Any problems with the 2534.50 GMT?
Love the look of this watch and was thinking of picking one up.Are there mechanical issues to be wary of? Any insights appreciated. Thanks.

My 6 year old's got the bug...
Well he's almost seven but he's got the watch bug early. He's been bugging my wife for 4 months straight about the Dark Side of the Moon. I finally took him down to the boutique to see it in person. He's convincing me to buy it so I can pass it on to him later on. I keep telling him next year, next year boy. I'm going to have just as hard as a time waiting as he is.

Take a dip in the Planet Ocean with me!
OK ladies and gents,Picked up my Planet Ocean XL Black on Black (orange is not my thing) yesterday from my mail service just over the US border, paid my $5 fee and wore it back over in to Canada with no hassles (this is the 7th watch I have picked up like this) if any of my fellow canuck TFRers want the address for the place just PM me. Bought it from a great guy on Timezone who took very good care of it (I believe him when he says he only wore it a few times)What an excellent watch! Big, solid and tough as nails! The applied markers and Omega logo are just stunning! The crystal has anti-reflective coating and the face has the perfect pitch black colour to allow the broad arrow style hands to be seen in any lighting conditions. This watch glows like a lighthouse at night and it lasts a L-O-N-G time! It fits very comfortably on my wrist and the weight is well distributed. I can't say enough about how comfortable the Seamaster style clasps are and as sturdy as any more expensive brands.

I think my AD is asking a bit much. Grateful for your thoughts.
I'm purchasing a new Submariner 114060 from my local AD (the only AD in town). She has a wait-list for reference 116610, but not for reference 114060. She asked me to pay in full, after which she would place the order, and then we would wait some undefined period of time for the watch to arrive.I thanked her and said I would be in touch in a few days, once funds are shifted into place.My sense is the pay in full, then place the order, then wait for a watch routine is not business-as-usual at most Rolex ADs. I don't expect her to obtain a watch for me without a deposit, but I don't intend to comply with the terms she offered; while I would like to keep my business local, there are watches I can buy and have shipped to me immediately.I feel like I should offer some reasonable deposit, and that I should ask her to provide an estimated delivery date (realizing the challenges she faces as a dealer).I'll be grateful if members will share typical arrangements ADs make in this context.Thank
