Ok, I bit the bullet - CK2998 LE
The last few weeks I got really excited with the then upcoming release of the Speedy moonphase. The release of this CK2998 LE totally blindsided me. I understand the purists were skeptical with this one, as it uses a big name in Omega history and is merely inspired by it, with a totally different color scheme, but when looked at individually, I quickly began to feel it was my favorite release this year - the size is amazing for me, at 39.7mm, the dial has a very vintage (Paul Newman, even, or is it just me?) vibe to it, while adding a modern touch with the navy blue color choice, and the navy blue ceramic insert with lume closes the deal (it doesn't hurt that I'm a sucker for blue, either).Anyways, Omega's promo video did it for me. I had to have one. https://.youtube/watch?v=9EufsnqmEYAThe only thing missing was a live picture, so I waited and kept an eye open for all sites covering Basel. Finally this came out:And off to the boutique I went. Deposit paid, and the wait begins. Really

Any creative ways to purchase Rolex with Amex points?
So far, I've thought of the following:-Buy gift card for shopping mall (Amex sometimes offers) that has dealer in it.-Buy gift card for hotel that has retailer located in it (would this even work?).-Purchase, and then use the redeem points towards purchase option (but then it's 133 points per dollar, whereas gift cards are often 100).Any others?

SS Sky Dweller Owners in DC/VA/MD
Evening All,Are there any owners of the SS Sky Dweller in the above areas who'd be happy to meet me to see the watch please? This might look at mite dodgy to some, but I can assure you that my interest is genuine (after all, look at my previous posts) and I want to see what the blue/white/black version looks like in the flesh. I'm especially interested to see a blue dial version. If there are any takers, let me know and I can PM you and we can set something up. I work in DC for the Feds, so can do anything within the 8-5 time frame.Best,TA
