Omega Boutique in PA
So, in my previous post I talked about getting my first Omega.... I love it and will wear it til I can't wear it any longer... My wife bought it for me from Fr. John's AD in DC... I obviously had to get it sized... I figured I would take it to the new Boutique that opened in the King of Prussia mall... They were not happy AT ALL!!! They questioned where I got it and I explained that it was a gift my wife got for me for Fathers Day... Basically I was getting the stink eye the entire time with bit of snooty haughty taughty on the side... Needless to say 1.25 hours later my watch was sized and I'm now rocking the PO 8500 45.5mm...

Multiple people walked in and when they were told there was no discount, they walked out... Anyone else out there run into attitude in the boutiques???I did however manage to see a gorgeous Aqua Terra LE that was stunning!!!!I'm to
Does Rolex release other variations of watches in the fall?
Hi All, I can't recall that they do but maybe I just haven't been paying attention the last couple years. I was watching Watchbox Studios on YouTube & he mentions during his DJ segment that he thinks possibly that an all steel new version may come out mid year or fall as part of the 2018 release. I don't know this guy, have never watched him before so I'm not sure how credible he is or not. Does Rolex release watches in the Fall?
Tudor Black Bay Black 79220N Advice
I've been kicking around the idea of a new everyday watch which would fly under the radar at work. After watching the forums for the past few weeks I've been drawn more and more to the Black Bay Black ETA. I don't buy my watches as investments as I tend to enjoy all of them upon purchase. My question is this, would I be purchasing at the high of the market by doing so today or would it be possible to wait a bit and buy on a dip? From what I've read these seem to be fairly rare in terms of a short production cycle.
