ROO Ceramic Stops
Happy Easter guys, I just wanted to get some feedback. I pulled out my anthracite ceramic 44m piece from the safe this past Thursday, set the time and threw it on my wrist. Over the course of the weekend, it has just stopped multiple times. I made sure it was wound sufficiently. I assume this is a simple fix at Clearwater, but wanted to seer if there were any other similar experiences. The watch had not been worn for 8 months or so I would say. Do I just call AP Americas to get something setup?Thanks JPS

My modern "Grail" Speedmaster: 1957 50th Anniversary
Not technically the Pro Moonwatch since it doesn't have the 861/1861/etc. Lemania movement, but this is my Grail modern steel Speedmaster that still maintains much of the Moonwatch look and tradition, with a special manual-winding movement.Retail on this is pretty nuts - in the $12K range, I believe - but it can be had at substantial discounts. There is a mint example for sale on here right now for $7K complete from a trusted seller. I love the enamelled dial with pre-Moon vintage text and OMEGA logo, and the column-wheel, high-beat (28k bph), Co-Axial movement is stunning and silky smooth. The bracelet is also the newest ref. 957 with screw links and vintage logo clasp. It's not for everybody, especially the price tag, but I got a terrific deal on this one and have wanted it since it was first announced. I was looking for cal 321 pre-Moons, but all that are reasonably priced are pretty beaten up (by my standards), and I don't think that I can live with the lower beat rate. Next up is

Ask real owners here about fragility
I'm a new collector and I'm looking to add soon. I've got the BLNR Batman and am thinking of adding either a 5167 Aquanaut or the James Cameron DeepSea Deep Blue. I wear the Batman everyday as it was a wedding gift but want something else, maybe somewhat sporty. I've tried on the deep blue and liked it when I had it on but the more I think about it afterwards the more I want it. On the flip side the5167 is a PP...no explanation needed as it can be a casual or dress watch. I dress up for work so both would work. Love the deep blue even more because it's hard to come by like my batman but something about the PP keeps me interested. Looking for functionality and value over time on these. To make things more interesting I like the rose gold chocolate dial Daytona on leather but think it may be too pretentious with where I'm at career wise as I work in a political corporate environment and gold may send the wrong message. Looking for any advice on the first two mainly.
