Wimpy strap on MOTM
I am the only one that thinks that the leather straps that are available for the MOTM 20mm tapered to 18mm are borderline feminine?I love the watch, cant stand the strap width, and it's crazy how much 2mm changes the appearance of the straps

1986 or 1987 Omega Speedmaster
This particular Omega is hard to find from what I understand. The information I have aquired has led me to believe it is from 1987 or 1986. It has a gold or champagne face with black bezel. I am not sure if is is a solid gold housing or just plated. 1140DAST 175 003250978101The band has been replaced with a 3rd party leather band. The original band was it shredded. I am looking for any useful information about this model type.. history of he line would be nice, also would this be considered a collectors item?

What is with polishing?
I am fairly new to the luxury watch market. I see that some people write about watches being polished , and that is looked down upon. Does this mean watches are simply Brillo padded to remove scratches or does this mean literally polishing with a bidding wheel to attempt to remove scratches and swirls? I am referencing tool watches like vintage GMT's and Subs. I don't really understand what the big deal is about polishing watches and why it is a negative.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

LV-C Vs SD-C
Alright help me out here please. I never asked something like that here because I usually make up my own mind but this time is a bit different. I need to aim at something for the (near?) future and the options I can see are the LV-C and the SD-C, specially because glidelock + longer clasp is something very important to me.I already have two ceramic Submariners so If I get the LV-C I would have 3 Subs, and if I get the SD-C I would have 3 black divers that look the same. I know both choices are reduntant and Im fine with that. There are pros and cons on both. About the cons, the LV-C is perhaps too much green, and the SD-C is way too expensive but if I wait patiently I believe I'll be able to get one for something around 9.5K in the future.The 5 digit Subs would be a great choice but removing a permanent link is out of question for me.The third option would be forget about that and use the money for something else, but that option is the most difficult one to accept.Thanks everyone.
