How does the leather-strapped 15400OR wear formally?
All, I would welcome your input. Thanks

Standard Warranty Info Question
Hey Guys-- So I have two ROO's going for their first service soon. Both have their third year warranty sticker.My 44mm ROO has way more light scratches on the case than my 42 ( i won't opt for any type of refinish on my 42mm)..My question is this- Has anyone had their watch serviced and had the watch polished, or lightly touched up? The 44 just has some minor scuffs on the case and it drives me crazy - almost seams like if i breathe on it it can scratch..Is this a standard part of the service or is it an extra charge? How much does this extra charge translate to? It's hard to tell on the website as it is all in CHF and they break it down into each piece...Thanks!!!

The perfect pair???
There's a lot of great iconic chrono references out there to be sure, but IMO, it's tough to beat these two individually and especially as a pair.The pure classic simplicity of the 5070, combined with the well balanced complexity of the 5970, make for a combo that's hard to beat.

Is this 16234 Correct?
Hello guys can you please tell is this one correct and take a look at it, I am going to see it in person tomorrow and possibly buy it so all help is appreciated.Thank you!
