Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Co-Axial Chronograph "Teak Concept Dial" Watches
I recently mentioned the brother of this watch which has a 24-hour hand. That was the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Co-Axial GMT Chronograph watch. Take out the "GMT" and you have this model. Of which, there are actually going to be only a few. There will be the pictured two-tone model in steel and rose gold, a white gold model, an all steel model, and a all rose gold model. This is arguably a more marketable model than the GMT given the more conservative and "Omega" looks of this watch. The GMT had a controversial bezel, while the smooth polished bezel of this Aqua Terra Chronograph is more sober and simple looking. Actually, Omega might have made the right choice to give it a smooth dial against the vertical texturing of the "Teak Concept" dial.Aside from the lack of GMT and bezel, the watch case is mostly the same, if not identical to the GMT model.

Buying a used PP from AD but without papers?
Lately the Nautilus has been on my mind. I've owned many great brands over the years but never Patek. The other day I stopped by a local rolex/ patek AD and they had a 2010 5711 in blue in the pre-owned section. The price was as good as I've seen it anywhere. However the watch only came with the box, no papers. The salesman tried to convince me that not having papers was fine but having owned and later sold many watches, I don't agree. What do you think? Would you take a good deal on the 5711 from a Patek AD if there wasn't any papers? How important are those papers when getting the watch serviced or even selling the watch later?

Looked to me he was wearing a 5167 on The Golden Globes. Anyone catch that?

Awful PASC Experience - just got my 237 Back
So, I sent my PAM 237 in to Richemont PASC for a diag/service/polish. It was the beginning of this month. I just received it back tonight and was so excited I open up the box and the cool case they send it back in. It looks so shiny and new and perfectly polished. I am excited I flip it over to the back, aww yeah polished good..... WTF... WTF IS THAT. :bang head:Seriously? It looks like somehow they missed a huge portion of gasket sticking out of the case back? I mean, for real? What is my recourse here? Am I just expected to send it back in and take it on the chin? Should I complain to PASC?Should I demand a free watch for this incompetence (joke) but seriously?
