So today I put down a holding deposit on a .....

[spuds]

.... brand spanking new Submariner 16610LV!!
(AD's holding it for me for three months until I get my 'loyalty points' allocated & then I'll top up the balance with cash).

As some of you already know my ongoing plan here is to also buy a 16610 in the next quarter & the watches will eventually be passed down to my sons.



But here's the kicker.........

While I was in there I tried on two Omega Planet Oceans (45.5mm.... straight black bezel/black & white face and also the orange bezel/red quarter numbers) & 'loyalty points discount' or not I simply can't see that the Rolex is worth TWO Planet Oceans.



Now fellas don't burn me here OK?!
I'm historically one of THE biggest Rolex devotees & I only 'down-graded' to Omegas when my business hit hard times & we desperately needed all the cash we could get.....

But guys......
seriously......

Have you tried on & closely inspected those Planet Oceans?????

They really ARE beautiful & they have a HUGE 'presence' about them & that coated glass really is some clever ........
but as much as I LOVE & hanker after a coupla Roly's again I really can't see how ONE Sub's worth TWO P.O.'s........


Can YOU?????


(& Guys I'd LOVE you to sway me back again 'cos leavin' my boys an Omega [no matter how cool & great a value they were] just don't hit my sweet-spot like leavin' 'em a Sub' y'know?????)



& oh yeah here's another thing......

I found out only last night that my fourteen year old son wrote down all the details of the Explorer II that I sold.......
& kept the sheet of paper for best part of two years.



When his Mum found it while tidying up one day & asked him what it was he told her......
.... "When I make it..... I'm gonna buy Dad his Rolex back".

I mean Guys..... how ing cool is THAT huh?????
