Is it safe? !!!
I decided that the 15400 should be swum with like any other watch.....and yes....it is safe!

About to buy my first AP royal oak but needed advice from you guys...
I found a AP 25594ST 36MM moonphase watch locally and I am very close to pulling the trigger on it. The owner said they bought it about 5 years ago but never had it serviced and hardly wore it. IT looks mint in the pictures.It has a white face.. They are at $7000 and are willing to meet me at a AP so I can have it authenticated before handing over the money. Is $7K a fair price for this watch, I see others on Ebay and chrono24 for 8-10K and they look alot older. This watch has the AP clasp with the AP letters so the clasp is AP not the rectangle clasp that alot of them have. How much would it cost to have this movement maintained at AP service center? I tried on a 39MM AP and it was a little too big so I think this 39MM would fit perfect..What do you guys think about the price and the movement in this watch..For 7K would I be able to recoup me money if i did not like it and wanted to flip it?Thank you!!

What do you think about modern Constellation?
Sorry to say that but I think compare to the Vintage one, Modern Constellation line is ugly and look horrible..., I can't image a men wearing it (sorry it just my opinion)What did Omega do with its flagship line? Some picVintage:Modern:

A couple new straps from Micah...
Just added a couple new straps from Micah. The 305 is a canvas desert camp pattern with stainless buckle. The 104PVD is baby croc. Really pleased with his quality and customer service.

Daytona finally arrived! but...
I live in Chicago, but my family are in Taiwan. Beginning of this year, I asked my brother to put his name on the list for a ceramic Daytona at a authorized dealer where we have bought a few watches from. My brother called me this morning saying a lady at the dealer said they just got a black dial Daytona in and we are on top of the list. Even though white dial is my first choice, I would take a black one any day. I immediately asked my brother to contact the lady and told her we will pay a deposit over the phone to hold it and will pick it up the next day. MSRP in Taiwan is about NT400,000 (USD 13,000). My brother asked if 20% deposit is enough. She said sure, that would be NT100,000 (USD 3600). That's when my brother asked the question, how much is it? The lady responded sticker price is NT400,000, we are selling it for NT500,000. I told him to tell her we are not interested. But I was pretty upset. At least in US, the dealers do not overcharge.
