Am I the only one who cannot understand...
Omega?Let me explain...this coincides with numerous posts about the thickness and comfort of the PO.I have a 42mm PO 8500 and have very strong feelings about it.First....it is way too thick. It does not have any satisfactory adjustment for the band and angers me almost every day.It is stunning to look at and the movement is awesome. But I cannot make it fit properly and comfortably.Taking it on and off constantly and/or not wearing it because of this is maddening. In fact I have barely worn it over the year I've owned it because of this.So what do I do? The Rolex Sub C or Datejust ii fit beautifully. However, the PO has essentially become a joke in terms of resale. It appears the only realistic option without opening the wallet and take a huge loss is to buy a 20 year old Explorer II. Omega is so close to catching Rolex in terms of movements and design....but without comfor what do you have?Just my 2 cents.

First Patek Incoming
Finally my first Patek incoming. Was originally thinking about getting a Nautilus but tried one on at a local AD they are just too large for my tiny 6 inch wrist. Turned out really well though as I saw this 5146g on TRF. Worked the deal out with Takuya really smooth trade and received it today. The cream dial looks even better in person than the pictures. What to get next?

Panerai Open 6 & 9
2 of the main reasons I cant stop looking at the dial of my 673...

First time Panerai - strap advice
Spent a couple of months searching for the perfect watch for summer. Out on the boat and by the beach most weekends so was searching for a rubber strap watch which looked good and was nice and solid so I wasn't too precious about it.Panerai caught my eye! Then I saw this beauty with no complications which I wanted so I can just chuck it on, set the time and go.Problem is I didn't think it looked that great on the rubber, so now it's on the leather and looks awesome. But how well will the leather stand up to getting wet? Are there any rubberised composite leather type straps available for this watch? Would consider using one of those to get the functionality whilst keeping this look.Thanks for any advice and I will carry on enjoying the watch!

True Eternal Rolex Watches
Most Rolexes are just beautiful, but some are in the must have category, and legends that be or will be. I am biased towards GMT��s, so I would say that the 5 digit Coke��s and Pepsi��s definitely fit into eternal designs. These watches command their prices simply because it is a no nonsense must have watch to wear proudly. It looks as if the Batman will also participate into one of those eternal designs. The classic submariner also goes in there. I don��t believe there is any flipping of these watches but do believe in newer watches flipping.So, there are other watches new in the scene, which shall one day in the distant future earn that title belonging to the few right now. What will those watches be ?
