38mm or 42mm Ralph Lauren Slim Classique? Need help on the size
Hello all. I recently had Ralph Lauren ship both their 38mm and 42mm Slim Classique watches to a Ralph Lauren store near my home. They were both white gold without diamonds. I absolutely love this watch and have had my eye on it for some time.I am getting married very soon and wanted to get a very nice formal dress watch that I could make a family heirloom. Since this watch has a plain back for engraving, my fiance is going to engrave it with a special message without me knowing it until it is given back to me on our wedding day.After looking at both sizes, I ended up buying the 42mm. The store manager who was helping me suggested the larger one. I have two other high end watches that are both 42mm so I think I initially felt more comfortable with the larger one.Of course, I am now second guessing my decision. Can anyone help me out? I definitely want this watch to be my formal dress watch. I will be wearing a tuxedo to my wedding.Now I also wear suits to work each day and plan on wear

Speedmaster of some kind. Where to begin?
Hi All,I've been bitten by the Speedmaster bug. I've acquired a few Rolex pieces from trusted sellers on TRF, and will likely be doing the same to acquire a nicely used Speedmaster. Only problem is, while I'm fairly educated on Rolex models, I have no idea where to begin with Omega. Pricing seems to vary wildly for a used Speedmaster (between $1600 - 4800USD). I think my budget is around 1,500-3000. A little help would be appreciated.1. What models to consider? (I'm not a fan of the newer 42mm size, so vintage might be best)2. Is my budget reasonable?3. What to look out for for a first time Omega buyer?Thanks in advance

Omega PO goes to Cuba
Just got back from Cuba, spent a beautiful week there with my girlfriend Corine and some buddies (Scott and Kurt), soaking up the sun, smoking lots of cigars, and drinking lots of rum. It's a very interesting country, the literacy rate there is apparently over 95% which is on par with or better than many Western countries, and they have a health care program where every citizen is able to see a doctor. Whether or not treatment is readily available is another story however, as there is a shortage of even the most basic things, like cold medicine and even toilet paper. There is 0 homelessness which I found interesting, since the government assigns every person a home of some sort.One rather strange sight was a fair bit of hate propaganda in the form of billboards etc. aimed at America. The Cuban government wants very much for the Cuban people to resent America, but I didn't find that to be the case at all. I spoke with many locals and did not find a single one who hated America, an
