incoming golden delight
had been looking out for this 15450BA for some time now, and lucky enough to find one at a price i couldn't say no to.couldn't be more thrilled.the feel of it on the wrist is simply WOW.i thought the 36mm president felt impressive...this is another level altogether.unfortunately, i will need to figure out which few pieces need to be moved out of the collection in order to keep this one around. will post some comparo shots later on.but had to put it on the wrist for immediate satisfaction.

Welcome 'Omega Glasgow Boutique'.
Still in a bit of shock I needed to have my bracelet adjusted today and headed down to see my AD in the Argyll Arcade, Buchanan St. Glasgow.There 'right at the entrance' was a new 'Omega Boutique' under construction - Prime position - Wow.That was the first shock.Second shock was when I went into my AD, Laing's Glasgow, to find out that they no longer carried the brand. Plenty of Rolex, Cartier, IWC, TAG etc but not an Omega on site.There are currently still two other Omega dealers in Glasgow, Watches of Switzerland and Mappin & Webb, but for how much longer? I looked in the window of WOS and it looked like something out of the dark ages. Boring, dull and out of date.Well done Omega Lets get this brand positioned where it should be in the market place and bring us into the exciting modern world that Omega deserves to be part of. Goodbye to boring WOS - Welcome 'Omega Glasgow Boutique'The new boutique build is in the early stages but I for one can't wait.Pictures later.

Decided to Give My SMP a New Look, Nato Strap!
I've been wanting to get the Omega Ridged Rubber Strap for my SMP for the last ten years or so since I got my SMP. But, I just couldn't justify spending that much on it.My SMP has been great to me and has been my primary watch for the past 10 years. It has a lot of memories and sentimental value. But, I've gone through two clasps on it and I wanted to freshen it up a bit. So, I noticed the trend of the Nato and Zulu straps on the forum and decided to give it a shot.Initially I had an eBay special $5 watch tool kit that included a spring bar removal tool, but the tool SUCKED. So, I spent some money and bought the Bergeon one and I had my Omega bracelet off in minutes.Here are a couple pics of the watch:I'm enjoying it. If you guys have any other suggestions on other cool Nato or Zulu straps, please let me know!

Rolex as Investments?
Just wondering if a seperate 'Topic Box' is required, solelyfor the discussion of Rolexes as commodities for investment?The subject, whilst mildly interesting, seems to be causing a little, perhaps, unnecessary friction.Perhaps we could let those that want to, sit in a seperate room and count their gold.
