Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 2209.50.00 Automatic Stainless Steel Bezel Midsize Watch

Correct strap for WWII Vintage watches
What is the correct strap for a vintage WWII US Watch?Where can you find one?What is the correct strap for a British WWW and German DH watch and where can they be found?

I held the line last night and passed up a sale Tourbylion*
Was flipping through the channels last night when I saw ShopNBC's resident "cougar" hawking a Stuhrling turbelyon*.Considering most of the Android/Stuhrling turbilens* go for $900 to $1200, the $595 price with 6 payments actually looked somewhat tempting.Then, that brief moment of wanting was beat down. A Chinese movement "finished" in Stuhrling's Swiss factories reminded me to the fact that for $600, I would get a Chinese made case, and a Chinese made movement that might have been stamped finished in Switzerland, at best.For a hundred bucks, yeah, I might bite, but at that price once can find a nice brand name Swiss watch or one could save a bit more and get an even better watch.Still though, it looks nice, has a sapphire crystal, seems to be nicely finished. It just isn't worth the asking price.Anyway, the mesmerizing movement of the terbeyone* was resisted, at least for now

Watch Suggestions Please!
I haven't owned a new watch in quite some time and I am now in the market. I stumbled upon this website while researching various brands and was impressed the wealth of information.I am in my mid 20s and a driving enthusiast (weekend track days, etc). I've tried to break down what I'm looking for:Budget: up to $1000.00Styles: Omega Speedmaster, Tag Heuer Carrera CalibreBrand: European, not JapaneseI realize that some of the Citizen Eco-drives fit within these some of these criteria, however I would prefer something that if I go out to dinner the guy at the table next to me doesn't have one.If I could afford a Tag or an Omega, I would pick up the listed above. However I need to find something under the budget.Any opinions on Tissot as a good choice?Thank you in advance!

A little AP fun this weekend
I couldn¡¯t resist and had to go back and try on the RO again. I am in love with this watch. While I was there I tried on a Panda to see how the larger size would look. It definitely sits very high on the wrist but the size didnt really bother me. I kinda liked the larger size for the sport watch. Its probably my second favorite AP over the RO. I need to stop looking at the RO because its driving me crazy.

One week with my new patek
Well ive owned the 5167 for a week now and just wanted to update on how im feeling about it. First. I love this thing...but I can honestly say that while I stated this was going to be my grail piece...it will not be. Rather im setting my next patek bar kind of high and will only purchase it in about another 10 years (when I pass 40 and purchase my second home.) Im glad I took you guys' advice and skipped the B&R for now. I still want it to fill in a gap in my collection, and will still be purchasing it probably the end of this year for Christmas. On to the watch1) Love the look of it. The dial is beautiful and I swear I can stare at the movement for hours. 2) Ive worn it out 2 times now. Once out to dinner and another for some drinks. Both with the GF. No stares and no one even notices it. Makes me worry about it less. 3) Its keeping time well. I feel that when adjusting time and winding that the movement is faaar more delicate than my rolex...and im taking extra care to be gentle
