Seamaster 2254.50 or the current 212.30
I have decided to get an Omega Seamaster to use as my daily watch.And for several weeks I have been bouncing back between the 2254 and the current SMPc model - blue dial.I have been offered a 2254 from 2002 and a lovely preowned 212.30 from 2013.Both imo are great looking watches and fit my wrist nicely.Buying both is not an option, as I don't tend to buy two of the same style watches. Here's what I think, but please forgive my amateurish approach and lack of knowledge:2254ProsNice looking dialLove the sword handsBeautifully slim caseGreat lumeETA movement - so more flexibility when it comes to be repaired.ConsOlder watch and movement212.30ProsCo-Axial movementCeramic bezelnice looking dialCurrent model, made from the latest designs and technologyConsSits slightly higher on the wristThe gloss finish on the dialColour combination of the dateThere are most likely to be a few other pros and cons for either watch which I don't know about.This would be my only dive watch and its a possibili

Shall I keep my Daytona 116500LN white face?
Hi there, I'm a new member, I'm not a collector by any means but I did buy my father a GMT II for his 60th Birthday in 2005 I think its a 16710. I know a little bit about the sports watches but really not much compared to the wealth of knowledgeable members posts I have read on this forum.I had the good fortune of picking up a 116500LN recently from an AD. Its a long story as I wanted a BLNR but ended up with the Daytona. Now I have this watch which is gorgeous, It cost me a lot of money and I'm in too minds whether to keep it, I can't really afford to have a watch that expensive unless its going to appreciate in value. I am aware its worth more than what I paid for it. But what about in 10 years time when a new version comes out, will this watch plummet in price to below retail? I doubt very much I will ever wear the watch as its still in the box with tags. Should I keep this box in the safe untouched or sell it now before the next Daytona comes out?Thank you for your help.

In search of Daytona in Beijing
I'm going to Beijing in a couple weeks. While I have been on the list at my local AD for some time, I'm losing hope in ever getting my hands on one. Does anyone know the relative availability of hard to find Rolex models (specifically the Daytona white dial) in Beijing? I'm prepared to pay a bit above list if that makes any difference. I know it's a long shot, but I would really appreciate any recommendations and/or connections. Many thanks!

Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36mm or 39mm?
Hey guys,I have been saving for a while and have hit around the halfway mark for buying a Rolex Oyster Perpetual! I am super excited. However, I'm uncertain of whether to go for the 39mm or 36mm? I have a 17.5cm (6.8) wrist and I am 25 year old male who works in a corporate environment. I don't like my watches to be too flashy, I prefer the stealth wealth look. Will the 36mm be too small for my wrist? The 39mm is definitely on my mind, however, I'm not really a big fan of the blue dots in the dail, above the hours.any advice or opinions would be appreciated :)Thank you!
