L��m-Tec Combat B16 + Super Combat B2: Side by Side Review
The Combat B line of watches by L��m-Tec appeal to that macho side of our aesthetics; the side that looks at a mud covered truck or a stealth plane in flight and can't help but think "cool". They are tough, bold tanks-of-a-watch that beckon you to test their capabilities. Born from a history of military designs, they manage to do more than emulate the aesthetic; they live up to the name "Combat".?Yet, they are not dumb brutes, but rather refined watches that can be worn in or out of active circumstances. The Combat B16 and Super Combat B2 represent the current top-of-the-line for the series. The B16 is the mechanical 3-hand version of the standard Combat style and the Super Combat is a new larger titanium version with a hand wound movement. On the surface, they appear very similar, and they both appeal to the same aesthetic, but differences, both subtle and significant, make them very different watches.In this side-by-side review we take a look at the watches, comparing and contrasting

It's here! My first AP.
My first AP! Went with the new 15202 jumbo. Was having good ol' DSW source a 15300 (which I'm still mulling), but he mentioned yesterday that he had an inbound BNIB 15202 (warranty dated this week) from his AD. I thought about it for a good 30 seconds and pulled the trigger. David had the AD drop ship it to my place and I received it this morning. The thinner case and 39mm size suits my wrists better than the 15400. As has been mentioned before, it wears a lot like a PP 5711 - which is also in my rotation. However, the 15202 bracelet is a bit more comfortable IMHO. I love the patisserie dial and its subtle color changes in different light. The detailing on the watch is insane - up there with my Pateks.Thank you DavidSW for another smooth transaction, and thank you Thomas (TSW) for bracelet sizing advice after some issues with overuse of loctite at the AP factory. Coincidentally, the 15202 arrived the same day I received my always-delayed copy of WatchTime featuring the RO Jumbo. Enough

No AD in my area
My home is in rural Texas, about 1.5 hours from Austin. There is no AD near by and I'm interested in buying a 42mm PO. Can anyone recommend an AD that will ship to Texas? I really don't care where they are located, out of TX saves me a bit on sales tax, but really want to purchase from an AD. Another semi-related question - is there significant differentiation in the US on price from AD to AD or do they all sell at MSRP? Obviously I'm new to this so any advice is appreciated. I understand from reading this forum that pricing is a sensitive issue with Omega so if a private message is a more appropriate way to communicate please let me know. Thanks!

I wish Rolex would (you fill in the rest)
Offer an Oyster Perpetual without those little colored specks at the hour markers. I'd buy one in a heartbeat. They might be fine for the younger crowd but I'm stuck in the 1960s and to me, those little specks make the Rolex look more like a Swatch. The OP is a really classy, understated watch but those specks...
