Baselworld 2013: Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon
Welcome the all black ceramic Omega Speedmaster. This must be some kind of PR trick, putting?tantalizing?images online and then taking them down quickly, but with just enough time to let a few people have a sneak preview.Seems that enough information has gotten out that I think Omega knows they have something really special to tease Omega fans everywhere. The?new Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch is coming, and from the way things look, it's one pretty watch. The name says it all.? The name, "Dark Side of the Moon," pretty much refers to the fact that this is a bold black watch that just looks simply stunning. See a full watches-dealer Omega Speedmaster watch review here.Materials-wise, this is one high tech?extravaganza of a watch. The headline feature, of course, is the black ceramic used extensively on this watch, including the case, case-back and chronograph pushers. The dial is in black zirconium oxide ceramic with two blackened sub-dials. Case size is 44.25mm, and the applied indexes a

GMT IIc bezel play
Hello all,Playing around with my 3 month old SS GMTIIc I discovered the following:1-Grab bezel with both fingers as if to turn the bezel either right or left. Without actually appliyng full force to jump bezel to the next hr mark, just wiggle softly left and right and you'll notice a very little play!! I asked RSC NY and they said it was normal.2-Also if you grab bezel with two fingers, one at 9 position(on dial reference position) and the other at three(on dial reference position) try to move it horizontally left and right and you'll also notice very little play(looseness)! Rolex also says its normal.If you try this with say the Sub, you won't get play, then again Rolex attributes this to new ball bearing system on new GMTiic.Can owners of GMTIIc or anyone else please clarify/verify this and confirm on their watch???( GMTIIc, if you own one)Any imput will be appreciated!!Ed

Possible surprise for wife to be on wedding day
As the title says Im thinking of surprising my wife to be with a Rolex on our wedding day. She is so supportive of me and anything I do,buy or want to get involved with. When I was looking for my Rolex she was excited for me to go see them and try them on and what not. She even said wow those are nice and how she would never buy herself one. Anyways I have it narrowed down to 2 watches which I remembered her saying she liked. The first is the Ladies Datejust 36 116200 with the pink floral /cogs face. 2nd choice is the datejust 26 179174 with the blue sticks face. My question is I cant seem to locate the blue datejust in person to see it. So looking to TRF to see if anyone owns the dateust in the blue for some pics. Im leaning more towards that one a) due to the size (she is a small petite lady) and think it would look better/fit her better and b) she loves blue. The pink is nice when she saw it in person but it was kinda big for her.
