Omega Trade Question?
I intend to buy two watches in the near future: a Rolex Explorer II or GMTIIc (not sure which of the two, as I love both and see pros and cons to both) and the new PO GMT (because I like POs and find the 43.5 mm watch is the best size available, and looks great with the darker bezel).On the other hand, since I'll be getting a Rolex 4-hander, a GMT PO may be overkill. Which takes me to today: I am selling a mint 1-year old Breitling Chronomat 44, with full set and warranty, to fund these watch purchases. Not having the easiest time selling it, despite the tremendous value.I am offered a straight trade for a LNIB, never-worn Omega Planet Ocean 42 mm. I am seeking your advice as to the values of the watches in that trade. MSRP on the Breitling (with in-house B01 movement) is $8960. To my knowledge, it's difficult to get a warrantied/full set in-house Breitling for much less than 25% discount. (Grey watches sell for less.) I don't think it can be bought new with full papers and warranty fo

Polar Plaisted Expedition Speedmaster
Has anyone seen this on the 'Bay?.ebay/itm/SCARCE-OMEGA...item20bfd2c64bAccording to seller, they have documentation from Omega that it is one of four Speedmasters given to the expedition crew. Interesting history, but wonder if that history will bring anything close to the buy now price! Will be interesting to see what happens, if sold through the 'Bay.Does anyone have any sales history of other famous Speedmasters, such as those documented to have been worn during space flight?

Cheapest PP Perpetual Calendar with a Second Hand
I'd love a Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar, but I'm not willing to settle for a watch without a second hand.From what I can see (Chrono24), the cheapest model that's a full perpetual calendar with a second hand is the 5059G. Going rate seems to be > $40,000 USD.Are there any other models people would recommend to keep an eye out for?Thanks.

What are your thoughts on this watch? I'm not usually a two tone guy, but this watch looks very interesting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My Neighbor Crapped
I've been wearing a Timex for a couple months and my next door neighbor and I have been discussing Rolexes. He knew I was treating myself to a Hulk for Christmas(pre owned). Before Christmas he would look at my wrist and ask what I was wearing ever day. I told him it was for Christmas, so it was arapped and under the Tree. On Christmas he got to see the Green Machine up close and personal. Today he wanted a look, so he said What you wearing'. I removed my watch and handed it to him. His eyes bugged out as he was looking at my GMT II daily wearer. He crapped ! The Green Monster is just so beautiful I knew I could not wear it every day. For years I have collected items we are not allowed to mention on this Forum, so I sold some to come up with extra cash. My AD just made me a wonerful deal onthe GMT II so I went for it.
