Opinions on a new strap...
Ok so I went into the local AP boutique and looked at a few straps of which they can sell me NONE! Order only as the ones on display are not for sale... leaving a little disgruntled I went into a AP dealer across the road and they had a few in stock (black , black rubber , usual etc..) however they had a special customer order white hornback that the customer changes his mind on. Now I was looking for a white rubber to put on my Safari but the white hornback has my attention now.....Thoughts on what a white hornback would look like on my Safari? Keeping in mind mine is the previous model with cream dial

Longing for (another) Speedmaster Pro
So, long story short, last year I finally added a 3570.50 to 16 year old SMP 300 diver. I really loved it... But not for a daily wear due to the lack of date and, to some extent, due to the relative fragility of the hesalite that marks quite easily. Also, I was not smitten with the daily manual winding. In a course of two months, the watch stopped at least a twice, whenever that had never happened to me over the previous 16 year. I thus decided to get a Rolex BLNR as it suits my daily lifestyle that includes overseas trips and also has historical relevance in aeronautics AND decided to sell the Speedy to my brother to enable him such a fine time piece.I love my BLNR... But I am starting to develop a (serious) itch to add back a Speedy pro in my collection. I am note sure if I should get another 3570.50 (or whatever the new reference number is with the large display case) or if I should aim for a serious vintage piece (ie, one with a cal. 321). May be even one that is a worthy limited e

Noob Question.. Do you dive with your OP is position 1?
I feel like this thing should screw down tight no?I read the book it SEEMS to say you dive with it in position 1.....I can push the crown down against the watch, but screwing lightly has no effect (that's' what she said) for it staying in (What she said again lol)

Oh wow. I just pulled the pin on a Datejust 41 grenade and now I have DJ41 awesomeness all over my office. I had originally reached out to a few ADs that I have worked with and all three gave me fairly lame offers for such. I decided it was time to test the Grey Water, so to speak. Not going to lie, that was a bit unnerving at first, wiring a wad of cash to a guy you don't know, based on the recommendation from a bunch of people you don't know (TRFers). But DavidSW is, in fact, the man. I have read many, many posts where many of you have assured other new comers that all will be well. True story, all is well. Thanks all.Check out these bad daddies. A pair of 126334s, blue with jubilee, so smoking hot, and an exquisite white on oyster reference. Very pleased to say the least.

A Question of Taste
Is a diamond bezel on a men's all-stainless steel Rolex a bit on the tacky side? .swiss-wrist/men-s-rol...nd-16014-model
