Omega Pictograms
When you get yourself a modern Omega, It comes with some nice accessories. A warranty card, A Chronometer card if a Chronometer, and a Pictogram card.There is a lot of good information on the Pictogram card..Here are a couple from a Seamaster and a Speedmaster:Across the top on the Speedy card it shows:1. Sapphire Crystal2. Anti-reflective coating inside only (a AA in a circle would indicate coating inside and out)3. Manual wind4. Waterproof to 50 meters5. Tachymeter equipped.On the Seamaster Card:1. Self winding2. Sapphire crystal3. Screw-in Crown4. Anti-reflective coating, inside only5. Waterproof to 300 meters6. Helium release Valve7. COSC Certified.and that last little pictogram by the Omega is the type of box. A #3 box for the SMP and (unshown) a SP (special limited edition) box for the SpeedyLearn as much as you can about the time-piece you strap on..

Would you buy your first Patek when .....
..... your life sucks. No details, but basically not a happy time. The 5711 is hard to get, but kinda feel like it would be associated to this difficult time. I'm leaning toward pass.

Two-Tone DateJust old mans watch ?
It's a question I'm sure we've heard before but after seeing these new chocolate dial DateJust I've got that burning feeling inside telling me I need one.I've alwsys been a bit put off from two tones as I've heard many times before that it looks like an old mans watch , until last year never liked the DateJust, I now own two steel models but feel now that it's time I got a gold steel version.I have subs , GMTs , YM and a Gold Daytona , I'm 41 years old now so maybe Its time ?

Value of Dial
I am considering an older DJ with the Tiffany dial. Does anyone know what kind of premium this would add to the watch vs the standard dial all other things being the same? I was browsing at some DDs with the stella dial and those are over the moon in price. Thanks!!

INCOMING thanks to DavidSW
My exciting news I wanted to share with TRF. After much internal and external deliberation I decided on my 3rd (!) watch. A Yachtmaster 116622 blue dial bought new from DavidSW. It joins its siblings: SubC 11610LN (AD purchase) and a Explorer II 16570 (my first DavidSW purchase). Two things...1. Both my DavidSW purchases went smoothly without any drama or complications. For this recent purchase, I had the watch in my hands in less than 24 hours after wiring him the money. Watch is exactly what it was advertised to be and he even set the time and date for me!2. Anyone see a watch my small humble collection can use/is missing? Rolex, of course. I am open to a 4th watch if funds allow by the end of the year.
