Citizen Sportissimo Watches Jazz Up The Promaster Line
Sometimes you just need to spruce up a classic, and you have a winner. A Citizen Promaster was actually my first analog watch. It was uniquely designed and out of all my watches, got me the highest number of compliments with its bright red dial colors. These new Sportissimo Promaster watches from Citizen remind me of the first Citizen Promaster that that I owned. Both were chronographs and features a really cool and appealing styling. This is perfect for someone wanting something different, or a young adult or college student. The idea is that not all of the styling is functional per se, but the avant garde looks don't inhibit the functionality at all.The cases of the Citizen Sportissimo watches are an amble 43mm wide. It is big, but not too big. The cases are 12mm thick which is pretty manageable. I like that the crystal is sapphire, which is better than the mineral crystal used on some lower end Citizen watches. You have water resistance of 100 meters, which means the watches are rug

RO 15450-white or grey dial? Discounts?
I went watch shopping yesterday and was able to try on some ROs' for the first time. My impression was that the 15400 was too large but the 15450 felt 'right'.Having got over my initial reservations regarding wearability, i need to decide between the white and grey dials. I thought the white dial is nice (and more traditional) but the grey seemed to pop out a little bit more. Going thru this forum, most mentions of the 15450 is in white dial with few of the greys. Is this a new option that was introduced recently?If you have the option, would you choose the white or grey dial?In terms of pricing, one AD (white dial) offered 10% whilst the other (listed multi-national) initially said pricing on SS sports models are firm. After some gentle persuasion, 5% was offered. For a SS 15450, what level of discounts can be expected/can I (reasonably) push for?Going to visit them again today. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Has anyone seen this Omega at any AD lately?
I may be in the market for the 2012 London Olympic LE Aqua Terra Chrono and was curious if these are still floating around in any Omega ADs. If anyone has seen one, please let me know.Thanks,Randy

Patek Geneva
A few of us from this forum are off to Geneva next week for 5 days at Patek. 15 North American collectors were invited by Patek, Henry Stern Agency, and the best damn AD in the US to do this trip. We were very blessed and fortunate to be among the 15. We will do our best to document everything we are allowed to. VC is going to give me some do’s and don'ts over the weekend. Frem is also going to give me tutoring on how to photo document a trip. In no way should anyone think we will live up to Frem, but we will do our best. I have been looking forward to this for a long time. It is a bit of a pilgrimage for me.

Crazy Japan Daytona prices
Andy Chan on Instagram posted this from a trip in Japan last month. I know Japan has a fondness for the Daytona models but this is really crazy.Is this a hint of what's to come in the near future if Rolex doesn't release inventory to the ADs?
