I think it's her turn
I think the next watch may be for the wife (errrrr). She likes these ROs that are about 30mm and basically look just like a 39mm/41mm RO, like this. Seems like they don't make them this simple anymore (i.e. no diamonds) and with a bracelet rather than strap. Which websites should I keeps tabs on for something like this -- a site that's trusted and reliable?

Aqua Terra cal.8500 & new Silicon Balance Spring
Does anyone know if the recent production of AT's with the cal. 8500 are equipped with the new silicon balance spring? A local major AD told me the one she was selling had it, but another major distributor told me they are not out yet.

My favourite watch hands down is the 5980R, but my wife felt that the all gold braclet was too much of a statement and I rhink ahe is right. It also sat outside my budget ao I needes to get one 30% off which would prove very difficult given how new it was. She then made what I think is a good suggestion.By looking at the big price difference between the Chrono on leather strap (5980R) and the moon phase power reserve (5712R), then factoring in a good discount, maybe I should consider two watches. For example the 5712R and the ROO Rose Gold 25940 (older model with round push buttons). This way I have a nice watch to wear with a suit and another casual watch.So may I p
