First Post + First Watch
I am 43 years old and I never wore watches. I decided to embark on a journey to seek out the perfect watch for me. I started with various watches and I ended up shortlisting it to two. The Rolex Daytona and the Omega Speedmaster Professional. I decided on the Omega for various reasons: NASA History, Classic Chronograph and I loved the presentation box. I passed on the Rolex because the cost was almost 3x and the availability was limited (long wait-list). The decision then was which version of the Speedmaster Professional to get. So I looked at both of them online in detail. Read all the reviews. I also went to an Omega Authorized Dealer to see both up close and personal. At 6'1 190 LBS and 6.75 wrist, I was concerned the watch would be slightly too big. After seeing them and trying them, by initial thought was true, the solid back with the hesalite crystal was the only choice for me.The last part was, where to buy it and how much should I spend. I narrowed it down to CH Je

Hey Guys, Anyone out there have an X33 canvas strap on a speed master pro? Both have 20mm lugs, but was curious how it fit around the watch head on the speedie pro.Thanks,E

Oh what a feeling...
I believe most of us would not deny that one of the best parts of our hobby/passion is the first days after receiving a watch that you have patiently waited for...sometimes weeks, months, or even years.Yesterday I had the pleasure of wearing my new 5167 for the first time...outstanding is the first word that comes to mind!! Thank you so much for all the wonderful information that is posted in this forum, it really helped me to decide to get back to the Aquanaut.But I digress....Two years ago I purchased my first Patek (5167 on bracelet) and to be honest I really never warmed up to the look on the bracelet. We all know what happens next, I traded this piece towards 2 Rolex models just 4 months later. Looking back that was a mistake as I should have just ordered a rubber strap & clasp. Fast forward to two months ago when my wife and I were spending a long weekend away from the kids. Of course I stopped into the Patek dealer that was in the city we escaped to and after trying on a 516

Twenty-4 Anniversary present
My wife never really got excited about a nice watch and made me take back a Rolex I bought for her once. We are on vacation and today is our 20th anniversary. I bought this for her without her seeing it and she absolutely loves it. We are going back to the AD tomorrow to get it sized and look for my present.

Old Daytona for new Hulk ?
I just got my new SS Daytona with white dial last week . Love it . Makes me wonder how much wear my older Daytona will get now . Been eyeing the Hulk . Normally wouldn't even entertain the idea of flipping a Daytona for a sub but since I have the new one I'm tempted . I already have the new sub and love it also . Sure could use opinions as to what you would all do . Keep and have 2 White dial Daytona's or let old one go for the Hulk ? Thanks ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
