advise to a rolex owner
I have a newer Rolex Airking 34MM and while it is a great watch so far I m thinking of having an alternate watch (maybe a mide size AT)..6 1/2 wrists, not tall so I am still unable to adjust to these hugh watches, LOL.any advise to an Omega looker?

Is the new SMP bracelet with screws a step backward?
Do you think the new SMP bracelet with the screws to secure the links a step backwards from the previous pins and collars?The new system uses two tiny screws on each side to secure a pin the middle to hold the links together. To me, the tiny screws are ... tiny! They are easily lost, much worse than the collars in the old system.And I have no problem with the pin and collar system. With the right tool, I can size the bracelet easily with no risk of scratch. Now I have to mess with the tiny polished screws, its much easier to lose the screws, and scratch the screws or links with a slip!I wished Omega kept the old pin and collar system or just go with a single large screw to hold the links together.

Supersize v Elegance
The new 5990.... when I first saw it I was delighted.............then I saw the video. While I admire the potential value of this piece to travellers, I cannot bring myself to come to terms with the bloated pushers and (formerly) hinge detail on the crown side. We see iterations of classic designs in all spheres of life and, usually, this comes with a increase in size. There comes, though, a point where the original concept and elegance has evolved into an entirely new product. The elegant 5711 morphed over time into the 5980 which, on its own merits, has become a most admired and classic piece. It retains the original DNA of the Nautilus. Somehow, I feel this has been abandoned with the advent of the 5990. There has always been some crossover between the Nautilus and Aquanaut with the 5164 filling an increasingly important niche in the market. Perhaps it is just the Modernist in me rebelling and I am willing to be convinced otherwise, but I am finding this release somewhat bemusing

Who needs gold?
Snapped this from my deck this evening. Ok, so it's not a pot of gold... but I feel quite lucky nonetheless!

Jubilee Dial on DJ36?
Did I simply miss this earlier or was it reintroduced this year at Basel? I though Jubilee dials were extinct. Funny, another watch in Rose Gold.
