Help on a Speedmaster please.
To make a short story long....many moons ago I decided on a Sub over a Speedy. After that I went for an AT Chrono, bypassing the Speedy once again. To make things even worse I added a Panerai and a JLC after that. Now I feel almost guilty that the speedy has been overlooked for so long. So time to act!Anyway, I have found this 3570.50.00 Speedmaster. It's a 2006, comes with papers, has had a light polish, and comes with a 12 month movement warranty. Asking price is AU $2,999.Can i have some opinions on this watch/price pls. Also should I be going for the Hesalite or a sapphire?

Two tone ceramic bluesy thoughts
After having this piece for a few years, it just doesn't do it for me. I hardly ever wear it, but when I do,it's too much bling. I'm thinking of trading it for a pre ceramic sub or Kermit once the USA housing market again collapses. I also find it hard to read because of all the colors. I've tried to like this watch because my wife even loves it. The AD loves it too and offered to buy it back less ten percent, which isn't so bad. My question is for sub wearers.... is the black legible. Do you guys like pre ceramic or ceramic. Then there's the bracelet to consider. The slid8ng clasp is a very nice option and I love it, BUT I never really have to use it. Not even on my deep blue. So, really it's not that important to me, despite being impressive. Have you guys ditched the two tone blue sub, and if so, for what? I think the standard sub would be my preference or even an explorer 2 for its gmt function. I guess I'll get gouged but my two tone is the newer sunburst dial. My wife loves the s

Casual stroll through Heathrow, London....
I read on this forum a few months ago that a member just walked into watches of Switzerland in Heathrow and managed to get a Submariner black ceramic steel. This incident just never happens at the airport with a tax free price.I have called up previously on the day of the flight to see if the watch is there, and i have always been told that the stainless steel is hard to come by.So i rock up at heathrow yeaterday afternoon, just about to get a late lunch in the bar a few shops down from WOS. I thought to myself don't bother even asking the salemen as its impossible they'll have one. Then an urge came over me to just walk in and enquire. Asked the nice man 'bit of a silly question...' and before i could even finish the sentence, they guy said 'your going to ask if we have the submariner..... we just got one of each date/non date in 10 minutes ago'. 20 minutes later i walked out with a shiney brand new Sub date, ��1k cheaper than the RRP!!! So chuffed!

Diamond rolexes? Why so lukewarm?
Noobie here. Love the forum but please forgive my ignorance and lack of knowledge. It seems to me that people don't really love the diamond references as much as the ones without. Some diamond versions don't even seem to be selling for much more than the non diamond ones. Can you give me some insight to why this is? I mean rolexes are awesome and valuable. Diamonds are valuable. Put them together and it should be ultra valuable. But it just isn't so. Why?
