NEW MODEL - Planet Ocean Master Chronometer Co-Axial Caliber 8801
Another early reveal from Omega. I'm eager to see the steel version, but the size seems great at 39.5mm and 14mm tall.

PAM 422: Who has one and what are your thoughts?
Would love to hear from current or former owners on their experiences with the 422. I think it's a beauty and am in the process of getting one. Please share the good, bad and ugly!

The worst things about strap addiction...
The worst things about strap addiction...10. Being able to guess the strap maker from pics9. Looking at materials around you and thinking that'd make a good strap8. Finding places to hide those new straps7. Wanting to buy someone's dirty stained strap6. Spending more time matching leather, string, and buckle than what you're wearing5. Realizing you could have bought a new watch (or more)4. Owning straps you've never worn yet wanting more3. Caring more about the strap's looks than the watch it's attached to2. Waiting months for that new strap to arrive1. Needing to buy another strap while you wait for said new strap to arrive

OEM Leather or Rubber on SS Watches
Any theories on why Rolex doesn't put non-metal bracelets on SS watches?They save leather and oysterflex straps for PM watches. A Sub or GMT would like great on oysterflex, and DJ 41 would like great on leather.

Finally Joined the Rolex Family (via Tudor)
After 15 years of watch collecting I'm the closest I've ever been to owning a Rolex, which is to say I just received my Tudor 76200 Date+Day. Big Hat Tip to Adam in Hong Kong for cluing me in that these are still being sold brand new in some Asian Markets.It's everything I never thought I could find: A brand new 40 year old Rolex. A stainless steel day date. A cyclops I can live with. All in an unassuming 36mm case. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
