Scratched my Panda
Hi all, I have scratched the bezel on my Panda. Its a silver line about 5mm in length. I cannot feel it with my nail but it seems to have polished off the brushed effect and is now shiny silver. Sound familiar ? I had started to think this was just inevitable but having seen some pictures from the forum of other members watches with no scratches I am now thinking I should get this repaired. ( ia m unlucky) I take grate care of it and have no idea how its been done.Please can you advise of the options open to me ?
Question about Speedy with leather bracelet
I want to find out if the model 3570.50 is delivered with brown leather bracelet and if so what is the number to identify it and start looking for this model. Thank you friends.
Speedmaster 9300
Received the new 9300 Speedmaster. It does not sit as high on the wrist as some commentators opined. It is actually very comfortable on the stainless steel. Be careful when taking the screws out to size the bracelet as they are very small, and both sides have to be taken out to remove the sleeve. Very legible dial, and supposedly water resistant down to 330 feet for whomever was asking the question about swimming in their Speedy, although the owner's manual suggests rinsing it off if you have been in Seawater, and not using the chrono buttons under water. My first day, so too soon to tell, particularly for a Rolex guy, but this one seems like a terrific watch right out of the box.
Rolex / Watch Storage
How do you store your watch collection at home? In the past I've seen some pretty cool watch safes but they are a bit pricey. Also looking to see how others safeguard their investments.
Romans w black stripe
I have a ref 118239 and on close inspection the hands have a black stripe on the centerline (no lume). Under my loupe each roman numeral has a black line. The newer watches do not have these it seems.Was this something done for certain years?
