Omega Speedmaster Broad Arrow Co-Axial Watch For 2010
Omega's game of cat and mouse with the present and past continues. The last several sport watches they released seem to have at least one leg (from a design perspective) in the past. This new Speedmaster Broad Arrow Co-Axial watch isn't that much different. It is like a modern man in a vintage Armani suit that still looks pretty good today. The Broad Arrow Speedmaster watch has been around for a long time. The point of the name? Well compared to your standard Omega Speedmaster Professional watch the Broad Arrow has.well, it has a broad minute hand and an arrow hour hand. And to think that Broad Arrow just sounded like a cool name for a Speedmaster.Aside from this new for 2010 look, the "Speedmaster Broad Arrow" name doesn't get any embellishment. The case size is a generous 44.25mm wide in steel (likely to be gold version as some point) and uses the same case shape that Omega has been using for these watches forever. I like how even in a large size, the case shape still looks quite nic

Breaking stem and water resistance issues only for 5402 and cal. 2121?
So I have been looking at some of the 36mm ROs, and wanted to inquire further into whether AP had similar issues with the crown breaking off with models outside of the 5402, I also read in the sticky above that AP cannot certify water resistance in the 5402 following service, does this only apply to the 5402 or other models as well?For servicing out of warranty APs, can you tell AP to do movement only services like you can with the RSC, like tell them to leave the bezel, dial, etc alone and just service the movement and restore water resistance?I haven't had a chance to put a 36mm RO on my wrist yet but I have a 6.4 wrist so I'm thinking it would be better suited to me in diameter and thickness than a ROO. Also as I am looking for something to where for the most part with button downs and sport coats, it won't cause as much issue with cuffs but would like to have something that I have to worry over on a rainy day, remove while washing my hands or suffer a broken stem every other year f

Bigger Patek...
Today, I swapped out a link on my 5711/1A for a 1.5 link. With the warmer weather, I find that my wrist swells and I need half a link. Conversely in the fall I have to swap out smaller again. The 1.5 link makes the watch very comfy if a little goofy looking.I also flipped the clasp around as it's easier to put on. Anyone else need to make summer adjustments?

Thinking of getting back into Panerai.....opinions please?
Had a few in the past and thinking about a return to Panerai. Not a big fan of the date on Panerai models but not a deal breaker either. Ideally a 42mm model will fit me best but I can handle 44mm......my wrist size is 6.75. These are the models I have been looking at....392, 512, 560, 590.....thoughts/likes/dislikes on those? Any other models that I should be looking at from the Panaristi crowd here? Thanks in advance for your consideration and suggestions.Steve
