First Nice Watch
So I joined the forum a few months ago to educate myself on Rolex's. I have always wanted a submariner and had my heart set on a no date 14060M. I prefer the vintage style and size of earlier watches and didn't want anything flashy. Eventually after looking around I just didn't feel confident enough to buy a used Rolex either online or private party. I had a local dealer quote me a price on a used one which was basically new msrp.Dismayed I began looking for alternatives. That's when I found the Omega 60th anniversary collection and specifically the Seamaster. I know some find this to be fake vintage, but this watch had everything I was looking for. It's the right size, clean lines and dial and will be a perfect one watch for daily wear.The watch arrived today and am extremely excited. I don't think I would have had the same feeling with a used Rolex.Pictures to follow when it's light out and bracelet is sized.

Another "His n Hers"
I'd bought her watch maybe less than a year ago, mine arrived sometime last month. Great to have a partner who shares my love for watches!Her watch is a quartz, both me and the AD went blue in the face extolling the virtues of mechanical timekeeping; cut no ice whatsoever.Being older and maybe a little wiser, I staged a strategic retreat, the AD battled on; poor fellow still bears some scars from that debate!

D-Blue available at my AD
Should I pick it up? I know it's a bit big, but these things are pretty rare and hard to get from ADs it seems these days.Price would be $14,200 CAD all-in, or about $11,200 USD. Seems like a no-lose proposition!
