Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Watch With "Liquidmetal" Ceramic Bezel
Why on Earth Omega would call a ceramic bezel "Liquidmetal" is a mystery to me (see update below). It not only is ceramic not liquid, but it isn't a metal. Well, it is liquid-like when being formed, but you get the idea. Ceramic as used on watches is actually made from glass as I understand it. It used to be that most bezels on dive watches were made from aluminum. Not sure why that is, but it is still very common. One approach to "luxurize" the bezel was the Blancpain approach of doing a bezel with a sapphire crystal over it. This prevented the scratching that people hate. This is really the problem with aluminum. Sure you can replace the bezels. but it is a pain, and not something you want to do when paying a lot for a diver's watch.(UPDATE): Turns out liquid metal is something else, not the ceramic part of the watch. Liquidmetal seems to be a special titanium alloy that has the manufacturing process of plastic. Thus it is very malleable. Omega uses Liquid metal at least in parts of

A collection of just 1 or 2 ''specials'' ?
Inspired by a well respected member of the Dutch Rolex Forum I would like to start this thread.By now I have collected 5 Rolex watches and needless to say that I am more than happy with them.But every time I open my watchbox I get this restless feeling inside...what watch do I wear today?In the morning I pick one for wearing that day and right after I close the vault I start thinking that maybe that other one should get some wrist instead...And then the vault opens again..So here the question for you all..Do you want/need to switch watches once or twice a day or do you want that big grail we are all after?A Panda Daytona or a DDSD..What are your thoughts on this one?

New rules for putting names on waitlists?
In Hong Kong, it seems that most, if not all Patek ADs are still taking names for waitlists, but are employing a few new requirements to those who want to be put on the waitlist for any SS references. It seems dealers are now demanding a business card from a reputable local company. Overseas cards are not accepted, so most tourists are out. If you can't provide a business card, I know a few dealers have outright told people that they will not put you on the waitlist, or will quote a very long wait time. As a subsidiary point, all dealers have also told me that they will no longer ship out of Hong Kong. In addition, I was told that they will strictly adhere to the rule that all watches must be picked up by the same person whose name is on the waitlist, opened at the point of sale, papers filled out, and that they will not let you leave the shop without resizing the watch. In the end, with an overseas business card (but speaking the local language), I had success with getting on the wait
