HourTime Show Podcast Episode 5 - Bell & Ross Goes Electric + Some Buying Tips
This is a good show in term of content, but the recording was done while I lost my voice, and while John was in China (he couldn't even test to see if we posted it online properly because the Internet is so heavily censored in China!). So pardon our oddities or faintness in sound. Just turn that volume way up! Enjoy folks.We talk about the "Grey Market" for watches, watch companies' animosity toward allowing you to buy online, and the Internet's and Bell & Ross' role in changing what the Watch Grey Market looks like.? The new, thinnest Pathfinder PAW-2000 from Casio with satellite syncing, auto-illumination and much more that makes it a go-to outdoor watch.? We then complain about watch accessories that are as expensive or more expensive than the watches themselves.? We then introduce the concept of Febreezing your nylon straps.? John puts forth some knowledge about GMT watches.Listen to HourTime episode 5 at HourTimeShowwatches-dealer here.Or, download/stream the .mp3 here.

ROO Panda 26400 SS or RG Rubberclad 42
After owning a SS Diver 2x, a volcano, and 15400 3x, I wanted to give one of these a shot. I liked the volcano the most out of the above models but just too much orange in the end so off it went. This will be a pretty much a daily piece. I would be looking at the Rubber Clad with the newer style dial if that sways you one way or another. I know the 44's wear much larger than the 42's. Any thoughts or wrist shots would be greatly appreciated!

Buying Omega from GM...
I love the Omega Aqua Terra but the $$ at an AD is 2800 plus taxes. Alanfurman price is around 1,800 no taxes. I would not buy a Rolex from an AD. I bought my SM from Tournau but for being a Rolex itself it justify peace of mind. Can I buy confident the I am receiving an genuine non altered (serial # removed) from Alanfurman???Seems to be a really good company to do business with..

Trade my 368 for a 217...
The 217 has invaded my mind Considering trading my 368(+$) for a 217...similarities47mm1950 caseDial layoutDestroDomed crystalGold handsLimited to 1000 unitsDifferences8 day vs 3 dayIn house mvmt vs. ETA based OPX1Ti case vs. SS caseTobacco dial vs. black dialLuminor vs. Marina Militare printed on dial(Not my pic)I love everything about the 368, the 8 day movement, the case material, size, and design. I don't like the 8 Days printed on the dial. I love the history of the 217, and the Marina Militare on the dial...My 368 may increase in value, in several years. The 217 has doubled in value in 6+ years and holding steady. It would probably take my 368 plus the $$ I've saved for the new Exp2 to buy a 217...Or maybe just keep saving and have both....Anyone else compare these 2? What did you decide?Thanks
