A Week On The Wrist: The Rolex Yachtmaster 40mm With New Oysterflex Bracelet
There is big news, and there is Rolex big news, and in some ways, ne'er the twain shall meet. At Baselworld this year, Rolex debuted a first for the company: the very first, ever, Rolex delivered on a rubber strap. Now, for most companies this would have little effect on watch enthusiasts other than to evoke (very) tepid interest at best, and boredom at worst – but this is not an ordinary rubber strap, this is an official, designed-and-tested-and-thoroughly-obsessed-over-by-Rolex rubber strap. And thereby hangs a tale. 1 OF 7 The Yachtmaster, as we have mentioned in some of our previous coverage, occupies a somewhat particular place in Rolex’s lineup of sports watches; it shares water-resistance and a turning bezel with the Submariner (the latter is water resistant to 300 m while the Yachtmaster standard model is water resistant to 100 m).

BLUE: AT 2503.80 and Rolex 116234 DateJust
List,I have been looking for my first luxury watch for my 50th b-day/25th anniversary. I am drawn towards the 2503.33 (white with blue markers), but have never seen or been able to try one on to be sure that is is the one.Recently, however, I was traveling in another city and walked into a Rolex dealer on a whim. The saleslady and I struck up a conversation and she brought out new old stock Rolex 116234 datejust with the blue dial and stick markers. It had the most beautiful blue dial I have ever seen. I put it on and found I almost could not take my eyes off it. The shop has had it for some time and wants to sell, so she was willing to give me 25% off. This makes the price for a brand new DJ at around $5k.I know that Omega made the 2500 AT in a blue dial/silver hands version, but I have only seen pictures of it. Likewise it has not been made in awhile, so any one of these I find is going to be used and (may) need service.Question: Does anyone have experience with the 2503.80 bl

Omega Service: Good or Bad?
Hi everyone!Just want ask what is everyone's opinion/experience with Omega Service Centres? I bought a pre-owned ladies MOP Aqua Terra which I have just gifted to my sister. The watch was originally bought in the US in 2005 (I live in the UK) and is now going back to the US to my sister in San Francisco. It had a full service 18 months ago by by qualified watchmaker here in the UK. I just wonder should my sister want to have it fully serviced in the future, is it worth her sending it to Omega USA? I have read that Omega's customer service on the whole is not always consistent and I wonder what are others' experience is like. Thanks!Wen
