B-1 versus Airwolf for 2nd Watch
I am getting an itch to add a new piece to the collection. I currently own an early version B-1 (non-super quartz) with black dial. I am contemplating adding either another B-1 Superquartz or Airwolf with a blue dial (2009 model with stripe texture on dial, not the radial pattern). I think most people seem to prefer the B-1 over the Airwolf, but I like the Airwolf and think it would add something a little different to my collection since I already own a B-1. I am also possibly considering an Aerospace, but I think I like the chronograph buttons on the case of the B-1 and Airwolf. I also love the turbine case back on the B-1 and Airwolf. But, I don¡¯t own a titanium watch and the Aerospace is starting to grow on me. I am curious as to what the forum members would do in my situation. Thanks in advance for the contribution! Guy

Omega Hospitality Club?
Hi all - I recently spent a very enjoyable hour and a half at the local Omega boutique looking at a variety of Speedmasters. I really had a blast and was impressed by the knowledge and kindness displayed by the staff there. I do have a question about the Omega Hospitality Club I was told about. The gentleman mentioned some vague benefits to purchasing a watch from the boutique, from early screenings of James Bond films to wine tastings. My question is do you guys know any more about the Hospitality Club? What exactly is it? I know it's mentioned to make paying full retail more attractive to the consumer, but I was pretty unclear on what it actually included. Thanks in advance!

Patek: Service, Production, Values and the Company

No chance. I consider Patek today the pre-eminent watch maker with an unmatched brand and in the vast majority of cases, an unmatched product.But I have a problem and this problem is OVERPRODUCTION. I believe that PP are produ
