Finally purchased my dream watch!
Hey guys, after much searching I have taken possesion of my grail watch (2502.80) the 42.2 AT in blue! The search was made all the more challenging due to the fact that it's been discontinued by Omega. These pics don't do it justice, but I wanted to share with the forum.

Advice needed...
Hello TRF memebers,To commemorate my birthday and a special moment in my life in April, I was on a quest to find a Patek 5127, which has always been one of my favourites. As the model was discontinued in 2013, pre-owned was the only option, and in searching for one, I found one at Watchfinder.co.uk via their website.Having initiated the transaction on their websibe, I had the first viewing of the actual piece at their showroom in Royal Exchange in the City, the piece seemed OK at the time.

A color is a color, so technically, I can¡¯t believe there is any reason, and this is a marketing choice. My question is: (again) Why? Is the Pepsi that much more popular that in the AG model they don¡¯t have to even produce one? I certainly wouldn¡¯t think so. Basel 2018 prediction: All White Gold Coke GMT II
