Introducing: The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 39.5mm
This year at Baselworld Omega has decided to revamp their old classics. Take the Seamaster Planet Ocean 39.5 mm for example, although this watch is already in existence, it is now available in 39.5 mm and features a new co-axial movement, the caliber 8801/8800 (as opposed to the caliber 8615). 1 OF 2 This new movement is certified by METAS and is self-winding with a power reserve of 55 hours. The new 39.5 mm case, as opposed to the 37.5 mm or 42 mm case currently in the collection, is a welcome addition to those looking for something in between the two sizes. 2 OF 2 Additionally, the watch is now available in Sedna™ gold with brown ceramic bezel and shimmery brown dial or the two-tone version in Sedna™ gold and stainless steel. Both come with a rubber or leather strap. More here.Additional information and pricing to follow. Be sure to check us out on HODINKEE Live!
All this talk of AP clocks....
My dealer got me this AP clock as a Christmas gift, it was incredibly generous of them but it proves that loyalty pays!The clock itself is manual wind not battery powered and has an 8 day power reserve. Coincidentally I was about to buy a nice clock however my budget would not have extended to this.

5146 help
Hi guys,Once again I a considering the 5146. This time I am trying to justify the 5146P instead of the 5146 G slate dial.I really love the look of the 5146P ebony dial however, I am not sure i like the price difference. I feel the G is very similar to the P version so why spend so much money. What are your thoughts? Would you get the P or the G and use the additional funds of another watch in the future?Please share your thoughts with me. Thank you.
Spanish VAT question re the Submariner Date (116610 Ln)
Hi guys - A while back I was lucky enough to reserve a Date Sub for July when i visit my family in Barcelona (I'm an Australian) at one of the ADs.I gave them my passport details a while back and now they have confirmed that they have acquired one in time for my trip but I need to give them a 2,000 euro deposit.They say that the retail price of 7,850 euros is non-negotiable and that they could assist in organising a 15.7% discount resulting in a price of 6,618 euros (very reasonable imo). Does anybody have any experience in negotiating further at one of these spanish ADs or should I be grateful that this has been set up and take the good price as it is.Also is there anything I need to do re bringing the watch back to Aus around GST etc?Thanks in advance - I am fairly new to international purchases and always bought in Australia but after reading some of the forums here I thought I would give it a crack overseas too.Appreciate it!
