Baselworld Preview: Glash��tte Original Pocket Watch No. 1

Omega Moonwatch question
Hello again, I am still in search for my next watch. I had been looking at the Ladies Speedmaster, because of its small size, I have a very small wrist. But another watch was recommended the Omega Moonwatch 39.7mm. Can anyone who has one give me their opinion of the watch. Also what are the advantages and disadvantages of a manual wind watch compared to an automatic? Will this watch require more frequent servicing? Will this watch need to be wound daily? I generally prefer bracelets, is a replacement bracelet for this watch expensive. Thank you for your assistance.Hoops10

MSRP in Canada
Hi Just wondering if someone could please tell me the MSRP of the Omega Speedmaster Date Mens Watch 3210.50 in Canada?At first I was looking at a Rolex Air King for my wife as a gift. After some searching I love how the 40mm watches look on women. I came across this wrist watch, does anyone feel its too large for women?Thanks a million.

The 116595RBOW
Gentlemen and ladies,I am thinking about this model very much. So much in fact I am considering taking out a HELOC at 3% to purchase one. As the old model was selling for 1.5x the msrp of nearly $100,000 this is surely a good bargain at $96,000. Plus it is a great investment that will surely double in no time. What do you think?P.S. I will keep the stickers on.
