Ap 26400
Hello RFersI have a few questions to 26400 owners before i pull the trigger. I work my way down so ill end up with a diver or 42mm ROO down the line at some point so i thought why not get get a 44mm first. Personally looking for either the steel or carbon version.If someone owns the Ceramic, RG or even platinum versions feel free to answer.1) Is the watch uncomfortable for everyday use i am talking about wearing it as soon as you get up from bed and taking it off before you sleep.2)I have a 7.5 inch wrist and i found it that the watch surprisingly fits well on smaller wrists such as 6.5 inch wrists.3)If you had the choice of getting the carbon version or a steel version which one would you get and why (color of the dial, contrast sub dials etc)4)The watch is 44mm but does it really wear like a 47mm? Ive tried it once but it was close to a month ago so i don't exactly remember.5)Finally is the watch top heavy again steel vs carbon and does the strap distribute and balance the weight nic

Vintage speedmaster dial...?
I was in a cafe playing backgammon with the owner last week and one of his other friends comes in and sits down and watches us.The whole time I kept staring at his watch because I knew it was an Omega but I've never seen a dial like his, so I finally asked.Apparently it was a Speedmaster he got as a gift in the 80's from a friend.The dial was all white, but it had a weird look to it, kind of like carbon fiber? I have no way to really describe it. It was white, but not like Explorer II white on a Rolex.Edit: it wasn't mother of pearl, either. Unless they used a different style of MOP dials back then. And I hate to say it, but coming from Egypt, the possibility of a fake could be considered, if nobody can find what I'm talking aboutAny ideas/photo suggestions? I want to trade my Tag for one before I buy my Deepsea now.

Travel watch advice
Newbie to forum. Plastic surgeon and live in s florida. I do a lot of lecturing on weekends to docs and staff. I fly commercial usually in jeans and lecture in sport coat/pants/button down no tie. Usually wear white gold daytona on strap but bored with it. Prefer pateks and have 5167,5146 white gold, 5070 white gold, and 3700 and few other vintage non pateks. 5167 too casual - love with shorts or jeans. 5146 too formal and 3700 and 5070 pretty much occasional wear safe queens. Thinking of trading daytona towards 5712 (white gold or steel) or maybe 5711 steel? Advice please? What goes with jeans as well as sport coat/slacks for lecturing? Thank you all for advice

Two lines are just about right
At least I think so:These are Jacek's pix of a watch I bought from him a while ago. My lack of photographic skills are well documented here.

Daytona finally arrived! but...
I live in Chicago, but my family are in Taiwan. Beginning of this year, I asked my brother to put his name on the list for a ceramic Daytona at a authorized dealer where we have bought a few watches from. My brother called me this morning saying a lady at the dealer said they just got a black dial Daytona in and we are on top of the list. Even though white dial is my first choice, I would take a black one any day. I immediately asked my brother to contact the lady and told her we will pay a deposit over the phone to hold it and will pick it up the next day. MSRP in Taiwan is about NT400,000 (USD 13,000). My brother asked if 20% deposit is enough. She said sure, that would be NT100,000 (USD 3600). That's when my brother asked the question, how much is it? The lady responded sticker price is NT400,000, we are selling it for NT500,000. I told him to tell her we are not interested. But I was pretty upset. At least in US, the dealers do not overcharge.
