Zenith El Primero 410 Limited Edition Calendar Chronograph Watch
Hot on the heels of the incredibly cool El Primero Lightweight, Zenith has launched another limited edition El Primero, dubbed the 410 LE. The 410 is based on a very rare vintage El Primero model from the 70's that looked almost identical, save for the original model's smaller 38mm case. You can see an example here, said to be 1 of 25, sold by Christie's in 2012. Sporting a couple of updates, the new El Primero sticks with the vintage formula and offers an homage to a hard-to-find and rather desirable piece from Zenith's past.Based around a 42mm case, the El Primero 410 is a textbook nod to a successful design from the early 70's. On this modern version, the sub dials appear a bit smaller, but that could be attributed to the larger dial. The dial remains a slate grey, with updated hour markers and a cleaner use of dial text. There is a date display between four and five, as well as day and month apertures above the sub dials at three and nine. Joining the calendar, a moon phase display

Need advice on '93-'97 Seamaster 300m
I'm looking at a '93-'97 vintage Seamaster 300m 41mm. The watch does show normal signs of wear but is quite clean and unmolested. However, red pointer on the second hand is very faded and the face is a dark gray. My search did not turn up any evidence this watch was ever offered with a gray dial so I am assuming that it is faded rather than OEM a gray.Price is right on this watch but would like to hear thoughts on how this might affect value down the road..image.jpgimage.jpgThis later model Semaster has shown up at a local reseller. It is in as new condition and of course somewhat more expensive but in the scheme of things and in the long run which watch would have the most curb appeal to the Omega enthusiast...?Thanks for the input.

When did Rolex start this "SS & WG" thing?
If you go look at the 36 MM Datejust on the Rolex USA web site, you'll find four configuration options:https://.rolex/watches/dateju...l#configuratorSteelSteel & White GoldSteel & Yellow GoldSteel & Everose GoldThe Steel is the domed bezel. The Steel & White Gold is the same steel Datejust, but it has the same white gold fluted bezel that's always been available - and it was just called STEEL. I find this terribly misleading, because the pattern of the steel & yellow gold and steel & everose gold having the bezel AND actual gold center links on the bracelet would lead one to think that the steel and white gold model had white gold center links, when in fact they are simply polished steel. When did this semantic change occur, and does anybody else find it objectionable, even if it's technically correct?
