Watch What-If: Rolex Submariner
"Watch What-If" is a special column on aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer that asks the playful question "what if an iconic watch you know and love was offered in a different style?" The idea embraces a good timepiece's core design and has fun by offering new colors and material concepts to stimulate your senses. These ideas may be provocative, artistic, or just plain silly. This is about fun, Photoshop, and the celebration of wrist watch design and experimentation. The original design we work off will always be at the bottom of the article. Ideas and comments are more than welcome. Enough response may even lead to a round two of design. You are also encouraged to suggest watches that make it into the Watch What-If section here on aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer.Watch What-Iffed: Rolex Submariner Ref 116610

SMP, blue or black?
Hi, I am planning to buy an Omega, SMP co-axial is one of my favorites. I have some questions and need your advice ^^ I can't decide Black or Blue SMP. Black: I like this color more, it can be casual or formal. Blue: This color is more classic, an icon color. But Blue seems casual, not as versatile as Black. Questions are: 1. Whether James Bond ever wear Black SMP? Or Bond only wears Blue? 2. The bracelet of SMP is without fine adjustment. Would this bracelet fit your wrist without any difficulties, by using the half link? A few SMP owners are complaining about the bracelets are either too loose or too tight, even using the half link. 3. Which color your suggest? I tend to choose Black, but I also think Blue is good. :P Sorry for so many questions. For your reference, I attach a pic as above. The left two are what I am considering. It is borrowed. I am quite headache about these two colors. I really need your advice. ^^

Thoughts on the panerai 562 as a first panerai
Good morning gentlemen,I am a big fan of rolex but lately I seem to be attracted to panerai. I have a chance to acquire a new 562 but I am on the fence about it. I am not really careful with my watches and I love wearing them in all the time. My rolex watches have held up quite well and even cosmetically there are no really large marks on them despite having had a few close calls. I wonder if the 562, being made of titanium, will wear as well? I have read conflicting statements about how titanium watches hold their own against scratches (some say they scratch easily, while others claim self healing properties) so I thought I ask the group what their experience has been. This will be my first panerai and I would like this to be a keeper. Cheers, Carlos

PAM 320 durability? help!
I'm about to purchase a watch, either a pam320 or a rolex submariner. I like the submariner but the pam sings to me more. This will be my first watch. I plan on purchasing the one in the not so distant future. What's holding me back is the durability of the in house movement, P9XXX series. What's your feedback on it?I like how the submariner has this durable 3135 movement but do you think it's all marketing? Is the pam movement as durable as the 3135? I just dont like that the pam320 does not have a perpetual calendar.
