Out with the old
Its been a couple of months since this happened so it is not really an incoming per se, but I did mix things up a little bit. AP family consisted of 15400 (white/silver), 15703 (ss) and 15707 (ceramic). I wanted to add a new piece, but I loved everything I had so my initial thought was to just add rather than replace. But at the same time, when the collection gets up to a bakers dozen, it is probably time to start making some hard decisions and consolidating a bit. So, unfortunately, this had to go:2014-10-17 09.45.34 copy.jpgI will miss it, loved it, but at the same time I had two divers and I did not want to part with the 15707 or the 15400:2014-10-02 15.13.28 copy.jpg2013-11-06 18.42.42.jpgSo, gone but not forgotten. To help fill the void, I decided to add this:IMG_0206.jpgIMG_0219.jpgFew observations about this piece:-- this is a big watch! I have about 7.75 wrist and this guy still feels really big, bigger than my PAM 190 for example. The biggest driver of the size difference i

tag aquaracer or omega..
bought the tag aquaracer wan2110 back in june, but i just found a great deal on an omega 2254.50..what do i do??? buy the omega and try to sell the tag? i love this aquaracer..wan2110.jpg

Discounts to be expected?
The local Omega dealer around here is going out of business. Its a chain of 4-5 stores. They have these huge signs plastered in the paper and on the street, play radio commercials sounding like everything must be sold today at liquidation prices etc.For the past few weeks I have stopped by to look at a Planet Ocean Chrono and they have them marked 20% off and won't move another $1. Some liquidation..... Isn't 20-25% pretty typical for an Omega?When does it become a bargain? I really love that watch but would only buy it if it was a super steal price.

Do you think I can pull this one off?
I've been seriously thinking about adding a PM model to my collection. The only thing standing in my way is my better half because she believes the boxes are taking up precious space, and the $ , and... etc etc etc.... you get the point.I recently realized that other than counting the number of boxes, she has very little idea of which watch is what and their value. I did an experiment by swapping my DSSD with a friend's 116710LN for a week and successfully flew under the radar. Don't get me wrong, my better half is smart as hell, just she doesn't seems to pay much attention to watches.So..ooo.. I came up with this is idea of consolidating my collection, trade my 16710 Pepsi and YM + ? for a 116719 BLRO. Say nothing and wear it like my 16710 Pepsi... and if she does ask, admit nothing! Obviously, if I can pull this off the enjoyment will be very rewarding. But if I fail, something is gonna lose...If you have any similar experience, please share!
