MeisterSinger Benjamin Franklin Watch
Ol' Ben Franklin has been having a big month. Not only has the founding father been revealed as secondary mascot of the Philadelphia 76ers basketball team, MeisterSinger have released a watch honoring his life. It may seem strange to US citizens that a German brand would create a watch in homage to a famous American, but Benjamin Franklin is highly thought of in Europe as well as in his native New World.

Speedy for graduate
My son is graduating this May and we would like to reward him for his hard work with a speedy. Not sure which would be a good first quality watch for a 21 year old computer engineer.

Broad Arrow
Can someone explain where the Broad Arrows fit in the Omega collection? I follow Omega but only own a Speedy Pro. I don't quite understand what the BA's were originally and in more current editions.I've got the same question about the Schumachers, too. Are they using the same movement (the original models) as the Speedy auto's or is there a difference? Thanks.

Quick question... Rolex as gift
Hey folks,First time posting in the Rolex section so forgive me for any noob questions. I'm looking to buy three rolexes for my brothers and I as a gift. It'll be either the GMT- Master II or Submariner Date (all in steel - although I might get the steel/yellow gold for myself). A few questions:Are these usually sold at discount? If so, how much of a discount?If answer to #1 is no, if I buy three, is there a discount?If you were me, would you pre-pick the model and color or let them pick?Here are the ones I would choose from (or let them choose)Rolex by E L, on FlickrThanks for your inputEdwin
