Baselworld 2013: Omega Speedmaster ��57 Co-Axial Chronograph
Baselworld 2013: Welcome yet another?Omega Speedmaster for you Omega fans out there, the Omega Speedmaster '57 Co-Axial Chronograph is a vision of the past with new guts. It seems several items to be unveiled at Baselworld were posted on Omega's site yesterday a bit prematurely and quickly taken down.? We told you yesterday about? the Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon, as we were able to grab some of that info before Omega pulled it from their site, and today we have enough info on another release from that "leak" - I went to that release page today, and in spite of getting George Clooney's face on the error page of the Omega website staring at me......we have another Omega Speedmaster variation to tell you about with timeless appeal that will certainly speak to more people.Take a look at the Omega Speedmaster '57 Co-Axial Chronograph, most obviously a refresh of the very first Omega Speedmaster that came out in 1957. Yesterday, we had the Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon,

Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Watch With "Liquidmetal" Ceramic Bezel
Why on Earth Omega would call a ceramic bezel "Liquidmetal" is a mystery to me (see update below). It not only is ceramic not liquid, but it isn't a metal. Well, it is liquid-like when being formed, but you get the idea. Ceramic as used on watches is actually made from glass as I understand it. It used to be that most bezels on dive watches were made from aluminum. Not sure why that is, but it is still very common. One approach to "luxurize" the bezel was the Blancpain approach of doing a bezel with a sapphire crystal over it. This prevented the scratching that people hate. This is really the problem with aluminum.

Liquidmetal seems to be a special titanium alloy that has the manufacturing process of plastic. Thus it is very malleable. Omega uses Liquid metal at least in parts of

15400 - Blue Dial Pricing
I was in NY this week for work and stopped in the AP boutique. I had actually wanted to see the two-tone rose gold/steel in person, but came away loving the blue dial iteration. Would I be right to assume that it's not really possible to swing any kind of discounts from the boutiques? I've got a local AD that says he can get me 25-30% off a black dial so I'm hoping someone will tell me that I'm wrong ;).

Any chance?
Do you guys think I have any chance of finding the silver snoopy while in Japan? I am in Nagoya and have been to three dealers with no luck. I am going to try Tokyo next weekend but not sure if I will have any luck. It would be awesome to find it at msrp vs the inflated price they are currently selling at. If you have a suggestion on places to check in Nagoya or Tokyo let me know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
