The “good old days”....Veronica Moser, the Teutonic Titwillow
This time the insides are the cheese.I genuinely can't tell: is that supposed to be another one of their prank watches, or are they trying to be serious? ?
No. But I spent a week there in January. Spent 6 weeks in Indo. Loved it and will be back. Currently in Philippines.Ooo i know exactly where this is....are you based in December?
If you read my previous post it's as I said, my mother just connected with my AD who liked her story. I know it sounds weird, but that's literally just how it happened.
It was global. We, down here, got another price hike, too.You also lucked out in getting your BLRO on Christmas Eve. I popped into a local Rolex AD who mentioned they had a price increase on January 1st on all watches (not sure if it was just in the US or worldwide). New prices are on Rolex's website. No date Sub went from $7,500 to $7,900. An Explorer II is now $8,350, Hulk is now $9,500, a BLRO is now $9,700, and a steel Daytona is $13,150.

Worldwide. The rose gold datejust that my wife had her eye on went up a little10%. And just a couple of months ago an AD in Kuala Lumpur was offering it at a 10% discount. I’m basically going to end up paying about 25% more for the same watch. Gives credence to the old “you snooze; you lose” saying.You also lucked out in getting your BLRO on Christmas Eve.

I think that it's one of Omega's more charming over-designs. I often wonder whether they have a design team at all, or whether it's just a bunch of regular staff who know various facets of watchmaking, but don't have any formal design training, throwing ideas at a wall. This is not 100% out of the question, btw. I know a number of clothing brands that pretty much do just this, with mixed results. And when I say "mixed results", it's not a euphemism. Not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes they come out with great designs like the Speedy Tuesday or the Mitsukoshi dial. Sometimes, you end up with Franklin Mint x Omega looking collaborations - which is ugly by any objective standard, and nearly unusable, but it's not going to get lost in the crowd either.Bought this. Five seconds later, I was like “why the **** did I buy this? I hate it.” Now I put it on a strap. Kind of dig it. View attachment 1316843
