Off to the spa...
Well ye olde hair spring broke on my 15300...only 3 years since the last movement service. Long enough to be out of warranty. Only choice is a full service...I also opted for a case refinishing. It will be the second as I bought the Watch pre-owned.Afraid I didn't take any before pics. But truth be told, there were only some small dents on the bezel edge and scuffs on the case chamfers and one lug hole. Bracelet had a few scuffs on the brush marks as well. The watch maker gave no warnings of refinishing dangers...So, I figured YOLO...It will be nice to have a new watch in 11 weeks or so!

Not that anyone knows but is there any rumors of a 5164R in October??

PM and sizing
When I picked up my Plat Daytona earlier this week AD recommended setting the adjustment in the clasp one notch tighter than my SS Daytona due to the increased weight. SS was very comfortable - this isn't bad but feels different. Is sizing down a good move? Am I just not used to the weight yet? Others with experience - did u size differently with PM vs SS with same watch?

3 watches, 3 continents - no more rolex for me
With a new watch box in for Christmas I got the collection together for a small group snap. These represent half of the Collection with the other half covering, Complications & other brands.In looking at the Rolex however it struck me that the expression I’m done is often used on TRF however my Rolex journey is well and truly over and I thought I’d share the snap on TRF.The DD2 was bought from a certain DavidSW in the US and will soon reach its 5th year birthday. It’s the oldest watch in my collection and a promised heirloom to my daughter. It will never leave the collection. It’s still the most comfortable watch I own and I cannot remember lusting after a watch so much when it was released. The SD4k was purchased in Asia, it’s my daily go to watch and promised to my son on graduation from University. It will be with me for 3 more years but the intention is it will go to him with a short but meaningful history and both noteable and relatable memori
