From a licensing standpoint it might be better to use just the state of Texas around 12 instead of saying "12th". Don't see any issues otherwise, the Pantone codes they've used are not A&M's official codes (Aggie maroon, known as Reveille's Bark, is 7421C).
Thank you! I'll make that change as well.

As for the 12th, everyone voted to have the superscript "th". How in the heck do I find out if that is a trademark violation? I can't get anyone to answer my calls and emails.

Oris makes a nice maroon dial aquis. That's the one I would go with. Not sure if we have discussed it here or not

But I haven't seen in person. In pics it sometimes looks maroon sometimes more red
seen it in person...I like it, but something about it looks too plasticky. I have it on my list though.

I might have been less grossed out if you told us you were looking for the right way to ask your cousin on a date.

I raised an eyebrow too...I'd have to see a Sub on a jubilee bracelet to make a final determination but it doesn't sound like it should look good to me.

Do you have a $200 version of the 12th man watch?

He's paying for it. I don't see why it matters unless he actually plans on diving with it since they stretch easier. If he likes the Jubilee he should get it. I'd probably recommend it in addition to the regular bracelet for resale or incase he changes his mind.

I feel like this looks good but I'm impressionable and y'all can probably convince me otherwise!

Definitely want one of these. I hope you can get enough commitments to pull the trigger.

No, but we've been thinking about providing some financing options. Would that sway you?

With this particular deal, we're asking for 50% up front and 50% on delivery.

After years with my Submariner, I finally got it fit just right. Don't know why it didn't occur to me to move the half link to the other side, but that did the trick. It's now fantastic.

I know. Dear diary post. Just couldn't believe how much a difference it made.

This just came in to my AD, and I traded my Kermit and cash towards it.

I did not like the solid gold speedmaster but this one looks beautiful. I should get it next week.

Didn't you just get the Kermit? Why move it?

They offered me a bunch for it in lieu of discount. Apparently Omega is really hitting their AD's hard on anything over 10%

Definitely support the trade if so.

That's cool. I don't see how that would make a difference, but glad it worked.

The hulk was a large reason behind the decision to flip but I sold the hulk a while ago, actually "catching the falling knife" so to speak but in reverse. I think I sold it for around $27k at the height of the madness.

The kermit is a cool watch but has nowhere near the presence of the hulk. The black on green doesn't look that great together.

It was because the problem was so minor but nagging. The half link switch was just right.

I wonder if they're worried about the scarcity and growing value of Rolex and Tudor. Rolex held production numbers while Omega are not hard to find and did the cheap swatch release.

Are we really acting like the still wildly popular, among watch and non watch people, moonswatch somehow hurt the value of a real speedy or Omega in general?

Seems Omega is concerned about the value of their products.

$2,600 later, I have my watch back. It was going to need to have a "service" in a couple of years so I just had them do it now.

MAP is not uncommon.

If I'm a smaller watch/jewelry store why would I carry Omega if I know the larger store across town is just going to undercut me by 5-10% but sell more units.

If Omega was worried about how Rolex impacted their sells they could also cut production.

No one looks down their nose at BMW because Maybach is more limited production.

Rolex is in no way Maybach
