Which AP ROO?
Hi guys, I recently tried on the new (well last year's) 42mm ROO they released and I really like it! I love it on the rubber so whichever dial colour I go for, I will use it on rubber. I wanted to get some help from the esteemed members here to help me choose which one to get. I am leaning towards the Grey or Navy but thoughts or photos of the Safari or black are welcome too. Alternatively any user thoughts on this piece, how it wears, versatility also welcome. Also I am not really planning to sell any of my other pieces so thoughts on how it fits into my collection would be great!Thank you in advance!

21mm options
having just acquired a 43.5mm PO, i've found myself in quite a spot.i've got a tonne of 20mm straps, natos, and generic bracelets, and i've got a few 22mm natos tooBUT, i've kinda grown out of nylon in recent days and generally prefer the bracelet or rubber.that said, i am having a helluva time finding the kind of 21mm rubber i'm looking for. ideally, i'd like something like what Rubber B or Everest Straps offers with the curved ends that fit the case.i've looked into genuine omega rubber straps with deployment and they are quite expensive. does anyone know of any strap makers that do a rubber strap kinda like what rubber b and everest do?Cheers,Matte

My first Omega -- Speedmaster 145.012-67
Hi folks,I just purchased a Speedmaster 145.012-67 (c321) with a 1039 bracelet.It's my first Omega, first Vintage and first Speedmaster -- all rolled up in one.Karl.PS: A few obligatory pics��

Scratches on display watches?
I stopped by an Omega dealer to check out the Speedmaster Pro. I had a loupe with me from seeing a used Rolex, and checked out the Speedy. I was surprised to find six scratches--three on the bracelet, and three on the case. Is it safe to assume that this is not normal, and the watch has been handled roughly, or perhaps returned from a previous sale?I'm sure the scratches can be polished out on the brushed finish, but should I have to polish a new watch?

Intriguing AD visit
I was at the mall today with some time to kill and decided to stop by the local AD to try on a 233 (again), since I've been lusting for one ever since I sold my 422, after finally admitting that it wore too large for my liking and was being left at the watch box without getting much use.Well, they didn't have a 233 in the store, which was a bummer, but I got to try on a 533, which I didn't like as much as the 233. I missed the dome crystal and the thinner profile of the 233, although it was nice to have the 9 numeral on the dial of the 533.Then, when I was getting ready to leave, something caught my eye in the watch box, and I asked to try it on. It was a 425 (47mm Rad with SLC dial), and wow! I thought it was amazing!I had never given Radiomir models much thought, but this piece seemed much easier to wear than my 422. The absence of the crown protecting mecanism of the luminor cases, added to the slimmer profile of the hand wind caliber and the sleekness of the wire lugs made this 47m
