RO or Sub for a college kid? :)
So, I work as a professor at a small private university abroad. The institution is well-known locally to be elite in nature to the degree that it seems every third 19 year old is sporting a stainless sub they probably got for HS graduation. The other day I am giving an exam and I look down to see a kid furiously writing with a basic 41mm Royal Oak on his wrist. I'll admit I was a bit disgusted at first....but then gave it some thought. The kid probably chose this watch knowing that VERY few of his sub-wearing buddies would know what the thing is. He didn't buy it for flash but rather precisely because it was, to some degree more under the radar in his peer group. When the exam was finished, the kid walked by, turned in his exam, and wanted to know when the grades would be posted.

New Power Reserve!
Finally got my Power Reserve. Had a 104 but it drove me crazy when I would not wear it for a bit (don't use winders) and it would be out of gas.

Datejust 116200 oyster clasp
New to the forum, here to ask a question about a concern over my datejust 116200 oyster clasp. I tried to pull out the easy link extension but forgot which part of the clasp the extension was located, I basically pulled on the part that anchors to close the clasp only to realize a few seconds later that The easy link extension was on the opposite side. My question is, how strong/durable is the side of the clasp that I pulled, physically the clasp is working fine but would like to hear anyone who knows more about it.
