Dievas Shadow Review
Since we started w&w, Dievas has been a brand we've kept an eye on. They don't come out with new products that often, but when they do, they tend to be interesting. Since the release of the very popular Vortex model, they've been on a tactical watch kick that recently reached an apex with the introduction of super-hardened steel cases. By making this step into the world of over-engineered super-tough watches, they've gotten into the territory of brands that typically cost quite a lot more. Their newest watch, the Shadow, not only offers high end components and machining that earns the "Made in Germany" label, it has a look that is altogether unique, balancing the sinister dark of a phantom with the legibility of fluorescent markings and hands. At $1,430, the Shadow is an easy and exciting way into the world of tactical watches that though costing several hundred to thousands less than similar watches, doesn't cut corners to save or disappoint.Case:? 6Steel BlackMovement: ETA 2824-2

Little scratches on bezel side near crown from setting time / screwing in crown?
Am I the only one this happens to?On your RO, especially if you have a screw in crown, unlike the 15202, the polished side of the bezel has small hairline scratches.They aren't really noticeable and they don't bug me, but I can't be the only one this happens to!I barely have nails too!

Rolex monitor grey market?
There have been some interesting threads here recently about 'flipping' and subsequent consequences (for AD and staff). I'm just curious - do you think Rolex SA or AD's monitor sales threads, or use other means to 'follow' recently sold watches? In the absence of a warranty claim its hard to imagine how they could.... I'd be interested in peoples views......
