gx, I'll go against the grain here.. and say that 422 is sexier than 372! Haha!

I prefer the cleaner dial on the 372. haha

He looks far and beyond the need for materialism..

In this materialistic world and for a man of his stature, he's indeed respectable and wise.

His heart is for the people of Singapore. The rest is not in his agenda.

Truely a respectable man.

To the Omega purists (aka a562140, pwillie) - alas, I was unable to afford a 321 movement, so I got the next best - 861 movement but '68 transitional.

Wonder where those watches are now. Imagine the provenance.

Aesthetically, Rolex. But the snoopy is the one with the the investment value since it's only 1700 pieces and prices will almost certainly rise afterwards. Current snoopy LE was 5000+ pieces and the aftermarket prices are still strong, even in spite of the prevalence of spare dials.

Yup the LE seems quite attractive at this point. The snoopy is meant to be priced at 9.5. Rolex prob 8-9. Doesn't make the decision any easier!

haha me not omega purist, hopefully at least an informed buyer. for me we live in an age where its becoming more important to buy the watch not the brand (that coming from a marketing man myself!)

i think you need a closer shot of that dial, and to move that seconds hand away from centre to make it more fun

here's a must read for all speedmaster fans, from the late great chuck maddox :

Hmmm was he thinking of us when he said this

It is easy to become accustomed to a luxurious lifestyle. Some people believe that they will not miss their luxuries if for some reason they were to lose them, I think they are mistaken. I think they will miss them and be unable to reconcile themselves to a simpler lifestyle.

change bezel how much sia?!

They will quote when you send it in. If I remember correctly, it's less than $200. One of my friends changed his sapphire crystal for $380 or so..

The new oyster perpetuals are really poisonous. I really want the blue or grey one.

What he quote. I believe.
But those who rose from the poor to riches by hard work will still live a simple lifestyle. Seen thru my eyes.
But those who are born rich can never accept a simple lifestyle.

Good morning all. I'm looking for rubber/silicone watch straps for a 9.5 and above inch wrist. So far the ones I found are NATO/Zulu straps. Would appreciate some help and suggestions. Online sites also ok.
