Watch Spotting: Vladimir Putin Wearing A Blancpain Grande Date Aqua Lung While Signing Treaty To Annex Crimea
If you've been watching the news, you'll know that earlier today Russian President Vladimir Putin declared Crimea a part of Russia in a ceremony at the Kremlin. After a speech in front of parliamentarians and various regional governors, Putin sat down with leaders from the peninsula and signed a draft treaty annexing Crimea. We couldn't help but notice that there was a watch prominently displayed on his wrist.

Omega Apollo 11 & Vancouver 2010
Even though I have only ever bought Rolex from my AD they offered me both the Vancouver 2010 (125 out of 2010) and Apollo 11 limited edition.Are these really sought after in Omega circles? The box on the Apollo 11 is quite nice.

Omega Lume Question
Hey everybody, I have a question about certain Omegas and their lume colors. It seems like the seamaster professionals have a blue lume, whereas I've seen Planet Ocean models with what appears to be either green or blue lume depending on the picture. Most people seem to agree that Omega has very impressive lume, but I'm wondering which color is used on the Planet Ocean?References:i135.photobucket/albums/q...s/IMG_0278.jpg.time2watch.net/images/po2.jpg
