Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Contemporaine Calibre 1731 Minute Repeater Watch Breaks New Records
It would not be inappropriate for you to engage in a slow, polite clap to congratulate Vacheron Constantin on the release of their new record setting watch that now holds the title as the world's thinnest minute repeater.

Again, it is presented in a brushed and polished case measuring 44.25 mm across and 16.14 mm tall. But the watch looks a whole lot different from its predecessor. 1 OF 3 A follow up to the Grey Side Of The Moon, the "Meteorite" borrows only the original's grey ceramic case, ditching the sand-blasted platinum dial meant to romantically mirror the Moon's surface, for one that actually orbited our planet before crash landing into it.Meteorite dials seem to divide opinion.

Buying a SMP in Houston
I have a buddy visiting Houston from Australia. He is thinking of picking up a SMP on his visit. Any recommendations on an AD willing to make a good deal? Any second-hand recommendations?

Newbie to the site
Hello to all!I have been a fan of Omega watches for a long time, just recently bought an Omega 50th anniversary, Bond LE.Before joining this forum, I had been on many times to read many of the threads on all of these fine watches. I know that for the most part, the Bond, 300m has not been fully appreciated, but it is my first Omega and very proud of my ownership.I would just like to say hello, and happy to be a part of the future discussions.
