5146G-001 Purchase/Ordering Question
Is the 5146G-001 a piece that would be readily available from an AD or boutique; or is it something that would need to be ordered with a wait list? I'm thinking of pulling the trigger but before I go into the boutique I'm wondering what my expectations should be on timing. Not sure how in demand this model is at the moment, although it strikes me as a classic. Thanks for any thoughts.

The 5170 photographs well but seems unusually soft on the secondary market. Any thoughts from owners of the 5170j or 5170g why this might be?I know the predecessor 5070, now considered iconic by many, also had a rather rocky start. Curious to hear from current/past owners, especially of the original 5170j, what you liked or didn't like about this reference. It's been about 7 years now since its release and I'm baffled by its seemingly lukewarm appeal.Edit: sorry, typo in the header - should be 5170

Rolex YM40 116622 owners - thoughts?

I already have the rhodium dial for an OP39 so part of me thinks having the blue dial would be a good choice.The rhodium dial, however, looks great too - especially with that cyan highlights! It's an obvious like as I have something similar already. When side by side, it looks like the sportier bigger brother to the OP which I quite like.I have a few questions that may help me settle, especially from those who have owned one or both for a while:1) Does the dial colour change after time for either? I have seen some pics where the blue dial looks dark and has lost it's luster - can't tell if that's an age thing or a lighting/photo thing? Suppose the latter but want to confirm.2) Does anyone know the history of the dials? Some interesting facts and the date of introduction? For example, i know the rhodium dial is found on the YM37 and the YM40 but is newer than the blue dial (introduced 2012??).3) Any
