Omega Speedmaster Day Date Question
This is a watch I have been wanting to get for a long time. Back in 2001, the black dial model had other color hands and one of them had a rocket, but it seems the new version is all black. I also would like to see a black dial watch with a silver bezel as I think the black bezel would be prone to scratches and the paint would come off. Does anyone know if they will have a black dial version with the bezel being silver instead of black. I have seen older Speedmasters day date in that combination.Thank You

Compare your 5167A to Daytona, if you have both
My watch dealer has offered me an excellent deal on a LNIB 5167A, and I'm on his wait list for a stainless Daytona. I've never owned a Patek, but the Aquanaut is the one that most appeals to me. I'm only going to get one nice piece this year and can't do both, so if you own both I would love to hear your thoughts. I've got around me ten Rolex and Tudor sport watches already, new and vintage, but the Daytona is sort of a Grail watch. I have average size wrists but I do like bigger pieces with some presence, and my favorites are my 42mm Polar ExpII and blue Milgauss.I realize these are apples/oranges, and Chrono function isn't really a factor, more the iconic nature of the Daytona that I like.

Need Advice On DayDate
I've been back in the DD market as of late, and the watch I settle on will not be a safe queen. I'm wanting something I can wear daily and for a long time. I'm quite drawn to a 228235 or even a 118206, but I've found a a K serial 118238 near me which I'm not at all opposed to.. and it's $10k less that either of the previous options mentioned. One thing I'm an absolute stickler on is wanting the heavier band with solid end links found starting on the P (2000) serials. Of course, Rolex then upgraded the clasp starting with the F serials a couple of years later. I actually had one of these on my previous DD that I could kick myself for selling. I was only 27, timid about all gold, and wanted to pay off my house, so the watch was sold. Needless to say, values have gone up substantially in the subsequent 10 years But I digress. What are your thoughts on the clasps of newer models with president bands? Is it substantial enough of a difference that it would be a deal breaker? Or a relatively
