Orange Omega Teaser
Anyone see this? I hope it means that a ceramic orange bezel is coming for the SS Planet Ocean.

Wait or buy?
Hi all, as you know I just got a 5726 today, and already have a 5712-1A, basically it's the only 2 nice watches I have, flipped my RG Daytona and the Hulk.My question is, my 2 PP are not really beaters, before I always had a sub or something of the sort, I plan on MAYBE getting, not sure, a 5167R in a few years, I know it's not a beater, I was thinking either get a 114060 (non date sub) and that would be my trio, or just wearing my old Omega for swimming and sports and just get a 5167R when I can, I would swim with it and practice non violent sports.Knowing that I found it not very comfortable to wear heavy watches like a sub recently, exact opposite before I needed to feel the watch, not the case since I got my 5712, so do you think I should get the sub and flip it when/IF I get the 5167R, or just wear my Omega?Here's a few pics of the Omega.Thanks in advance for your repliesP1000729.JPGP1000730.JPG

Patek Shopping in London...Recommendations
Hello all,I've just arrived in London and will be here for the next 10 days. I am planning to do some watch shopping over the weekend and have some questions for the UK guys on the forum:1. I've had recommendations to go to New/Old Bond Street - are there any recommendations beyond this street?2. As a non-resident of the UK, do AD's here rebate instantly or are there limitations to a VAT refund for luxury items?3. I am specifically looking at the 5167 and 5146, what discounts should I be expecting to get at AD's?Any help with the above or beyond would be greatly appreciated!Cheers,Eric

When is "No Price Increase" a Price Increase?
Rolex so far has not increased prices in the US. One can buy any watch at the price it was last year and the year before from an AD (not from a GD). All you have to do is buy from the AD who doesn't have the model which is desired but can supply it if multiple watches are purchased or can supply a PM version of the watch but not the SS standard. The ADs may make the same percentage but make a greater total profit on each watch sold or each sale. The manufacturer realizes a higher profit on each watch it sells (PM vs SS). But no price increase. Yup. I'm buying two tone GMT at a considerably higher price than the Red and Blue staple because in this case I like the watch but also because in this case there will never be an available version of the SS model for me. It is a price increase on the order of $5000. QED.

Rolex Appraisal
Went to my local Rolex AD this weekend and brought my submariner in with box and all the papers for an appraisal so I can insure the watch. The owner of the store was there and asked if I was the original owner of the watch, to which I said no ( as there is someone else's name on the warranty card). I explained that I bought this online from a trusted preowned seller. He refused to give me an appraisal on the watch because I wasn't the original owner......Is this common?He also acted pretty snobbish when I told him where I bought the watch......funny as his his shop was completely empty of customer as per usual.....
