Bam! Happy weekend to all the AP friends here!
It has been officially confirmed that the blue 15300 is a danger to driving and completely distracting. Different shades of lighting creates a different hue of blue on the dial and almost vintage like given the charcoal blue backdrop. Truly mesmerizing..

Omega archive extract... Not available in U.S.?
Went on Omega's website order one yesterday on a vintage piece I picked up, and got a message these were not currently available in the US. Anyone know what gives? Is this a recent change ?Sent a note to customer service, but I expect it may take a while to get a response.

Moving from Rolex to Omega
Hi all,I have owned a Submariner and a Sea-dweller now for almost a year. I love Rolexes for everything they are. But now I think it's time to try something different. I might get a Rolex later on.What do you think about this: .omegawatches/gents/se...21330424001001I really love the way it looks and would welcome the chronograph functions. Will it be a lot heavier than the original 16600 Sea-Dweller? Any comments on the quality of this watch when compared to the SD ?Thanks!-Rollieboy

Panerai Pam00448 vs. Pam00449 (UPDATED)
I have just bought my PAM 449 from takuya aka thanh do. Should receive it next week. Will post photos soon.Anyway, after doing some research i realize...PAM 448Is a gorgeous looking watch. Hardly anyone would argue on that. Gorgeous ...highly sort after dial with an in house movement. SE to 750 pcs. However, many are worried about the future value as there are already many cali dial were made before this, especially the PAM 249 being the original. Thus, some might still prefer the PAM 249 if/when the price of PAM 448 goes up to the same as PAM 249. Only + points that lure collectors towards PAM 448 are, lower SE number. 750 pcs comparing to PAM 249's 1936 pcs. In house movement of course, and thicker case thus more beefy looks. Bottom line is, there are still PAM 249 in its way.PAM 449 Besides the looks (either you love it or hate it), it is the 1st prototype of an SLC dial with blue hands. The only reason stopping you from buying this is probably again, the dial/looks of the watch. Ot
