Omega Speedie Pro bracelet question.
Hi all.I am a lover of fine watches and of course that includes Rolex and Omega.I want to ask the advice of this forum.I have a late 80s-early 90s 861 speedie pro and the question involves the bracelet. Do you think the 1171 bracelet is nicer than the current bracelet?I bought my Speedie from a vintage watch dealer - used - and it came with the newer style bracelet. Whilst I love the newer bracelet - it did not feel 100% right.I then bought a 1171 bracelet off ebay - very fairly priced at around 150-The speedie now has the vintage feel back - sorry if that not make sense.My question is. do other people agree with me on the 1171 bracelet being nicer than the new style.

It's never too late
Coming from Rolex ,I'm glad I opened my eyes and bought a Panerai. Such a beautiful watch. I'm enjoying reading the history and stories about the watch. I'm hoping to learn more about the brand from you guys. Thank you in advance.Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

GMT BLRO 116719 Pepsi
Last month I purchased the Tag Heuer Aquaracer Pepsi GMT, an obvious homage tot he Rolex GMT. Of course, I am now considering getting a Rolex GMT with the Pepsi bezel (116719BLRO). For those on here who own one, what are your thoughts on this watch?002 by [url=https://.flickr/photos/150333170N07/]

Rolex Explorer II Dial Re-Lume
I have a friend who has a friend who bought a 1990s Explorer 2. My friend's friend wants to re-lume the dial and hands because they don't glow.I told him that is a bad idea from what I have read, but I guess his buddy insists that it needs to be re-lumed.Can a recommendation and advice be provided? The dial markers are in cups.I am of the opinion that it will de-value the watch, but it sounds like it is more important to my buddy's buddy that it glows brightly. Maybe he is a spelunker or something? Maybe he really needs to be able to discern am/pm by looking at his watch in complete darkness? With modern flashlights and stuff, not sure why he is so insistent, but that is what this guy wants.I am kind of hoping that people will tell me that it is a bad idea to re-lume a pretty modern Rolex because there will come a point when a 90s Explorer II is 60 years old and it will be a re-lumed 60 year old vintage Rolex.Or maybe it doesn't matter so much on a watch this new? I'd love to get
