Educate me on the Speedy
I'm looking to get one of these for my 40th birthday (used, preferably minty). From a collector's point of view, what should I be looking for? Any particular caliber? Thanks much.

Regret...
Selling my Omega Seamaster Pro Quartz. The blue bezel and blue wave dial are just such a great combo, along with the whole design of the watch. Sold mine for less than $1,000 and thinking about going to an AD and buying a new one for retail, $2,050. That makes a lot of sense.I am posting this thread in case any of you Omega owners are considering selling your Seamasters. If you have the slightest doubt, do not sell it! HOLD ON TO IT! Take it from someone who made the wrong decision. Happy holidays

Coke GMT looming = end of the BLNR?
So now that Rolex has released the SS BLRO with a new movement, could the BLNR be discontinued and be replaced with a long awaited Coke GMT in a couple of years?- After the Sub has had it updates next year of course!Would love to hear your thoughts on this subject thanks.

Explorer II 16570 vs. DateJust Turn-O-Graph 116264
Shopping for my first Rolex and initially these two models weren't even on my radar, I'd been really focused on a vintage 1601/1603 for that classic look. However, the more I've researched and thought about it I'm finding that either of these could be a really great starter piece that I'd probably get more use out of. Considering I'm a youngish guy (mid-30's) I've had multiple people say that a sportier look would be better on me and easier to dress up or down.The 16570 seems to be much more common and appreciated and I like its more toned down look. Meanwhile the 116264 had a more limited production and doesn't get discussed much, but there's something about the sport bezel on the TOG dial with red date wheel and sec hand that gives it a best of both worlds quality that's really appealing. I've also heard the 16570 will likely hold its value better while the 116264 may not since people seem to have a love/hate reaction to it.I could easily flip a coin and be happy with either, but

Notice the different? Yay or Nay?
i think it looks stunning!
