Omega Speedmaster: Present Day
Speedys in the movies (and TV). Speedmaster, the early years. Graduation to the Professional ranks. Electronic, quartz, and other Speedmaster variations. We've seen a lot of the Speedmaster over the last few articles, and it brings us to the present day.For sure, Omega knows what they have in their heritage. Along with creating new models, the last few years have seen Omega releases in the form of updates to venerable models of the past. These include several models from the Seamaster line, Broad Arrow models, the PloProf, and the Bullhead. The Speedmaster line includes the First Omega In Space homage to Wally Schirra's Mercury Sigma7 mission watch and the new MK II. And most of these reinterpretations carry the new co-axial escapement which the late George Daniels kindly provided the horological world.A quick check of the Omega website shows 13 major Speedmaster models. The variations total 73 different current releases when you add up dial, color, case material, strap/bracelet option

Broke My Explorer II :(
I was changing the date on my 5 digit ExII to catch it up with the short month, Plus I haven't worn it for about a week. To change the date, you advance the hour hand around twice independently. It will click from hour to hour. Then, I noticed it was no longer clicking, but merely spinning around the dial. It's still changes the date, but it is no longer running with the time. I wonder how expensive this will be?

Incoming: BLNR close up
So some of you might read my thread on letting go my DJII. I did and found a good grey dealer in the city and they have 3 BLNRs all with good price. Never thought that I will picked this one up, because when BLNR was announced I always thought the blue seems like out of place. But now, I can agree that I think this is the best modern GMT out there. Anyone thinking to grab this, I can ensure you to grab this as soon as possible and don't look back. Even if you need to pay a little bit of the premium. Another thing that I need to highlight is the grey dealer who I've dealt with. Really superb superb service from the staff and the boss lady who was there when I picked up the watch the following day. Anyone wondering the spot just PM me :)

Opinions on Ebay 1501 needed.
Thank you in advance for any comments or observations that can be made about the watch or any other part of the sale/presentation including the seller. sshah2010 I have been browsing for a birth year (1975) watch for a while and another TRF'ers recent acquisition got me to looking again. Not really wanting to pay the prices for subs or GMT's if the era. Had originally decided on some sort of DJ on a strap, maybe YG but flexible. This popped up on eBay and naturally I am going to do my due diligence. Looks really good to me but the date range 4,ooo,xxx seems off for a 1975 watch as advertised. Seems more 1973'ish??? But it appears to be complete and in wonderful shape and I am not sure it has ever been refinished?? Any and all questions and comments welcome. And again, thank you in advance for your opinions.
