Omega Service etching
Rolex etches an S in the saphire crown after a service. Do the folks who service Omegas mark the watch anywhere after servicing?

please share your top 3 most beautiful Patek watches ever made
On Ken's last post I replied that the 5970 is imo one of the most beautiful watches Patek ever made.So it made me curious , I wanted to know other people's TOP 3 listSo please think about it, more than once and to give you a hint �� don't just name the 3 most complicated you know.The most beautiful is imo seldom the most complicated. I had the sky moon tourbillon a few hours in my hands and I appreciated the technical work of art but I will never say it was a beauty. Nor am I a fan of repeaters or tourbillons.From a purely esthetic view a simple repeater looks like simple Calatrava. And a Calatrava is a nice watch but imo not for the TOP 3 ever :-)And those super complications with multiple functions are imo most of the time too busy.As you see, my choice does not have vintage pieces. The reason is simple.For me they are way too small. Yes I like a 1518 and yes I like a 3970 but a 35 or 36 mm watch is just not for me. And yes I like some vintage chrono's like a 530 but once again

Pam00187
Here's a few of questions for all you Subzilla experts out there. Is the PAM00187 Chrono 1000 the ONLY stainless steel 47mm submersible... and if so, why hasn't Panerai made another?? It seems that all the 47mm Subzillas and Slytech Subs are all made of Titanium. Could it be a weight concern, since it is a large watch? Personally, I like the heavy case of my Chrono 1000... and strangely enough, I don't really feel the weight when I wear it. Why does the PAM00187 have an external screw down date changer versus the normal winding crown position? I like this unusual feature as it is... quite out of the norm. Does, or did Panerai ever make a stainless, or stainless/titanium bracelet (the older crown guard type model... not the current straight link design) for a 47mm case / 26mm lugs?? If Panerai doesn't... they should. Would you know of a GOOD aftermarket version?Thanks!!B i l l

Daytona Opinion Wanted
Not sure about mixing diamonds, rubber and Daytona but I think I like it. Your thoughts please? Is it a sports watch with bling? Runs contrary to my normal tastes but I keep coming back to it. Stop the madness.

Don't Buy A Gold Sub (like the 116619)!!!
Started out as a perfectly happy owner of a Sub-C.Watch for everything. Gym, or riding dirt bikes in random Asian jungles, paragliding in Nepal, 4AM in seedy strip clubs in Bangkok, afterparties in Budapest. Normal life and all. You name it, a plain black steel sub blends right in. Nobody notices. And you're not going to break it. (and if you do, so what ... laser welding & parts available for everything quite easily)But then one starts thinking (bad move as usual). What about something just a little ... nicer? More unique? A little more ... pop?Read up on options that would suit the lifestyle. Ruling out anything without crown guards, basically. GMT would be nice, lot of time zone changes. Or Sub just because. Poked the head in the door at various dealer in Hong Kong. BLRO eliminated, the black dial just didn't really do it in person. The rose gold Daytona though, chocolate dial. Wow. But that's a little too fancy for border crossings in Burma. Or anywhere.Then s
