2010 Olympic Edition
Has anyone bought the Seamaster olympic version? I would like to see some wrist shots if you have them.I really would like a white faced watch and the only real option (for a LONG time) is the Rolex Exp II which costs about $6800 here in Canada. I always found it a tad bit small and the Seamaster line to be just right.When I spoke to my AD he said that alot of people like the olympic version but dislike the red besel and olympic symbol on the second hand which apparently both can be changed.Let me know.

This is a cool watch...
...never owned one before, and being a Panerai guy, this watch is perfect. Love the 45mm size on the rubber strap and love the dial. I'm very impressed for sure.

312 misaligned hour hand - Panerai struggling to fix...
So I talked a watch neophyte buddy into buying from a Rock Solid trusted seller. He wanted an auto Pam and settled on the 312 after a year of thinking about it.Not long after buying the watch - and wearing it sparingly - he noticed the hour had was so misaligned...he could not tell if it was resting on the hour correctly or not.A local AD nicely sent it off to Panerai for him. Eight weeks pass and he gets a call saying the watch came back looking exactly the same...so back to Panerai. Now, nearly a month later Panerai QA calls the AD saying the hand is still misaligned. It's supposed to be back any day now.Is such a thing so difficult to fix?!?

Agonizing Wait for SD43 Ended Today.
I couldn't have handled the stress much longer - thankfully the wait is over.I visited AD Springer's Jewelers in Portsmouth, NH on 2/27. I've no purchase history at all with these folks. I was wearing my 5512. Every two - three months, their Rolex Rep visits. He was there on 2/27.They had one SD43, but it'd been ordered by another customer. The sales person said she'd order one for me, with a probable six to eight week delivery time. Then the Rep entered the discussion - very interested in my 5512 and obviously impressed I'd owned it fifty-two years. He said he'd get me an SD43, soon.I paid a 50% deposit, stopped at the drug store for a case of Tums, and went home to worry and read more TRF threads about unpleasant AD experiences and wait lists.Early this afternoon, 3/14 my sales person emailed four words, : Your watch is here. I was astounded. As it turned out, so were they. Les, the Rolex Rep kept his word.The SD43's not at Springer's now, because it's here at home, on my wrist. I'm

Honest opinion about 114060 AND 116710LN together
Hi guys, still playing with the idea of what to buy next.... I have a couple of options however also some ''struggles'' to go with one or each other. Some models i just simply don't like, a Explorer would be another great option but i have to go with the 40mm and i just don't like ''older'' watches, cause i buy them for myself only, and i don't like another his history on my wrist.If you could only own 2 rolexes, would a GMT master 2 with the black bezel and a 114060 no date make a good combo ? I know it is a bit boring perhaps, but the green hands, the date window the bezel and center links + green letters on dial and different functions makes it quite a different watch to me... and a plus point is that my girlfriend can wear one of them while we are out and makes a nice ''couple'' watch in 1.... Well at least, that is what i think... But i guess i would get negative comments of you guys as i guess you will find it to boring for just a 2 piece collection?Any pro's?Any con's?Would i be
