For All Mankind - Some Questions
Just finished watching the excellent film documentary For All Mankind on DVD. I'd thoroughly recommend it for any space buffs with the added bonus of some cool Speedy wrist shots ;-)I have a couple of questions. Some of the astronauts appeared to have their Speedies on SS mesh bracelets. How did they swap them back to Velcro straps for EVA work during the flight? I have enough trouble swapping straps with a lug tool and screwdriver with the aid of gravity (or was bracelet swapping part of standard NASA training?!)?Also, why do the earth orbit EVA shots 15min or so in look like something out of a Ray Harryhausen movie? I'm a total Apollo anti-cynic, but I have to admit this footage looks a little ropey. Is it the film frame rate?One last question. What music would you have chosen to play on the way? My choice - Elton John 'Rocket Man' (cliche, I know)

Incoming...5167a!
Well, I'm officially hooked! Second Patek Philippe from my AD, and in less than three months! Received my 5711/1a at the first of the year, and now just received my 5167a!I know at first glance these two are similar pieces with the movement, size, and bezel. But they wear and look very different in the flesh. And this may be sacrilegious to say, but I think I like the 5167 even more than the 5711! It doesn't photograph as well as the Nautilus, but it's stunning in person! I wear shorts, t-shirts/polos and flip flops most every day and the Aquanaut goes with that lifestyle perfectly. Needless to say, I couldn't be happier! Coupled with my 114060, I think I'm set (for a while, haha!) with my 3 watch mini-collection. And this forum has been so educational and knowledgeable about brands and references, without being condescending to others with different opinions. I appreciate the insight and I'm grateful to be a member here on TRF!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pepsi GMT v TT RG GMT
Ok, so now the initial excitement of Basel 18 has started to calm down I have been really struggling with something...We all know the new SS Pepsi GMT is going to be THE watch of 2018/19 that's a given.I admit, like many many others around here, as soon as it was confirmed, I was straight on the phone to my AD to get on 'the list'However, the more I look at pictures and YouTube videos I'm starting to have second thoughts!Why? well I can't decide whether I want one because I actually do genuinely WANT one or because I'm caught up in all the forum hype and I only really THINK I want one because I know that everybody else will want one and therefore purely by default I should want one too???Is it just me or does anyone else feel that way?Here's the thing.Although I appreciate its older brother the BLNR, I've never actually been drawn to it enough to take the plunge and hand over my hard earned cash to fill the need to own one.Why then am I on the list for the new Pepsi version?This is th

Survey: GMT with Jubilee
It seems that a group of people love to have the GMT with jubilee strap and a group of people think Oyster strap is for GMT.

If you were buying a new Rolex today, SS, 2 tone or solid PM?
And why?
