First Omega advice please.....
Hi all.Considering diversifying a little from Rolex: I have the opportunity to purchase a new Omega from a UK AD at a great discount (family in the business) and would be interested to know what people advise as a keeper/daily wearer.I am drawn to either a Speedy or Seamaster and would value peoples advice on what best to spend the money on.I'm in the habit of wearing six digit Subs or Exp2 so something similar, but maybe a bit more dressy. I prefer a steel bracelet. I do care about retained values to a degree so something that is going to keep its interest over a few years, and provide some investment potential.Any advice appreciated

40th Anniversary Bond LE
Just picked up a 40th Anniversary Bond LE, this is the one withLittle 007's all over the dial, circa 2002. Been wanting to get oneSince they came out. Great watch. Will post some pics soon.

Interesting...
These are the watches with the patches on the sub-dials commemorating the various space missions (Gemini, Apollo, and Skylab). I believe it's ref. 3599.99...not 100% though. I know the 1/40 complete cases of 23 are selling for $150,000 USD plus. What about as stand-alone pieces? Any value?

A valid concern as there are expensive luxury mechanical timepieces that may not be able to withstand such use. In addition to water possibly reaching the fragile internal mechanical movement, the chemicals, soaps, etc used need to also be factored in. And with knowing a Rolex is sufficiently waterproof, we need to focus on not the physical act of showering but the soaps and possible abrasives. Watch used is a daily beater worn 24/7/365 SS SkyD blue. As a ‘professional’ reviewer for decades within the luxury goods sector, it comes as a surprise that not a single watch magazine has reviewed and tested common showers soaps. With such a high probability and variety of exposure to such substances, it is then a good idea for someone to test

Discounts at rolex boutique
Hi guys, I know that the rolex boutiques in london are a collaboration between the dealer and rolex and i'm curious as if you can negotiate discounts at the boutiques like you do in a authorized dealer store? Also is it too much if i expect the discount for full gold pieces like the daydate and president lady datejust to be 20%? thanks in advance.
