Hamilton Trivia
Serious watch photographers know to set the hands of an analog watch to 10:10 or 10:12. According to Rene' Rondeau in his Hamilton Wristwatches, A Collector's Guide, the Hamilton advertising department wanted a uniform setting of 10:12 for consistency in all the company's print ads AND because at that setting, the hands are nearly symmetrical. It also brackets the Hamilton name below the 12 o'clock postion.However, the company used various hand positions in bygone years, the most popular being 9:12.

How many links on a BNIB, factory sealed Planet Ocean?
Hi Omega experts. Out of the blue, I have an amazing incoming tomorrow! BNIB, factory sealed, Seamaster Planet Ocean. Reference #232.30.46.21.01.001This has the 8500 movement which I hear is on par with the Rolex 3135/3137 movement. I think Omega is using an even newer 9300 on the newest POs, and they may even be better, but anyway...This has the black face and bezel. I have read the comparisons to the sub, and I'm so pleased that it can be mentioned alongside that watch. I'm really looking forward to enjoying it, especially since I paid a very fair price from a trusted seller here on the forum.Here is the question. This watch is factory sealed. How many links should it come with? More importantly, how big a wrist from the factory will it fit? My wrist is 7.5 and I like to wear my watch loose. Does Omega provide 3 extra links or is this the AD? No micro adjustment or glidelock has me worried about sizing. This is one area where rolex really outshines the PO, but for 1/2 the price I thi

Pics of your Aquanauts on aftermarket straps?
I've just picked up a 5167a. Really liking the standard strap but I'm interested to see photos of them on different straps. Would you mind posting up photos if you've done this?Thanks

SS Pepsi Likely To Cause Plunge in WG BLRO Sales
I have been looking to buy a pre-owned BLRO in WG, but I am now just going to buy the SS Pepsi. The SS models hold their value much better, they are easier to sell if you change your mind, they are more durable and now there is little difference in the look, plus the SS Pepsi has the new movement and a much longer lasting power reserve which makes it technically a superior watch to the WG BLRO.The White Gold BLRO was not a big seller before this SS Pepsi was introduced, so I think sales of the WG BLRO are likely to go down even more now which might eventually lead to the model being discontinued or maybe Rolex will upgrade it in some way like the movement. Thoughts?A used WG BLRO is about $23 to $24k today, which is enough to buy a SS Pepsi and a SS Daytona and still have about $2 to $3k left for a fun weekend....Based on that I can't justify a WG BLRO anymore. It needs to drop further in price so that it makes more sense.
