ROO - stay/go? seeking opinions
after having decided that this should leave the stable (my taste recently transitioning more towards traditionally sized watches...as well as recent addition of the Jumbo), I'm now having seller's remorse before it's even sold!this is a model that first caught my eye from a very far distance over 10yrs ago. i still remember the guy that was in a group meeting with me, i believe it was a G series blue/grey petite tapisserie with arabic numerals, the font was much rounder than on my themes (image below).ever since then, it's a model that i always considered 'wow' - moreover, that i would never be in a position to own one myself.fast forward over a decade, many other watches, brand, tastes (yes, was on the 'big watch' train back then, everything 42 or greater), and i feel lucky enough to be in a place on my life to have acquired one. and a beauty at that, i must say. couldn't ask for anything more.but in past few years, tastes have changed, big watches now felt maybe too big. to push thin

Fully brushed Bond bracelet on my SMPC...
I thought you might like a couple shi**y mobile phone photos of probably the first SMPc on TRF :)....I completely brushed the bracelet gently using a circular steel wire tool attached to my drill. I much prefer the more toolish looks of it this way. This watch is a tool for me & comes with me everywhere. Since it was a graduation gift from my lovely family it will always be with me ...

Gosh how does anyone remember these silly model numbers?I think I am liking this one:What do you think?

Any problems with the Omega push-butto clasp?
I have never had a problem with my SMP till somebody mentioned that the spring on the push-button can be worn out. This will cause the watch to open up because the springs are no longer giving the tension that is needed.I am afraid over time object 'A' will lose it's tension and it will not lock on to the to the pin.Anyone replaced the springs...or know how this works because lately it is really easy to push the two buttons as compared to new.

Pricing on 5711/1r
I haven't seen too many incomings for the Basel15 5711/1r, but was curious about discount offerings on it. If a AD is offering at 15% discount, would that be considered a good deal. I don't think a trusted seller could even beat that price, no?
