Price increase-
Does anyone know what the price increase was and which models had it?

Audemars 2121/3 movement
So, I recently received an AP in as scrap gold. After talking with a broker on these forums, I was informed the watch wasn't overly collectible. I was wondering if anyone knew someone that made custom cases? Something simple and elegant and inline with AP's current lineup. The 80's are gone and i just can't see myself wearing that big hunk of gold around my wrist( 94.8 dwt with movement)I also was thinking of trying to track down a vintage Blue dial and hands and was thinking of putting it in white gold.Any thoughts or ideas?

What to dooooo?? omega vs rolex
Hello again guys,I am getting many thoughts in my head!I have recently found Omega Planet oceans quite attractive, especially the chrono ones. However, I just wanted to ask about the prestige of there watches. I know their retail prices might go up to 7 or 8 k sometimes but are they worth the buy?, because with that kind of money i can save up a little but and buy a ss Daytona or something...What do you guys think? I currently own a Sub-C LV and I was wondering if I should purchase the PLanet ocean chrono or just wait another few months for a daytona ( might have to sacrifice the LV-C for the daytona though).

Lume power
Anyone notice some models have a much higher lume than others?For instance the lume on my 233 blows my 422 awayOr maybe just the lume on my 422 is bad?
