Omega Speedmaster Mk II
I tried this new model on a few days ago. I currently have a Speedy Pro so I was very keen to try this one. Well, I could buy this particular one for about $ 4,300What I thought was nice:Everything about the dial, it is pefect for me.Bracelet is brushed and looks really great.The quality and finish is excellent.What I do not like:Thickness, its diameter to thickness ratio is not ideal and looks too fat.The date adjuster on the left side is not a deal breaker but why is it required on a watch like this?The styling of case, but I guess it is supposed to look like this.

Las Vegas surprise at last Minute / took my Pam 305

Well since it was my birthday this weekend, I told my family that we were all going to an early dinner, but first we had to go pick up my brother at the air port who was here on a lay-over.

Help evaluating my late grandfather's Rolex
Hey all, I am very new to the Rolex world. With so many variables that can alter the value of these beautiful watches, I am more than confused and turning to you guys for help. What I think I have is a 50's oyster perpetual. It has the bubble back, has Brevet 6305 1 engraved in it. What I believe to be rare is the fact that it has both justdate in red, and the date numbers are all red. I have attached pictures of the watch, as well as a few with the caseback removed thanks to my friendly local (but Rolex illiterate) jeweler. Any help you could give me [edited] is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
