SeaMonster, or Clear Case Back.
One of the charming aspects of the Omega is their Sea Monster (Hippocamp) on the back..It's something I always look for in my Omega....Lately it seems that everybody wants to have a clear case back though........OK, I guess that's cool........but not nearly as cool as that Monster looking back at you..What's your preference ???

5712 moon phase changes at 10:00pm?
As many of you know, I recently bought a 5712A. I just noticed tonight that the moon phase actually changes around 10:00pm, rather than during the day. Is this true for all 5712s/240 movements?Interesting that the 324 movement definitely changes during mid-morning (approx. 11:00am) but the 240 changes in the evening. Has anyone else noticed this? For those that have, do you prefer it changing during the night, which technically isn't accurate for a few hours after the change (I think), or during the day?

Come to Papa��.
Well I thought my 5712 would be my one and only Patek, how foolish of me, so I just got a second one today, not the most loved model of Nautilus on the forum, but my second favorite Patek after the 5712 and before the 5167R.Hesitated on taking the 5167R, for the diversity factor, 1 Aquanaut and 1 Nautilus, but putting 25K euros minimum which is 10K just for going from SS to RG was a little too much IMO, so I went for the complications once again and after 1 hour am very pleased, I prefer the bracelet model but since I already have a bracelet Nautilus I thought strap was a better option, now it's on the alligator strap but planning to get a dark grey rubber strap from ABP in Paris.Anyways here are some pics, sorry I'm not a very good photograph when it comes to watches, I'm much better taking pics of buildings, landscapes or people…P1000717.JPGP1000721.JPGP1000724.JPGP1000725.JPG

Random Thoughts on New Releases
Agree or disagree, whatever. 1. Basel prediction threads are worthless. 2. My AD said... threads are worthless.3. If you buy a PM Rolex you are now on absolute notice that Rolex will think nothing of killing the market for your watch by releasing a SS version. I think this is a great slap in the face to their highest end customers. Spare me the BS about you knowing its PM, about the subtle differences, about rarity vs. the weird new blue dial PM GMT, etc. Your watch is going to go down in price. No respect for the consumer. None.4. The Black/Brown GMT is awful. Maybe it will look better in person, shall see. Some people have an eye for those colors, not me. Can't wait for the nickname fans to have a go at that one. 5. The SS Blue/Red GMT on Jubilee is super nice. It just pisses me off that I can't go buy one in three months because of the anticipated and intentionally created scarcity. That really pisses me off. There too, we shall see. 6. The new movement! The new movement! Come on pe
