The new RO 15202
As far as I know, the now old RO 15202 was pretty much the steel Nautilus 5711 of AP. In other words, it was a model that had a limited production, definitely lower than market needs. It was more expensive than the readily available 15300ST, and it was virtually impossible to find in most ADs and even AP Boutiques (please correct me if I talk rubbish). And unless I'm wrong, it was possible to special order a 15202 with a custom-made gold rotor, for of course a few thousands USD extra.Is that still the case with the new 15202? If one has to order and wait months for a 15202 anyway, and it costs considerably more than its readily available counterpart (15400ST now), then if one has the funds then why not order it with a special, unique rotor? Or does it only work if you order at least 10 similar pieces in a batch? Did anyone order a 15202 (old or new model) with a custom made rotor?It would be great if you could share your experiences in getting a 15202 brand new, from an AD or Bout

Limited Edition Scott Carpenter
I purchased a Breitling Cosmonaute Scott Carpenter Limited Edition model around 1996. I still have the box and papers. I don't see these trading hands often in the secondary market. I was hoping some of you might be able to help me with a valuation. Thank you for your input.

Skyfall Clasp
Watching the Skyfall bond film, and in the scene were he meets Q, Bond has one of the nicest clasp I've seen from any brand of watch!Unfortunately, I can't find any info on it,so if anyone knows the clasp it would be greatly appreciated if you were to share your knowledge.

Vintage Constellation?
Hi, guys. I've recently taken quite a shine to the 1950s-60s era Omegas. The size - 34mm or so - seems quite nice for modern-day wear on a smaller wrist. I've wanted a vintage watch for a long time and had been looking at Rolex Datejusts and Dates, but the vintage Omegas have such a neat look and can be had for considerably less than Rolex. At least, so it seems.Is it crazy to be especially intrigued with the Constellation because it has the cool observatory image on the back of the case? I just love that look. Even though it wouldn't show when being worn, it is such an elegant touch.I'm trying to learn more about these vintage pieces. Can anybody tell me more about them, pros and cons, and post pics if you have them? Any and all vintage Omegas - by all means share your knowledge!Thank you!PS - just found Desmond's blog. What a tremendous resource!

The Rolex Effect on Economic Productivity
Okay, my underlying personal productivity was already low to begin with (bankers...), but with the arrival of my new Submariner, this already dismal job performance has completely flat-lined. All I do is stare at my new Rolex and try to keep from drooling directly on it!Is there a Rolex on your wrist that's affecting your productivity today? If so, please employ the excess capacity by replying with a photo :-)TGIF, everyone
