AP vs VC
Hey Guys....So I've always had a soft spot for VC's and AP'sThe Overseas line has been calling me, particularly the two time zone, and I've always liked the ROO's (Dalip's recent thread on his Diver is what's inspiring my recent dilemma)So between the two...is there any reason why I would go for one rather than the other...and Yes I know they're two completely different animals. Call it a late new years Resolution, but I think I'll need to get either or by the end of 2012....just in case the world ends!

Vintage Jumbo Tresor
Hi All, I have more experience on the vintage Rolex side - and wanted to share my first vintage Omega From my research:Omega OT 2620, Rose Gold Tresor, circa 1949.The 265 manual wind movement has an 11.1 mil serial.Stunning on my wrist due to it's 38mm size. About 9 or 10 mm high.Dial has been nicely redone and due to a service approx 2 years ago - it winds very smooth and keeps excellent time.I am intrigued with these 38mm Omegas and want to learn more, maybe looking for another in stainless.Received from Clissold in a very nice transaction a few weeks ago.Thanks for looking!Russ
