Speedmaster in Japan
What is the MSRP in Japan for a hesalite Speedmaster Professional 311.30.42.30.01.005 on a metal bracelet?I flew through Narita a few weeks ago and I believe they quoted 519,000 yen. They were offering a ten percent discount at the time. Does this price include VAT or is this a duty free price?At the current exchange rates this is a decent saving off of the MSRP in the US. Not as good as the gray market, but it would be purchasing from an AD.Thanks!

Speedmaster - leather strap or SS bracelet?
I just came out of a meeting with someone who was wearing their Speedmaster Pro on its stainless steel bracelet. It looked fantastic - very sexy. I also remember watching Apollo 13 with Tom Hanks (a great Speedmaster porn movie) and admiring all the Speedmasters on their metal bracelets.However, I have always preferred a leather strap on the Speedmaster. I am not a fan of the standard leather deployant model fitted by Omega on the Speedmaster (too bulky for my 6.5 wrist). My solution was to buy my Speedie Pro with the metal bracelet and then fit a traditional leather buckle black Omega strap in the Omega Boutique before I walked out with my new watch. It looks great and is a bit more vintage as well. Doing it this way was a little more expensive but I have the option of the stainless steel bracelet if I want it. Having seen the metal bracelet version today I'm tempted to go back to it.What do people here prefer - leather or metal ?

Omega constellation
Hi Members,I recently bought omega constellation pie pan. But the dial does not have the 'Omega' name on it. Just want to know is it rare or the dial has been restored at some point of time. Even the word constellation, especially the last letter 'n' is not as per original type. Also the dial is gold one or not. Can any member shed a light on it please as I collect vintage watches and would like to have your esteemed opinion.

Going tomorrow to pick up some pieces for my business partners. It's an epic take- not quite massive as Conkers incoming a while back- that was beyond epic- but this is pretty darn cool.Pictures tomorrow.

PAM P090 straps replacement
I havent wear my PAM90 in a while since i have other different timepieces to wear with in a rotation daily, and i finally got that out of the safe & started to wear it again today; but i feel a little bit bored with the style now, and think of maybe changing the straps will give my watch to have a bit of a new look &/or add some fashon styles to it!
