Going back and forth
I'm leaning towards making my first AP purchase and thought I was ready to pull the trigger on a white dial AP ROC, but then I saw this and loved it, but can't find a model number of any info on AP website. Would appreciate any help I could get from you guys on model information. Thanks!

Thoughts on the new Bond Semaster 300 Master Co-Axial
Looks like a pretty amazing piece - great movement with some cool nods to the past like the lollipop second hand, and gotta say, when I first saw the 12 hour graduated bezel, was not sure - but its like a pseudo GMT watch minus the extra hand with the bi-direction bezel. Also, love the NATO - while I think Omega NATO's are overpriced, they are much nicer than the $15 dollar ones on the net - which I still use and love.And, first time the exact watch by Omega worn on screen will be sold to the public - I think this is a winner.

Omega Speedmaster Question
I sent my watch out to the Omega repair facility in Secaucus,NJ. I was quoted a price of $ 2000 for a complete resoration. The band was $700 plus by itself.Is anyone aware of anyone who has the capacity to repair and restore other than a Omega facility?? Or should I just buy a new one??They stated they would be replacing the following: 1 The luminous material on the hands is flaking 2 The hands are damaged 3 Movement shows sins of water damage 4 One or more of the pushers are damaged and detached 5 One or more of the perminate links in the bracelet are missing. and must be replaced 6 Clasp is damaged 7 Movement is rusted

Hey guys, Just wanted to share my favorite 24/24 strap with you .. Made out of British Tan leather by the loose cannon of the strap world .. Shane Delaurian. It actually takes a little bit of convincing to get him to make a not-so-unusual strap and he did agree to make me one for my now-departed 243 late last year. I, unfortunately, sold my 243 just after this one arrived and it has since waited to for an appropriate match. The wait ended tonight ... I recently sold all my 24/24 straps and this is only one that survived. Quite Deservingly so IMHO.The texture on this strap is the very best I have ever laid my eyes one. The thickness is just right and the finishing on the edges and holes is something I have not seen before. The underside of the strap is lined by some fine leather as well [dont know which kind .. pics attached] and to make the strap unique in a Delaurian way, the keepers are integrated. After strapping on this strap on the new-to-me Ennebi, I realized that I do really nee
