The First Rolex Oyster Watch From 1926
What you see are the two versions of the very first Rolex Oyster watch, in other words, the world's first water-resistant timepiece. It was proven on the wrist of a swimmer, and when it was released in 1926 it was a rather big deal. The origin of the Oyster name is rather straightforward, borrowed from the sea-dwelling mollusk of the same name, and has been a hallmark of Rolex ever since.

Hard decision between Ap Diver 15706AU & Ap Chrono 26022BA

Breitling Claspd

(Much much heavier than my Rolex and Omega)Not sure if this topic came up before, It it possible to fit the Pro II Bracelet to the New Breitling Push Button Clasp?Would this not be the ideal combination? Security and easy adjustments.Maybe I should ask AD.Any thoughts?

First Patek Incoming
Finally my first Patek incoming. Was originally thinking about getting a Nautilus but tried one on at a local AD they are just too large for my tiny 6 inch wrist. Turned out really well though as I saw this 5146g on TRF. Worked the deal out with Takuya really smooth trade and received it today. The cream dial looks even better in person than the pictures. What to get next?

Showing Off????
