The dial too is crafted from the precious metal, as evidenced by the discreet PT950 inscription between 4 and 5 o'clock.

Off To A. Lange & Sohne Watch Making Headquarters In Glashutte, Germany
I've been invited to Glashutte to visit Germany's preeminent luxury watch maker, A. Lange & Sohne. My trip will take me to the Ore Mountains region near Dresden, where A. Lange & Sohne's headquarters and factory is located. Glashutte's main employers are all watch makers, and is known as a prime region focused on the continuation of the world's most dedicated mechanical art from, horology.While touring Glashutte I'll have a rare opportunity to view the nervous system of a German luxury watch making machine, able to observe and converse with the master watch makers themselves. A. Lange & Sohne's production is between only 5000 - 7000 watches a year, due to extremely high quality demands. I am very excited to report my findings to you upon my return, so please pardon the lack of reading material for the next few days until January 17th.Take a look at this aerial view of Glashutte. This is no city, and barely a town. Regardless, this hamlet is world famous for producing mechan

So, seeing that the price of a ceramic diver is between 20-21kusd boutique price , do you reckon its a no-brainer for people intending to purchase a new diver?What are your thoughts people?Would you ditch your SS diver and get a DiverC?

Aqua Terra or Planet Ocean GMT?
I am looking to purchase my first Omega. I am heavily torn between a 41.5 Aqua Terra (Skyfall blue) and the PO GMT Goodplanet. 5 days a week, I dress business casual. On the weekends, I am active outdoors. I travel international 1-2 times per year, so while the GMT feature will come in handy on those occasions, it will be more of a novelty. I think the AT makes more sense for me, but I can't shake the feelings I have for the Goodplanet. That beautiful lacquered dial and ceramic bezel just speak to me. I think at some point, I would like to own both, but for the time being, I have to pick one. Which watch would you pick?
