Basil 2011 reflections from an old Omega fan
In a sense, I am disappointed with the Omega introductions and Rolex as well, but on the other hand, I am delighted.First off, My Liquidmetal LE is looking better all the time. I have never had a problem with any of the seven 2500 movements I have owned, including A, B, & C versions, so the larger, thicker 8500 movement is not an attraction for me. And Ti is a deal killer for me. With all the changes to the Planet Ocean, my LM LE will be a one-of-a-kind along with only 1947 others. Thank you Omega for making it a true collectible.Certainly, the new SMP models cannot hold a candle to the classic sword hand models. And who needs any Speedy other than the Professional with the classic Lemania manual wind movement?So bottom line: I am quite happy with my LM, my 2255.80, and my Speedy Pros.Omega's Rolex marketing decisions have made me ask If Omega wants to be like Rolex, why not buy Rolex? That is why I have recently added two classic discontinued Rolex models to my collection,

New Seamaster GMT 2234.50 arrives . . .
Oh yeah, it's here. You may remember my initial thread about this little guy (.rolexforums/showthread.php?t=110955). Well, it just arrived. I'm going to need an additional link or two, so I'll get a better wrist shot later.

Patek 5712 help
Looking at spending around $30 k on a 5712. Do I go older/newer? S/s or white gold ? rubber or leather? (as the actress said to the bishop). I had originally been looking at a 5146g or 5396g but the Nautilus really grew on me as I was searching. I guess I find it hard to spend $30 k on a s/s and rubber watch.All thoughts welcome (except the member who tells me to do my own research everytime I ask a question!)
