Graham Geo.Graham The Moon Watch
A sky-style dial in deep blue and 18k pink gold is a very pretty thing in this new Geo.Graham The Moon watch by Graham. "Geo" stands for "George" who is the Graham guy that the brand is named after. George Graham was a British watch and clock maker from the 17th century. Even as the brand of today is totally Swiss, they still like to celebrate the English heritage of their namesake.This new timepiece is a lovely limited edition and quite high-end for Graham. Only 10 or 20 pieces will be produced (the press release and technical specs seem to disagree on the point of how many will be made), but its stunning design is certainly worth talking about. The watch begins with an impressively sized 46mm wide case (which is actually not large at all given the brand's Swordfish and Chronofighter collection of watches) in 18k pink gold. There is a blue sapphire cabochon in the crown - a not uncommon feature in watches but I always appreciate them. It also goes along nicely with the blue theme.The

Waterproof strap for radiomir?
I have started looking at the radiomir cased Panerais with the wire lugs and have a simple question. Are there waterproof straps available for them? I am not going to dive with it, but I do like to have a strap that can take anything. Leather is out of the question. Rubber would be fine, I use that on my 176. But some other material that you don't need to dry if it gets wet would also be fine, maybe nylon? I guess they all take 26mm straps? I googled it but it seems that I could only find straps for springbars, will they also be usable with the wire lugs? I assume you loosen the screws on the backside, slide the wires out, and then remove the wires somehow from the strap?

DJ II plus cash for Bluesy?
Need some input.. Thinking of trading my Blue Roman DJ2 with fluted bezel plus 6k cash for a BNIB Bluesey Two Tone sub 116613LB. I currently have the DJ2, a 116610LV Hulk, and a Pam 233. Every time I wear my DJ2 I lust after the Hulk, and wish I wore the sub, but certainly appreciate a sunburst blue dial. Enter the Bluesy. Tried one on and it ticks all of my boxes, and will most likely be used for dressier occasions, that I would've otherwise rocked the DJ2. For work I'm regularly in a suit or scrubs. My only fear is having a collection of 3 with 2 of 3 being subs. The DJ adds a nice dressy component and change of style, so do you all feel that the 2-Tone can handle the task? Would love some opinions! Thanks!
