BROWN strap for SPEEDY 9300?
I'm loving my new Speedy 9300 CoAxial (44.25 mm) on both the bracelet and black croc strap, but would very much like to add a cool brown strap to the collection.In my mind, one of the coolest things about this Speedy is the way the curved-end strap integrates into the case. At this time Omega does not make the same piece in brown. Do any of you know where I might be able to source such a piece?Thanks very much to TRF in advance for all of the continuing discussion and advice.

Cold feet on putting the money on a SS. Do it anyway?
Hey guys.Just a quick update from hunting for a 5711. This was quicker than I had expected, and I have found a good friend's cousin that is looking to sell his almost brand new (bought under 2 months ago) 5711 blue dial.He is asking a fair $24,000USD, which is the price he bought it for. I don't expect a deal on this piece.I was really looking hard to find it, and now that I have, for some reason I am having cold feet putting that amount on a SS watch.A friend told me that the watch doesn't look nearly worth how much I am paying for, and that made me re-assess.Am I going to regret not buying this one though?I must say I do love the watch; Just can't help but think I could be getting some precious metal or so for that amount. Or even adding two more SS watches.My only other watch is a Rolex Sub btw. I think the duo with the Patek should be perfect still and cover all bases.Suggestions?

Hi there, just wondered what sort of price an unworn random number 16610lv would go for these days?

Ooops I did it again... INCOMING!
I think maybe it is mid-life crisis or just the warmth and silky smooth allure of yellow gold that keeps on grabbing back the past few months. Gold is not a practical wear for me as a daily but man, I just crave it. Winter, snow, wine and yellow gold Rolex.. what can be better?I knew the 116618LB was a tad big for my smaller wrist from 2 years ago so it was a close call between the following:1. Paul Newman 116528 Champagne dial with black sub dials2. DD363. 16618 Sunburst blueWell, the decision was made and here she is. Man.. I am just over the moon with this piece. Thanks for reading and sharing my joy
