Here are some words from Synaptyx on his designs:Recently, there has been a big push in Superhero movies, and there are tie-ins in every market. I thought why not a versatile Tudor watch for Superheroes, Super-villains, and Super-spies. This line of thinking lead me to the drawing board and back to the Tudor Black Bay that I wanted to see, but with a twist.

Guide To Buying Your First Rolex Part 2: What To Buy
What To Buy')">Recently, we spoke with the Rolex boutique in Beverly Hills, and they confirmed that Rolex has about 2,000 SKUs even though there are only a few product families to choose from. That effectively means that there are tons of available Rolex watches to choose from. And that doesn't even include Rolex's rather intense catalog of vintage and no-longer-produced models.Many people know they want a Rolex watch but aren't sure what model to get.

So let's take a brief look at what Rolex watches are available, and how to satisfy the various reasons you may have to buy one.What Are You Looking For?As we discussed in Part 1 of the Guide To Buy

Does anyone own non-Royal Oaks?
Having been around here for a bit, I've noticed that no one ever posts incomings of anything but a Royal Oak or Offshore. No one ever discusses models other than the Royal Oak.Is AP really all just about the Royal Oak line? Why is there no love for any of the models in other lines? I think some of them are pretty stunning - I really like the Millenary line. But maybe for the same reasons it's not as popular - e.g. bad resale values in comparison to the Royal Oak, I'm hesitant to pick one up.I know that AP really jumped in popularity through the Royal Oak line - and to some degree Patek has become more popular with the Nautilus/Aquanaut lines, yet despite them occupying a disproportionate proportion of incoming threads, their non-Nautilus and Aquanaut lines still seem very strong relative to AP.

Bent/Angled Second Hand on my 14060M
Hi Everyone, New to this world and am fascinated by it. Recently picked up an M serial 14060M sub (absolutely in love with it) and noticed that the second hand looks like it's slightly bent or angled up in comparison to the minute hand. Attaching some photos from above and a side angle to help show the best that I could. Is this normal? Should I be concerned and have a watchmaker fix it or is that more of a risk to try to flatten/correct the second hand?
