Re: Noob size question
Hi guys,I've been a lurker for a while and it's finally nice to join. I just had a question regarding size. For instance I'm very interested in getting the new AP ROO Forged Carbon Black but needed dimensions if you don't mind. Sorry if it's a stupid question.1) What is the exact diameter of just the crystal itself?2) When measuring AP watches when it says 44mm-is this just the case or case+crown and pushers? I have a picture here and if you don't mind could someone please help with these 3 dimensions as shown by the coloured lines? Thank You very much!!!!!Sean

New Planet Ocean...yea!!!!
I was at Jared on Monday paying my monthly payment. This Jared has a PreOwned counter. I had a 42.5 mm PO with a black bezel and black numbers and sold it a year and and 1/2 ago. I have a 16610 Submariner and it looked to close. Well I spied this 45mm Orange PO, $1899.99 PreOwned. I tried it on and it was one link short and the bezel was jacked up, it took vice grips practically to turn it, so I told the sales girl....no thanks. Then she says, I tell you what, I have a new one in the case over here, I'll give you that one for the same price and send this one to warranty to get fixed but I can only gove you a 1 year warranty with this new one. I bit for the new PO for $1899.99 plus tax and I love the 45mm PO and always had. The orange just pops, instantly recognizable IMO but I just wasn't gonna pay retail for a new one and I didnt have the cash to buy on here or on TimeZone. Speaking of TimeZone, it's looks like no one is buying there. All the add's have 0 replies......my 2255.80 has N

114060 Apparent Bezel Insert Defect - Opinions appreciated
Hello everyone, I am new to the forums as I just recently acquired my first Rolex! An 114060 as a gift from my father for completing medical school and matching. He knew I'd had my eye on it for a long time and totally surprised me with it last week. I've been abtolutely loving the watch, but I noticed what appears to be a small defect within the recess of the ceramic bezel insert where the platinum is deposited. It appears to be a small bubble? It is at the 11 o'clock position of the 0 in the 50 minute marker of the bezel insert. It can be difficult to see, but I tried to capture it in some photos below. It is definitely visible in-person. The good news is that I live <20 minutes from RSC Dallas and am considering taking it in for a replacement insert or at least to hear what they have to say. I realize that this is a small detail, but for 8k, I feel it is warranted. Purchased directly from an AD with my name on the warranty. What are your thoughts? Ideally, I would have been prese
