SMP "Non Americas cup" 2230.50
Hi, I've recently seen a few pics of this watch and am frankly very smitten! I have a budget aside to buy a new diver / everyday watch. I am currently waiting for Basel as I have good reason the believe that a new "re vamped" version of the 2250.50 SMP is going to be released. If so then I'm already down as 1st refusal on the AD's 1st one" However after seeing pics of the "Non Americas Cup" SMP (Not in the flesh though) I am seriously considering buying one if I can find one at the right price and condition (New or as new!) Anyone ever had one? Are they as nice in the flesh as in the photos? I know they're discontinued and have been for a few years but they do pop up from time to time.Just idle chit chat I suppose but any comments welcomed! Ta! Mac.

My new toy :)
Hello there I have inherited a few omegas from my father. Somehow I was always a rolex guy well until now I have never really paid attention to omega models other than the constellation series. Frankly I have no idea what I just bought and it was a total impulse decision. Saw this day date speedy first time while just browsing the boutique. Before I could realise I was out of the boutique with it in less than 30 mins! I hope more knowledgeable members would chime in more details of this watch. Its by far the most busiest mechanical watch in my collection and I got really bowled over by the sheer complications in it. I tried searching the net for this reference speedy but with no luck, even in here I couldnt find more info regarding it, seems like an underated omega. I usually love to research my watches well before I buy them. I plan to wear this one only once I understand it well to truly appreciate it. Till then enjoy the photos.

PAM 512 vs PAM 572?
Hey Everyone,Had my eye on both the 512 and the 572 for a bit, and got to try on the 572 today.I hate to say it, but it seemed just a tad too big for me. (Wrists are about 6). I like the 512, and I'm ok with the size, but I'm not sure if I'm too into a manual vs an automatic.Both are beautiful if you ask me. If I went with the 512, I'd love it whenever I looked at it, but not sure how I feel about winding it always. If I went with the 572, well, it's also beautiful, but I'll probably be bothered some by it's size, but comforted by it's automatic movement.Wondering if any of you own either of those, or both, or if anyone was in the same predicament and can offer any suggestions or advice?Cheers in advance!
