Mitsukoshi (Conversion) Speedmaster on Strap
Recently picked-up an OEM gator strap and deployment for my 3570.50, which I converted to a Mitsukoshi a few months ago. I really like this set-up: super classy (I think) and super comfortable. I will be wearing it like this for a while.

Feedback needed
Hi all.I am looking to get a Panerai and would love some feedback. I am for sure wanting 44mm and a date,leather band and brushed case. The PAM00312 has caught my eye but as I am no Panerai expert, was hoping to get some input to help in my research.Thanks!

Which rolex model will likely be the next one to surge in price?
I am new to the rolex forums but have been an avid rolex and tudor watch collector/enthusiast. A few years back, I purchased a white rolex daytona 116520 knowing its price would only continue to increase.Also, I own a black tudor snowflake submariner 94110 (which I purchased from Antione De Macedo in Paris) whose price has surged with the fairly recent introduction of tudor watches in the United States. Outside of the daytonas and submariners of the world, which rolex model is bound to have the next big price surge? I can't think of any model in particular at the moment. Any and all comments or suggestions will be much appreciated.Thanks!

Need help buying my first Rolex (Toronto)
Hello all,I've been saving for quite a while and planning to make my first purchase this year. (Dream is coming true ) I'm deciding between the Submariner 116040 /GMT BLNR. I have a couple questions and appreciate any guidance/suggestion from your expertise.Is it possible to get a discount at local ADs considering the current hype/low supply? As I heard the low supply is short term and it might be up possibly by late Feb/ Mar, should I wait for a bit to increase my chance of getting a discount? At the same time, I'm worried about Rolex increasing the price for 5-10% this year... Any advice/ recommendation is welcome! Thank you all very much again! Cheers!
