury watch stores strategically placed all over the world, this limited edition of 175 watches is rare and very cool. This watch was created in honor of Wempe's 100th anniversary. The iconic eight sided octagonal Royal Oak watch bezel was never the type of design that was good for a rotating bezel - so Audemars Piguet inserted an internal bezel that resolved the problem of not having a round bezel. The internal uni-directionally rotating bezel is operated via the crown positioned at 10 o'clock. The case is 44mm wide and steel. A rose gold version was also available, but was not as good a value costing 2-3 times the price of this version.

Does anyone know how many Jumbo's are actually made so far or each year?
Curious to know if any of you guys have heard the production numbers or relative numbers per year. I have heard anywhere from 100 to 200 produced in total so far. Can anyone verify this info?

Silver Snoopy has landed
A few Q&D's of the new Snoopy speedy.Omega was the first brand I bought when I could afford a nice watch. I then owned several of them before abandoning ship for the unknown diverse waters of this insane hobby of ours.A week or so ago I discovered the Snoopy and after making 20+ plus calls I sadly discovered that it was sold out and no one would even take a name in case somebody bailed. As luck would have it, one popped up on TZ and a deal was made and the watch is now on my wrist. Nothing like instant gratification :)I am pysched to be back in the Omega fold with a Speedy. A classic watch for sure. I also have a lifelong love of Peanuts and Snoopy. Love everything about this watch. The dial is a work of art and so is the back. And like my Deepsea, you don't notice the writing on the dial unless you really look. Even with my reading glasses on I can barely make out the 14 seconds quote.Enjoy!

1866
Hi again.Is the cal 1866 based off the 1861? I am digging 3575.20.00. Can the moon phase dial tell the date - it looks like it does? Would you consider this to be a moon watch?Thank you.

Scratches on Submariner second hand?
I was cleaning my watch today and noticed what looks like scratches on the second hand. I'm curious to know if anyone else has noticed something like this on their watch. It's only really visible under magnification which I know is OCD but just wanted to see if this was considered normal or not. Was very difficult to photograph and definitely is not a reflection or glare. See photo below:
