Let's play a little game today and see how far it keeps going. Post pics of your Divers with black and white backgrounds. No other colors are allowed in the pic. Here I go. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1360959162.931429.jpgSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk. Watches are the new currency!

What do you think of the new SkyRacer Raven?
Well Breitling's wonderful design staff has come up with a new design for the SkyRacer Raven LE...I'm not sure if they teamed up with the Playdough or Crayola folks when they designed these, but thought I would post this over here to get ya'lls feedback. Word is these list for over $5k....can't imagine, but I guess to each their own. Any how just thought it would be interesting to see what the group over here thought of these things.

2254.50.00 at ADs?
Hi Guys,I'm in the market for a new watch (either an Omega or Rolex) and was wondering if the 2254.50.00 is still available at ADs. I know it has been discontinued, but thought there might still be 'new' stock available (perhaps at a discount?). As an aside, I much prefer the black dial and speedy bracelet to the Bond style.Thanks!

Aftermarket parts
How frowned upon is it to use aftermarket parts on a Rolex. I purchased a used Datejust 16014 from a jeweler with a 10 day return option. This being my first Rolex ever, I tried to do all the research possible, but it can still be overwhelming. After the purchase I took the watch to my local AD, which was one of the worst experiences I have had for a long time. He basically told me to get my junk used watch out of the store, and to come back when I am ready to be a real man & buy new. What I did find out after getting the watch is that the Bezel and dial have been replaced with aftermarket parts. The bracelet is also aftermarket, but the clasp is original. The movement appears to be the correct one and not aftermarket. The diamonds are supposedly real, but I have not been able to verify this yet. After finding all this out, would this be something worth keeping? Yes I know that is subjective and I don't want to speak about value in a monetary way, but by having custom work done doe
