ROO - Should I
Guys, what are the collectives thoughts on the Offshore black with red stitching? I had a Safari, liked it but somehow wore it very little. Then I had a chance to trade it out for a piece I couldn't do without and was able to receive more for it than I ever thought I would. So I moved it. I have a FC 44 and a 15400, 6 rolexes, 4 Pateks and a Lange. So I am not trying to fill any holes.I just think the black with white and red is a good combo. What is the best color combo on the 42mm Offshore?

question about Omega Olympic watch
Hi allI'm new here, an have a question about the Omega Olympic watches.(wasn't able to find an answer through the searches)I've been interested in getting the Omega Men's Speedmaster Olympic Edition Automatic Chronograph Watch #3516.20.00 Saw it advertised durign the Beijing Olympics but noticed the back does not have the Beijing logo(photo borrowed from el-piloto, sorry wasn't able to find a good one elsewhere)Did any of the Omega's come with the face of the #3516.20.00 and the Beijing logo back?The only ones I've found on the Ogema site with the Beijing logo and steel case only have a black face :(

315 & 324 Movement
Most of us are aware of the issue with the sticking date on the 324 movement.I have had the privilege of wearing several different Patek timepieces fitted with the 324 movement and never had an issue with the date.I now find myself happily and fortunate in a position to buy a Calatrava 5127.The two pieces that I have been looking at are from different years. One is fitted with the older 315 workhorse and the other with the newer (current) 324 workhorse.Given the chance, which movement would you prefer?Is a slower beat better than a faster one?Is a more smoothly moving second hand better than a slightly more jerky one?Please help me with your thoughts and experiences of each movement.

Just finalized my first PP purchase. I should have a new 5726 by Wednesday morning. I'll post some pictures when I get it. I appreciate all of your enabling pictures. I don't know how this ends, but perhaps it will slow down a bit.
