QUOTE(nando @ Jan 15 2010, 02:21 PM) no problem. let me know the outcome. yours is the 46mm Aviator right? Bracelet? I checked with another forum called Watch Talk Forums and one member mentioned that apparently Ball made those changes on the Aviator based on customers' feedback. Many customers preferred the date numerals on the Aviator to be black numerals on white background as they are easier on the eyes. I'm not too sure...but that is also what the supplier (Ball Malaysia) said when I asked them. Anyway, I've just posted the same question on watchuseek as you have recomended. Mine is a 46mm with stainless steel bracelet...forRM3.9k.

http://www.passions.com.sg/v2/watch/omega-...nometer-steel-1anyone can comment if this pricing is good? anyone deals with Passions before? the web state that they do give 3% discount if pay by cash. Can the price advertised on the web be negotiated?
