Omega SMP and the beach...

My baby is back!
My baby (5085/1A) hasnt had much wrist time since I bought it close to over a year now and did not notice that it was running 13 seconds fast daily until recently as I have been wearing the watch every day for 3 weeks. I gave it to a well known Authorized Rolex repair guru who is also PP trained for a tune up and now its running 2 seconds fast! The watch otherwise is in perfect condition as it was serviced before I bought it.I am a happy chap!!! It will be back on my wrist tomorrow night.

Planning to get a new Rolex
Hello Everyone!I am planning to get my first Rolex GMT II, but confuse which model to get. I want to wear it everyday, so not too fancy one.

I also like GMT two tone (Black/Gold), but is it suitable to wear eveyday?? Also, new Pepsi GMT looks great but I think Jubilee doesnt go well with everyday casual outfit, what you guys think ?Thanks in advance,Nali
