First Omega: Bond or 2055.80 + Questions

Questions:

1. Are there any technical differences between these watches? Specs looked the same at the Omega page.

2. The Bond face looked gray at the Jewelry store (lighting?) -- I don't like the gray look. Odd, since it looks very blue in the pictures seen on the net. The new blue face/silver bezel 2055.80 looks very much more blue.

3. Is resale on the Bond better? The jewelry salesman said the 2055.80 is likely to go after this year, while the Bond is here forever. Is that statement accurate?

4. I have a small wrist, but I still love the watch. Think I can stick with the full-size, or is that just silly given the size of the watch? As you can tell from the model #s, I'm looking at autos.

5. Did I miss any differences between these watches?

6. www.Ashford.com ?? I understand they leave the S/N in tact. What happens if the S/N is removed by a dealer, such as worldwatches.com??

7. Ideas on what Bond will wear in the future? This will not change my preferences, but it is interesting info for resale, etc...

8. When is the new model year typically introduced?

9. When is the big watch show(s)? I suppose this will relate to the answer in #8.

Really appreciate the help.

Regards, Mark
