Will AP release new 'racing' watches?
Hi all,The AP ROO 44 is my all time favourite watch. The ROO 42 is also a sweet piece. Over the years, we've seen limited edition racing style watches. The RB ( and II,III), various versions of the GP, same goes for the Schumi etc. Will we see more....and when? Or are they done and dusted?I realise this is all speculation- I for one would jump on a new release. Here's hoping....Cheers!

New addition to my collection!
Last week, I was in a dilemma (more like a trilemma but yea, it was narrowed down to two) between Safari and Panda.And when I tried them on, I just had to go with the Panda (No wonder there's so much hype about it!). Nothing wrong with Safari, still a thing of beauty but the Panda had a buzz to it.Here are a few shots of my new baby:(P.S. What do you lads think about the size on me?)Slightly 'loose' strap:Strap tightened a bit more:

SMP Spring Bar Ordeal
Has Omega really cracked down this much on parts distribution? Otto Frei is no longer able to get SMP spring bars and I was told the only way to get any Omega parts is through an AD or watchmaker with a Swatch / Omega account.So, I placed an order with the local AD and provided part numbers for both the shorter bars (bracelet) and longer bars (strap). I was told they would be in a week. After following up three weeks in a row, I was told they couldn't find my order and their watch tech would call me back. The watch tech called and informed me they always have spring bars and I could come pick them up anytime. He also added SMP spring bars only come in one size. Hmmmm.My wife had to run an errand at the store next door, so she stopped by to pick up the order and she was told (rather rudely) I was misinformed and they will not sell spring bars. They will replace spring bars, but they need to see the watch and will only provide spring bars if they install them.Needless to say, I wi

Owning BOTH PO 8500 & PO 8500 Titanium
Anyone think they are too similar to own both a 45.5MM Planet Ocean 8500 on black rubber strap AND a blue 45.5MM Planet Ocean titanium on blue leather strap?

Speedmaster Date (3210.50) inbound . . .
Well, I ended up with two Railmasters (36.2mm and 39.2mm). I thought about keeping both, but after trading PMs with another TRF member with a smaller wrist, I decided to sell him my lovely 36.2mm Railmaster. Well, not wanting my little growing collection to shrink, I decided to take a hard look at Speedmasters. After holding both a black and white version in my hand at the local AD, I decided on the Speedmaster Date with black dial (3210.50). So, since I wanted a bigger discount than that offered by my local AD and also wanted to save sales tax, I called my out-of-state AD and one is now on its way. It'll be here tomorrow. I will post photos of it's arrival . . .
