The New Royal Oak Line
Well it seems like the new royal oak line is out. It still is the same 2385 caliber. I thought there was likely going to be a new in house caliber announced this year. The metal color combinations are nice. Gold with blue dial is my favorite. i actually liked having the numerals at the seconds marker. I am disappointed those were removed. These are all novelty items as well so I guess that means boutique only. Comes with gold bracelet or strap. Also steel version... Any thoughts?

I had been researching Oysterquartz again after having owned one or two for a short time a few years ago. I flipped them both and made a few bucks, but recently was thinking it would be nice to have one again. Prices on listings in the FS section here were in the $3000 range and even higher on Ebay.

Fast forward a few weeks.I managed to get my hand on a beautiful 17000 for way less ($2000), and with the dial that I was looking for...white roman. At that price, I couldn't say no. I am traveling to NY in 2 weeks and will have it inspected and have the battery changed at Rolex NY. I have already opened the caseback and inspected the movement...also saw at least 5 watchmaker marks on the caseback spanning the last 40 years. The serial dates the watch to 1978 so it is an early 17000. Tough to b
