Mahatma Gandhi Zenith Pocketwatch
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born in 1869 in Porbandar, India. He is known around the world as Mahatma Gandhi or "Great soul", an honorific title first applied to him by Rabindranath Tagore. In India, on the other hand, it is known as Bapu (b?)have or "Father"). He is officially honoured in India as the father of the Nation; the day of his birthday, 2 October, is commemorated as Gandhi Jayanti, a national holiday and in the world as the international day of non-violence.

A recent love for Omega brought me deeper
I use to just focus on the Speedy Pro but recently my focus changed and I sold nearly all my Speedy, keeping only the standard Moonwatch.With the funds, I bought a SMP300 James Bond and later will be collecting from the shop a PO2500 42mm. I earlier bought the latest PO8500 but sold nearly immediately as I cannot take that thickness. The PO2500 sits better on my 6.5in wrist.Now that I still have some funds remaining (yes! ), I am contemplating a discontinued NOS SMP300. I think the ref is 2255, blue wave dial and steel bezel on speedy bracelet.However it seems the 2255 are not so popular (I stand corrected) and more love is towards her black bezel black wave 2254. I don't think my dealer has a NOS 2254 but the offer of that BNIB unworn 2255 is hard to pass.To the 2255 owners here, what are your thoughts of this watch? It seems to be caught between dress and sport. Well, maybe more towards dress due to the full steel bezel.I think I am swimming too deep into the reign of the Omega di

Rolex, I wonder sometimes.
Hi TRF,Do the forum members ever consider that despite the fact that Rolex makes decent watches, they really don't care about their customer base, current or future (unless you're a very high end buyer or a name)? I have to say that I really do like the brand. They make some stunning pieces. However, if what has been posted about lowering production is true, I'm fast taking the view that once I've picked my two, I'm done with the brand. The ADs rarely have stock, waiting lists range from modest to insane, and they keep the media and buying public completely in the dark��about everything to do with their brand. Ive never come across a company in any field this appears so indifferent to its customer base. I get that Rolex doesn't need to care. For every client they lose, there's another waiting. However, their lack of customer care, which is frequently reflected in the quality of treatment one receives at some ADs (not my experience, but that of friends), will eventually hurt them. A part
