Omega seamster vs sub
I have to say I did love my no date sub before flipping for a Daytona . But this omega I have enjoyed more than I did the sub.

Thinning out the collection
Say I have the following in my collection:5990, 5205g, ROO Navy, ROO Elephant, 1680 red mkIV, 16610LN, PAM 320.I want to cut two. Which ones?(probably to make room for either 5712 or RM055, but not within 5 years)

Possible Explorer II Price Increase
Just an FYI from a conversation I had so take it for what it's worth. Was at an AD with my BLNR and SubC this morning and chatted with the watchmaker for an hour. Well into our conversation about watches, safes, insurance, etc he mentioned he was made aware by Rolex that the Explorer II's will be getting a significant price increase soon. Possibly as early as Feb. Mind you that I was in an AD so it may have just been bait on a hook, but he was WELL aware from our conversation that I won't be purchasing another sport piece anytime soon and my next piece will be a Cellini. I think if he had just been throwing around bs to get me to walk out of there with another Rolex, he would have substituted Explorer II with Cellini because I tried on 4 different variations of it. Again, take it for what it's worth.

White Christmas!
A very Merry ChristmasAnd a happy New YearLet's hope it's a white oneWithout any fear....exp II IMG_0210.jpg
