Some sales people get it, some don't
I had the opportunity to establish a nice relationship with a sales associate at an Omega Boutique. He really knew his Omega stuff and I could tell he was a true WIS through our conversation. Based solely on his professionalism and politeness, I decided to purchase a few buckles and a new strap and pay full MSRP instead of going through my normal online discounted sources. I even told him so and he was appreciative since, as a WIS, he knows that there are plenty of places to buy watch goods online. My items arrived April 1st and I stopped by April 2nd to pick them up. I asked the gentleman I had been working with if I could just buy some of them and hold the strap for my wife to pick up as she mentioned it would be a gift. He was more than accommodating and I told him she would be in during the month sometime. He said not to worry and he would be happy to hold it for her as long as needed. We left it at that I left feeling like a valued customer. He sent a follow up email thanking me

Omega po chrono or po non chrono...?
Looking to buy 1st omega watch, usually rolex. I'm drawn to the planet ocean as the watch looks great both chrono and non chrono. Couple of questions:1.Have read that problems have been reported with both chrono and non chrono, in particular the chrono version? Have these problems been addressed over time or do they still occur...?2.I know the updated version of both these watches are due in the uk around September I'm told? Are the new versions worth wait for those that saw them at Basel 2011...?

Some things that bother me about the nautilus
I adore the nautilus. I have never owned one but I am thinking about it. First thing that bothers me about the watch is the shape of the dial. IMO its not perfect. If you look at the 10-11 hour indices the dial, case and crystal is slightly angular. Same thing for the other three corners. Now, this appears to be a consious decision but I just dont understand why. Would it not be better if there was no angles and it was a smooth curve? What do you think?Second thing is the clasp of the bracelet. It seems to be a bit thin and looks like it would open while wearing. I am not saying the whole bracelet will open but that little flap with the calatrava. IMO if it opens even once in a week thats too much. Did you have any problems with the clasp?

What would you choose, PP5711/1R vs AP15202RG?
Hi,In light of the upcoming PP5711/1R, I believe the worthy opponent would be its jumbo counterpart in rose gold. Your thoughts? I wish I could capture 15202RG dial under wrap better..

A laugh today...
I was talking with a colleague at work and complimented him on a bright new rubber strap on his smart watch (cause most wrists are naked). He complained that it cost him a hundred bucks because the original broke. I said, Well that's less than this one! and flashed my BLNR. He replied, You should have seen my ex-girlfriend's watch. Her family are jewelers and she has a seven THOUSAND dollar ROLEX! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
