Gold GMT II vs steel 26400...should I ?
I had a desire to add a little sparkle to my life and was offered an interesting proposition:Rolex Gold GMT II 116718 in trade for my steel 44 novelty 26400.After initially rejecting the offer...I'm having some second thoughts.I would love to upgrade the steel for the RG 44 Novelty, but its just not in cards, budget wise.I would still have my AP fix in the form of my FC diver Thoughts ? Comments ?

Question on this vintage constellation
I came across this vintage omega which was restored.However i haven't come across one with arrow markers on this dial.Does anybody know whether this is properly restored and looks correct?

Omega Seamaster 1976 vintage worth??
Troops:When I was a young WIS I saved my paper route money and bought a new Omega Seamaster Pro 660 ft water proofness....I still own the piece, black dial, tritium in 90%, some slight bleed of trit on dial. Working, I'm original owner with the original plastic box and paperwork.Ideas to value? I'll try and do pix soon........Thanks,Chris
