Paul Newman Ltd Edition 1957 Panda Dial
So the Paul Newman reference is a headline grabber but I thought I'd share some pics of my latest find...It's a Japanese market only Ltd Edition Speedmaster Date reference 323.30.40.40.02.001Saw this little beauty and couldn't pass up the opportunity to grab it. A limited edition to 2009 pieces only and this one was NOS in the box. Despite being a safe queen, after a full wind and a few days of running, it is within COSC at -1.8/day which is pretty amazing I think.I love the Panda Dial on this one. In bright light it's almost pure white, but in subdued indoor lighting the dial takes on the appearance of a beautiful creamy colour.I'd never seen one of these before this one and this was one of those rare examples we sometimes come across where the decision to pull the trigger and buy it needed little to no thought.It's a 40mm case and wears a little small compared to the usual watches in my rotation, but still looks great on my 7 wrist.I'm not usually a fan of chronometers but the speedy

Just a dirty wrist shot

Totally Impulse Purchase. What were the chances?
I am very new to the Rolex world just having bought a 116610LV Hulk. I love it but decided I wanted something slimmer fitting than that for every day wear. I decided the Daytona was probably my best option after reading so much about them here. I knew the ceramic new ones weren't a possibility unless I paid grey prices which I never really considered. I figured the two tone was my best bet as the older stainless models were so inflated in price as well. I stopped by the AD that was kind enough to call me for my Hulk just to see if they had a Daytona (white face) two tone just so I could try it on. I had absolutely no intention to purchase it as I was on the list for a BLNR and wanted to decide before that came in. Well, I tried it on and was so disappointed the white face was just hard for me to read. The owner kinda smiled and said hang on. He brought out a 116520 black face that still had the factory stickers, the papers and original box! I could see it much better than the white fac

Squeaky Bracelet
Bought a Rolex Explorer last week and I love it. Over the last few days the bracelet appears to be squeaking. It is probably just requiring a bit of lubrication but any thoughts on how to sort?
