RGM Starts Case Production in the USA
Following the debut of the first American-produced mechanical watch movement made since 1969, RGM Watch Company is now producing its own watch cases in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The first RGM cases to be produced are those of the 151 series of automatic watches, including the 151P (black-dial Pilot model) and 151E (classic style with engraved dial). In addition to having the ability to locally manufacture the standard 151 cases in stainless steel or gold, RGM is introducing a titanium version of the 151 – the brand’s first titanium production model. The next style scheduled to begin production is the 42 mm case designed to house RGM’s Caliber 801 – the large-size hand-wound movement that is also made in the Lancaster region, which is home to RGM and was the birthplace of some of the greatest watches in American history.

Anyone have wrist shots of GMT II and 39mm or 41mm ROC side by side
I really like the ROC panda but find the size of 40mm GMTII to be the min for me. The new ROC's 41mm may be the answer but there is no panda option. I would have to go with the black face to get the size I want. Perhaps a member who owns both can provide wrist shots to compare?TIA

Omega NATO - is anything else even close???
Does anyone make a NATO that approximates the quality of the Omega NATO? I'm new to NATOs, and have been wearing my Speedmaster Pro on the OEM NATO for the past couple of months, and find it fantastic. I recently ordered some very highly regarded straps from an online retailer that specializes in NATOs, and I found two issues. One - the quality of the material was not as desired/expected, and two - with the watch head centered, the buckle is not even close to being centered under my wrist. It was literally on the very edge of my wrist. Any recommendations???Also, does anyone know who makes Omega's straps?Thanks,Steve

Bracelet links for Speedmaster 3330.20
First time poster here on the Omega forum. I've been interested in a Speedmaster and had pretty much settled on a 3570.50 - looks to be a great watch. Then I saw a 3330.20, DA 375.0034. This is a SS and gold watch and bracelet. Here's the concern. The bracelet is only 6.9 and I need 7 1/2. I know on the Rolex side, there are some trusted sellers who have many older Rolex parts. How about for the above watch? I certainly can't consider buying it if I can't wear it? Thanks!

Will Demand for the New Pepsi GMT Affect Demand for the Hulk?
Two different watches, certainly, but am curious about thoughts on whether the availability and hype of this newest model, with an improved movement, might affect the demand for the Hulk a bit. That would be overall, and possibly among those who may be on waiting lists for both watches. If they came in at the same time and you could only afford one at the moment, which would you pull the trigger on? Would you wait for the Pepsi if it was a later availability instead, (USA) and if you expected funds would not otherwise be there in full? Also, thoughts about whether production/availability of the present Hulk might open up a little more if Rolex is contemplating making movement changes and re-styling the Sub, for the next Basel or otherwise. My SS preferences at the moment are to acquire a Hulk and one of the new OP 39mms in white. Interested in getting opinions as to whether Hulk availability is going to continue totally as is, or perhaps may get a little better. Thanks.
