AP Pride of Indonesia
.watchesbysjx/2015/06/...royal-oak.htmlLove the colors on this watch, though I'm not a fan of the old style pushers on the 42's. Still, that burnt gold/orange is beautiful. A real home run here.

Dress Casual PP 5205r/g vs 5712r?
I had previously expressed a lack of enthusiasm for my 5167r. After more time and a Christmas week at the beach, swimming, riding waverunners, etc. I realize it is a great casual watch - beautiful in the sun and tremendously comfortable and can work for going out to dinner in a resort environment.As a next PP I'm thinking about a 5712r or 5205r (cream dial) for dress casual situations - this would replace a rose gold IWC 3904 chrono classic in my rotation. Am leaning towards the 5205r but wondering if this is too dressy and I tried on the 5712r yesterday and it was very nice and more different from the 5167r than I expected. Also saw the 5205g-010 (black dial) and thought it was striking and with the matte black strap/gray stitching a perfect dress casual piece. However I wear a gold wedding ring and my wife notices when I mix metal. Also wonder if the two tone dial will stand the test of time.Would appreciate thoughts/advice. Happy new year to all.

Thinking of adding a Radiomir (PAM388): Legit Check
Thinking of adding a silver case Rad to compliment my ceramic 384. I want something sub $5k as more of an everyday watch. This 388 caught my eye and I may try and make a deal. Everything seems legit but I wanted to get some more eyeballs on it:, anyone want to talk me out of a second Radiomir? Want to go Rad instead of a Luminor since I already have a pretty robust strap collection.

GMT question BLNR or LN?
I want to get a GMT. Didn't like the SkyDweller so gave it away. One of the ADs has a LN in stock. I haven't tried it on the wrist, but black and steel combination generally looks good on the wrist. The BLNR is tough to get, but with some perseverance I might be able to get it. I really like the blue hand compared to the green. Plus the blue/black combination looks better.Shall I get LN or wait it out? If I get the BLNR, I might get Blue/Red insert to swap the bezel. I think its a versatile watch. The insert would work better on BLNR than the LN? The SS BLRO will be a while to get plus not liking the jubilee bracelet much? So a BLNR that can be BLRO look aslike once in a while and BLNR when needed. What are your thoughts fellow TRF members?Anyone tried BLNR or BLRO insert on LN?Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

How Does the GMT solve this Problem??
I'm currently in Afghanistan, which is 11 AND 1/2 timezones ahead of my home, in San Diego. Yes, it is 11 hours AND THIRTY MINUTES ahead of San Diego. It is odd, I know, and I didn't think that a half timezone existed, but apparently it does.Does the Rolex GMT have a way to make up for that difference? Based on my limited time handling 1675s and 16710s, I would say No. I believe that their dual timezone is based on full timezones, and not half/thirty minute timezones.Anyone have any insight for this? Thanks!V/RMike
