7000 Fake Rolexes Steamrolled in Philadelphia
U.S. Customs authorities oversaw the destruction of about 7000 counterfeit Rolex watches at a contractor’s site in Philadelphia. The fakes met their fate under a multi-ton double-drum steamroller, which ran over the watches about 10 times. Customs officials staged the destruction to highlight law enforcement’s role in protecting intellectual property rights. The watches were seized from Binh Cam Tran who is serving six years in federal prison after being convicted of trafficking in counterfeit goods, conspiracy, and nine counts of money laundering. Binh was also ordered to pay Rolex USA $2,273,166 in restitution.Authorities say Binh fabricated hundreds of thousands of fake Rolex watches in his home near Philadelphia. Officials seized about 24,000 counterfeit watches, and enough parts to create 1 million more.Photo: Steve Sapp – U.S. Customs and Border Protection

Aquanaut 5167a Strap Options?
The 5167a comes as standard with a black rubber strap. I see there's also a green strap on a special edition, and possibly a brown strap available as well?Has anyone got photos of their steel 5167 on these straps?Thanks

Black bay dark
Good day TRF,I have been thinking to add the tudor black bay dark for a while. I really like the idea of having all black watch for a change. I think it is fun and out of the normal steel / pm regular looks. It would be used as part of a rotation and mostly in weekends and casual occasions. I checked few options in breitling and Panerai but honestly the BB dark was the one that spoke to me most. I also like the black shield from tudor specially due to the fact that it is made of ceramic and it looks very cool. But what hesitates me of going the black shield route are: the ETA movement as opposed to bb dark's in house, the lack of bracelet (I prefer bracelets over straps) and the poor resale value. On the other hand, I keep reading that the pvd coating of the BB dark will get scratches and will look very bad in short time. I am usually careful with my watches but you never know. So I want opinions / experiences of bb dark owners here and recommendations of all are welcome. Thank you.
