visited NY boutique today
have been eyeing the 15450 in YG for some time now.thought it'd be too small at 37mm, relative to the jumbo.but dammit if it doesn't wear oh so nicely.have a day-date president in YG (36mm), and the 15450 feels so much more substantial on wrist. having the DD has gotten me accustomed to enjoying sub-39mm sizes.but the heft and case lugs make the 15450 wear larger than 37.unsure if having 2 YG full bracelet watches is just too much.the DD is a perennial classic, understated and gentlemanly.whilst the 15450 is pure stunning... but the size allows it to be such without having to scream outloud for attention... which, IMO, might be the case if 40mm (given my wrist isn't particularly large at 7).as nice as the OR with grey dial is, the YG with blue is the clear winner for me.

Bond Seamaster - New vs. Old
Hello guys,I don't know how many Omega fans there are here, but I think they've got some excellent watches.Of course, I first saw the Bond Seamaster in a Bond Movie (The World Is Not Enough I believe) and I absolutely loved it! I said to myself: I'll get that one some day. I got a little scared when I saw how much money it would cost me though.Anyway, I now own the Bond Seamaster, but the newer model (quartz version, 2221.80 - go easy on me) and I absolutely love it. When I was at the AD to buy it, I had to choose between the old chronometer and the new quartz. It was pretty difficult. For practical reasons I went for the quartz. I held the watches side by side and noticed they looked pretty different from each other. On the newer model, there are applied markers, you've got the red Seamaster on the dial, there's different case back engraving (like the PO), the waves on the dial look a little different, the hands are slightly longer, the dot on the bezel-triangle is I think somewhat la

To Flip or not to Flip!?! That is the Question!
I am having the serious itch to flip....and it's been going on for awhile.....but i need your help and expertise to weigh out all the pros and cons, as I have never flipped any of my watches ever.I have a 116610LN (SUB-SS/C)...and the watch that has caught my eye is a Panerai 389. Both are about the same age, in virtually the same condition....the offer I have on hand is the Panerai 389 for the SS/SubC + 700 dollars from my end. I'm wondering if this is a good and a fair deal? I feel like my judgement might be clouded by the itch to flip. My thoughts are that the PAM 389 will hold it's value a lot less over the long run, a sub is always a classic, however, I have the 116713LN, 116613LB and the 116520 and will hopefully be getting the 116550 (new daytona)...so I am a bit Rolex heavy. Additionally I also have a Chopard GMT Mille Miglia and the Chopard LUC Sport 2000, I dont want to flip any of the Chopards. Absolutely adore them.I love the ceramic bezel on the PAM 389, it's also a dive w
