Seiko Sportura Kinetic Diver Watch Winner Follow-Up
Winner of the Seiko Sportura Kinetic Diver watch shares his thoughts and some pictures of himself enjoying the watch. Thanks Jason and enjoy!Words from the winner on this Seiko:"There is a lot to love in this watch, considering the retail price of $595: sapphire crystal, ratcheting clasp on the bracelet, a blackened-steel bezel, solid end-link bracelet, and a set it and forget it kinetic movement.The fit and feel of the case, bezel and bracelet are what you would expect from Seiko - solid.The design is a big plus - not a Submariner or Seamaster clone, but a unique design.The watch is big - bigger than I usually wear on my 6.5" wrist (see the comparison shot with my Rolex GMTIIC); however, because of the downward angle of the lugs, I can still just barely pull it off without having the watch hang over the edges of my wrist.I had been looking for a nice, rugged, quartz diver to wear on weekends - something I didn't have to set every Saturday morning, and I think this Seiko fits the bill

AP AD Vs Grey Dealer
I have been waiting quite a while for a piece I recently put a full deposit down from an AP AD. I was originally promised it would be here within 1-8 weeks once the full deposit was made. Seeing as how it has now been 10 weeks since the date of deposit, I have been constantly questioning the validity of the promise. Playing the waiting game makes me look into other outlets and now I am wondering what are the pros and cons of purchasing from an AD vs a trusted grey dealer. From what I can come up with:Pros of obtaining a piece from an AD:-Specific watch will be 100% original, no chance of an aftermarket part swap-Warranty from AD to last 5 years (since 2017)Pros of obtaining a piece from a grey dealer:-Don't have to wait for the watch as it may be in stock-Price may be lower than an AD since they are more willing to play ballBetween the points that I have listed, is there anything that I have missed? Although I noted that the warranty may last for 5 years from an AD, if purchased within

People noticing you're wearing an AP
I'm sure this has been posted many times before, so apologies in advance!How often do people notice you've got an AP on? I assume those of you working in banking/finance have it happen more regularly, but I've only ever had one person comment on mine and the first question was 'is that a fake'

So Dufour was a fan of Dato. What did George Daniels wear? Apparently the greatest mo

Submariner Parts Compatibility
Greetings TRF! I am in the market for my first Rolex watch I have always wanted a TT Submariner. I also am far more attracted to Submariners with no date. Sadly, I don't beileve Rolex makes a TT Submariner no date.My new thought is to buy a Submariner 14060 and swap out the bezel, dial, insert, crown and handset for those same 18k yellow gold parts from a Submariner 16803, 16808, 16613, or any other TT (yellow gold) Rolex Submariner. I have a couple questions regarding this and I hope you nice folks on TRF can point me in the right direction.Question 1: Does Rolex make a TT Submariner no date?Question 2: Are those parts on a Sub 16803, 16808, 16613, or any other TT Sub going to compatible with the parts on a Sub 14060?Thanks in advance for all your help TRF!- AlLos Angeles, California
