Planet Ocean first impressions
So I just received a new 2201.51 with 2500D movement. It feels a bit smaller than my ExpII 42mm. It wears more like a 40mm to me. Love the case shape and proportions. The new 8500 PO felt too thick for a 42mm. I'm a sucker for matte dials as it just looks more classy too me. The orange numbers pop off this dial. My only complaint would be the bracelet. Not really impressed with this one. The newer Rolex bracelets just feel and fit better than this one. Even the older rolex bracelets fit perfect with the micro-adjustments. I may just order an isofrane to go with this one. As for the 2500D, I guess time will tell how durable and reliable it will be. Overall, a great value at it's street price.

Another new Cal. 8500 PO
Just some quick shots of my new Omega PO Ceramic, 42mm, with the Cal. 8500 movement. An exceptional piece, although running on the edge of COSC at +6 (off the wrist, crown up), which seems disappointing to me, we'll see if it 'settles in.' Otherwise, timed out at a superb 64 hour power reserve.Cheers,-Marc

My First Rolex: SubC ND 114060
I’ll admit that Rolex as a brand was never something on my radar, even while being very into watches for the past ten years. Until about a year ago, Rolex represented people who had more money than sense or wanted to show off. The price did not throw me off since there are plenty of watches that cost more that have been on my radar for a long time; it was more the cache that came with the brand name. I don’t know exactly what changed, but I realized that was all in my head and something about the 114060’s simple, uncluttered dial really appealed to me. It is a watch that can take a beating and still look as good as new.Last weekend (9 days ago) I was fortunate enough to purchase a brand new 114060 from an AD about 45 minutes away from me. There are a number of Rolex AD’s much closer to me, but none of them had any stainless steel sports models in stock, nor could give an estimate when any would be coming in. A few offered to put me on a wait list, and a few othe

116618 with diamond dial
Anyone have one of these - 116618 diamond dial? I don't think they made too many of them. I know diamonds on a sub are not everyone's taste. Anyway...saw one for sale and it looked beautiful. I wondered everyone's thoughts in comparison to the sunburst dial. To those who have it how do you like it? Any regrets in not getting the sunburst dial? any wrist shots? Can you wear it daily? I am tempted to buy it. Thanks!
