Quick intro
Hi all,I just realized I never properly introduced myself to the forum. My appreciation for watches started with a Timex Ironman I was given for one of my childhood birthdays.A grad gift from the old folks - an Omega Aqua Terra 8500 - acquainted me with higher end watch brands and my pocketbook has been paying the price ever since.I'm active on one of the other boards, but haven't been contributing much here as I wasn't part of the club. In part, the it was the Rolex stigma that kept me away - i.e. the perception that most owners buy them primarily as a status symbol - as well as the ubiquitousness of the Submariner.However, I've since become better acquainted with the other models, including the under-the-radar 16570 which I just purchased NOS. Now if only I can find a NOS 16600.....Looking forward to participating in the forum!

PO Liquidmetal I and II
I was looking for a tough daily beater to give my DJII a break. I couldn't decide between the Rolex Submariner Ceramic and Omega Planet Ocean. I like the Sub because of the new ceramic bezel and liked the PO for it's modern style. Flew to the US to visit my AD but was told that the PO was out of stock. Tried on the Sub-C but it felt small when compared to my DJII. So it looks like I was going home empty handed until my AD brought out a box containing the PO LM. Right off the bat, my AD offers me the PO LM for the same price as the PO so I do not have to wait 8 weeks for the PO. My lucky day! The best of both worlds. A ceramic/liquidmetal bezel and the contemporary styling of the PO. The deal was too good to pass up so I asked if I could buy 2. Unfortunately my AD had already sold 5 and only had 1 left but a quick phone call to Omega North America President and a 2nd PO LM was on its way to my AD. 3 days and almost $8,000 later I have 2 PO LMs in my hands. Loving the watch. I'm in a pro

Incoming - What is this one?
Not too difficult to guess?Deposit paid, 2 weeks approx lead time.Can't wait.

Nautilus vs Aquanaut Pictures
Hey everyone,I'm really wanting to purchase my first Patek and am having a hard time deciding if I should go with the 5711 (preferably white) or the 5167. So I thought that maybe if all of you posted some pictures of yours it could help me make my decision. Also any advise you guys have would be great. One question I do have: does the 5167 hold its value as well as the 5711? Thanks!

Rolex Passion Report is now predicting ...
Red lettering and a red gmt hand as a replacement for the green on the otherwise black-bezeled gmt. Possibly with a new movement? It’s somewhat interesting given the reports from some that there is a shortage of Ln.Mods, I’m not sure if it’s worth consolidating Rpr or Basel reports into one thread. I think Rpr (Phillip, I think) has at least a moderately good track record in his predictions enough to mention his latest update. rolexpassionreport
