Omega Speedmaster '57 'Retro Dial' Watch For 2015
It happened only two years ago, at Baselworld 2013, that Omega lunched the Omega Speedmaster '57 Co-Axial, a tribute to the original, pre-Moon-Watch Speedmaster. Now, for 2015, we see a slightly updated version that brings the Omega Speedmaster '57 tribute closer than it has ever been to the Daddy of all Speedmasters. Without further ado, let's see?just how close you can really get in the new millennium to owning the real deal from the mid 20th century.The answer, in short, is: very. We covered the 2013 "re-release" here, and while that appeared to have ticked most of the boxes, Omega managed to inch even closer to the original this time around.?First thing's first, we created the collage that you see above, comparing the 2015 and the 1957 versions.?We must note the obvious: the original's tri-compax sub-dial layout has been replaced with a bi-compax design for the 21st century version, thanks to the 9300 in-house movement �C visible through the sapphire caseback �C that packs the chrono

Question about the model: 3570.50
Hi fellas!I'm looking into getting a manual wind chrono and think the model: 3570.50Is the one to have. However, I'd like a display caseback. Is this model available with a display caseback? Or is there another model in the 42 size range that I should research? Isn't the speedy pro the desired piece for a manual chrono? I'm a Daytona guy so I know absolutely nothing about the speedy and am trying to educate myself. Oh and has to be a bracelet piece. Thanks in advance!

Rare SS Speamaster recently sold in Japan
I saw this for sale recently but was too slow with the trigger and it's been sold. I know jmsrolls (Fr. John) collects Speamasters (a few Seamasters made in October 1998 had Speedmaster) erroneously printed on the dials) but I hadn't seen a SS one before. This one is a 36mm 2501.21 model. Anyone know more about these?https://global.elady/products/de...oduct_id=34215

Fair Trade?
I have a 1972 TT Rolex Datejust model 1601. A gentleman wants to give me a Seamster Professional James Bond + $200.00 in trade. Seems like a good deal to me. Opinions?

Saw new PO/8500
Went into an Omega boutique yesterday to check out Omega offerings, and man was I impressed with the new PO w/ 8500 movement. The new exhibition back and the super luminova on the date wheel is AWESOME. They even had a woman's version my wife was drooling over. Great stuff. That being said, with a $6100 sticker price, I'd still lean toward Rolex at that price. Very well done though.
