Hands-on with the Second Generation Anstead Oceanis
When I heard last spring that Tom Anstead was going to come out with an updated version of his Kickstarter-fueled Oceanis, I was eager to get it on my wrist. I'd reviewed the first generation piece and had mentioned a few improvements I was hoping for in a next generation watch, including some quality control. I was eager to see how the boutique brand had addressed them.The good news is, they did indeed address quality control, and a few other things too. I don't mean this to be a head to head comparison of the Gen I and II versions, but comparisons are inevitable when discussing evolutionary models. I'll keep them to a minimum.Anstead Oceanis Gen II ReviewCase: 316L SteelMovement: Miyota 9015Dial: BlackLume: SuperLuminovaLens: SapphireStrap: Steel BraceletWater Res.: 300mDimensions: 44 x 49 mmThickness: 14.3 mmLug Width: 22 mmCrown: screwdownWarranty: 1 year, limitedPrice: $649CaseThe Oceanis' case is machined from 316L stainless steel. 316L is particularly resistant to corrosion (you

Speedmaster 57' priced too high??
Hey folks,So, I currently own a planet ocean that i've had for 6 years, and want to get a new watch to commemorate me getting my Doctorate and my 30th birthday My family wants to chip in as well. I was leaning towards a rolex milgauss gv, but I recently saw the blue speedmaster 57', and it is gorgeous. In consulting with the last AD I dealt with, the price they were able to give me for the 57' is about $7250. Now, I think it deff is a gorgeous watch with an amazing movement, but it's a little tough for me to think of spending that much on an omega. Perhaps I am not giving the brand it's due, but I always looked at omega as best bang for buck in the 3-6k range. At 7kish i'm in rolex/jlc territory. This however is comparing omega's top movement to rolex or JLC simpler movements (maybe not so much for JLC). Anyway, am I wrong in thinking this way. Is the speed master 57' if had for around 7k considered a good deal for the watch in comparison to the brands available at that price.

Rolex colors and coordinating clothing
Do you ever think about it? Put any effort into it?I'm not a slave to matching, but sometimes it's fun.
