New leather strap on electric blue
New leather strap looks mighty fine. Purchased from Watchgeko. This strap along with a couple others made it to my US address within a week. That was some fast international shipping which was free. Hope my pictures show up note sure if i did that correct. I cannot post a link because of my thread count. The strap is listed as SIMPLE HANDMADE ITALIAN LEATHER STRAP on the watchgeko site.

The Planet Ocean GTM GoodPlanet is in (but not incoming)
I really like Omega's affiliation with GoodPlanet so I was pretty happy when I got the call that the new Planet Ocean GMT was in. I currently don't have a GMT in the line-up so I had high expectations on this watch, specially after seeing Ruckdee's excellent photos and review.The PO-GMT GP package is beautiful with a big bamboo box. My first impressions was: wow, this is a solid piece. 43.5mm and more than 17mm thick (probably 17.25 or 17.5) and it is heavy. I don't have the exact weight but at least 200 grams, which puts it exactly in the same class as the Rolex Deepsea.

New special addition Omega watch for Vancouver olympics

Crooked cyclops?
Hi all,New to the Rolex community so please bear with me...Just bought a brand new BLNR from an AD a few days ago. Very happy to get my hands on one and AD let me know I was lucky. That being said, I've started to notice that my cyclops is slightly crooked. Am I seeing things? What do you think?As it's hard to find a BLNR in Canada these days, the AD didn't have another one to swap for me, but they said I could send have them send it to RSC. This is my first Rolex with a cyclops, so I'm not sure if this is just the quality I should be expecting. What would you do? Thanks!
