New Rolex Explorer and Submariner Revealed
And, in one of the most necessary possible updates, here is the new Explorer I. With no confirmation, it looks like that it was expanded to 40 mm (38 mm maybe?) 39 mm, with a new numbering and even power outage numbers. Proficiency with in turn the figures is not blackened, they simply have no luminova on them, giving a look of steel and money offshore.

And now the Aerospace...
...is on my wrist. I've had an interest in this watch for years, due to its combination of digital and analog technology. In high school, my dad gave me a Seiko Sports 100, which had an analog face with a dive watch look, but also had a digital readout. Very handy and served me well for years, until my dad gave me his Omega Speedmaster Professional and my love for classic mechanical watches with an adventurous feel was born. I'd debated the Aerospace's utility, in a world of iPhones. Nonetheless, I decided I wanted one good quartz watch with various functions. The Aerospace is that watch, for me. I bought it yesterday. A little crazy, since I scored the 38mm Transocean the previous day, but I know my fellow watch enthusiasts will understand!Here's a quick photo...ImageUploadedByTapatalk1372281023.523449.jpg

Omega SM300
Has anyone acquired an original one off eBay? I've read where the fakes are so realistic, they even have original omega parts. Any words of wisdom or past stories (good or bad) are greatly appreciated.

2 days ago in London....
I had an apointment with my friend Khalid (patekcollector)Always nice to see other collectors. ��So we had to go to the Patek salon lolAnyway, what do you think about these dome clocks?It was nice to see but I think I prefer the enamel dome clocksThis one made in Baccarat crystal is even more expensive than the enamel clocksIt is a piece of art and very uniqueI'm glad they showed me this piece in the Patek salon

Perhaps I will never buy another SS sport Rolex
I want to premise this buy saying I know how a free market works and get it.So today I visited a gray dealer at my local mall who I will not name.What struck me was the number of brand new SS models in stock: lvc, blnr, daytonac, red sea dweller 2017.I inquired how they had got them and they said from a local AD. The markup was quite high and followed the internet prices if not higher, they wanted 19k for the black daytonac. Cant say I am suprised and I get it is part of the business.The store also had used models such as a lvc and blnr. They wanted 9,400 for the lvc. I inquired if this was the same lvc I saw in July 2017 and the clerk said yes. When I asked why the price was up for 8k to 9.4k she said the market had risen, fair enough and makes sense to me. Just shocked they never sold it. However, the price was firm according to the clerk.In any event I was respectful and left on good terms. Just a frustraiting experience overall especially when many members here would kill for thos
