MB&F HM5 Carbon vs AP RB II Ti
Hi ! Long time lurker here. Currently I am considering to buy either one of MB&F HM5 Carbon or the AP RB II Ti. I have tried the MB&F HM5 albeit in rose gold and it is simply a stunning piece and sits on my wrist perfectly. However, AP RB II Ti is one of the most iconic ROO out there. What do you guys think ?MB&F HM5 Carbon Pros:About 5-7k cheaper than RB IIMore Limited piece (66 pieces)UniqueI love MB&F and appreciate what Max has doneConsNot a watch in traditional senseAfraid value does not hold as wellI must wait at least a month to get itHarder to service in my areaPicsAP RB II Ti ProsOne of the most iconic ROOI love the bulky and intimidating lookHolds value very well since it is discontinuedEasier servicingConsNon-casebackPretty oldI already have AP ROO Black/Red

Good price for an Orange PO 42mm on bracelet?
Hey guys, I've been looking at purchasing an orange PO 42mm on bracelet. I've seen used ones going for 1700-2000, are those all good prices on used POs? What are the going prices for new ones at an AD? I don't know if I should pull the trigger on an used one or go for a new one if there are real good deals at an AD.It would be awesome to hear what you guys think since I'm new to Omegas.

Weeks to 1 month waiting time for 114060
Previously I asked around most ADs in singapore for the sub no date and most of them required me to wait at least a few months to a year. Today I walked into one which told me I would need to wait weeks-a month to get it. Are the supply of SS coming back? If so, would it be a bad time to buy? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
