AD'S falling like 9 pins
2012 definately seems the year Omega will be implementing their No discount policy by taking away Omega watches from established AD's in favour of the Omega run Boutiques, which, as we know give no discounts. Within 100yds of a recently refurbished MINI Omega Boutique (section dedicated to Omega only watches but in the same premises that other brands are being sold) 2 massive AD's Goldsmiths and Frazer Hart have lost their Omega AD status in weeks of each other, leaving only the mini boutique to sell Omega watches locally. Needless to say the AD's are selling their stocks at really good prices to clear windows/stocks within a month or so, (I will be purchasing 2) which is all notice Omega gave them.......What away to treat loyal dealers who sold your goods for 16 years.

One thing I'm an absolute stickler on is wanting the heavier band with solid end links found starting on the P (2000) serials. Of course, Rolex then upgraded the clasp starting with the F serials a couple of years later. I actually had one of these on my previous DD that I could kick myself for selling. I was only 27, timid about all gold, and wanted to pay off my house, so the watch was sold. Needless to say, values have gone up substantially in the subsequent 10 years But I digress. What are your thoughts on the clasps of newer models with president bands? Is it substantial enough of a difference that it would be a deal breaker? Or a relatively

First Rolex, GMTII LN
Hi guys!After my initial post three months ago, the machine has arrived. I went for the LN instead of the Batman and I'm 100% happy with the choice. Photos just don't do it justice, it is incredible. Funny thing, ended up buying it in the same Rolex boutique where I once said I'm going to buy this watch one day, and with the same salesperson that was there at the time . There are things in life that aren't just coincidence. Guess I need to start working for the I'm going to buy this TT DJ w/ fluted bezel and black dial phrase mentioned at the AD Ahah, cheers guys!
