Bentley GMT Midnight Limited Edition: Question
Local AD has what he has described as the above watch, however it has black diamonds on the lugs and is supposedly limited to 50 units. The only thing I can find that at all describes the watch is from a Mercedes forum which they describe as a Breitling for Bentley GMT Midnight Screamer which is limited to 500 units, and on a Breitling forum with a cropped picture from the Merc site saying its 50 units and only 10 for the US. Went to another ad and went through the Chronolog and price list and they can't find anything on this watch. Any ideas?? Is this something super rare or is it just something jazzed up by the AD?

I am thinking of a omega seamaster professional
I saw a seamaster professional auto chronometer today for $1900. Has anyone had problems with this watch, and what is the difference between an eta movement and the movement in the omega. Any advice is welcomed.Thanks in advance.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk

First Omega in Space - finally
Back in 2006, I was able to obtain a set of original NOS CK 2998 hands and a friend gave me a cal 861 movement. The plan was to assemble my second project watch which was to be a commemorative of Wally Schirra's Mercury-Atlas 8 flight.I even designed a special case back but unlike the Omega design (which isn't that bad), I used the flight patch logo of Sigma 7 in the center with this wording around the edge: THE FIRST - SPEEDMASTER - IN SPACE - SCHIRRA - MERCURY-ATLAS 8 - OCT. 3, 1962.Here is a photo of the first attempt to fabricate the back:Circumstances precluded completion of my project but I am more than pleased with Omega's upcoming release. I have already placed my order.Fr. John?

Poll: New acquisition input
First, I'd just like to say this: The new TRF Patek forum has the same impact as the Rolex discussion forums. Serious case of what I call Watch Acquisition Syndrome (WAS). We all need help and this is the most dysfunctional group therapy session ever. Anyway, I want to get some input on my next PP purchase.I'm looking at the following:* 5140P or J: I fear it is too close in appearance to my 5146P, which I absolutely love and am unlikely to get rid of (among the reasons is the beautiful dial finish/color, unique to that model). But I love the watch for its functionality.* 5960P (gray dial): A modern PP icon. Beautiful. Some people say, Well the chronograph function is useless to most. Get a Patek 5205. No. I don't care. I'll use it to time eggs or something.Champagne problems for sure. Options I've discarded:* 5270G: Amazing watch. Totally different price point. Would be difficult to justify to my fiance and to a certain extent, myself. I'm relatively young (32), and something tells me
