Rado D-Star 200 Dive Watches
While I like this new watch range a lot I am torn because it is a Rado without being a modern Rado. What do I mean? Well for the last long while Rado watches have been mostly typified by having mostly ceramic cases. In fact Rado was pretty much the innovator behind ceramic watch. For 2012 a cool re-done diver collection comes out and it barely has any ceramic! Well, a bit more on the chrono model. If you can get over that then you'll probably like these new D-Star 200 Dive watches a lot.I am not sure of all the color styles that will be available but so far we have blue and black trim models. The D-Star 200 will also come in three-hand and chronograph variants. The three-hand model will be 42mm wide and the chronograph will be 44mm wide. The cases are in steel and sort of retro-barrel shaped. I actually like this case design a lot. Interestingly enough Rado claims that the deployment clasps on the bracelets will be in titanium.The D-Star 200 names stems from the fact that the watches a

Too big?
Drove an hour out of the way to try some ROO's on in Dallas, but with all the plastic it's kind of hard to tell the fit. Guess I'll just have to buy one and try it out. What do you guys think?ImageUploadedByTapatalk1362035078.340343.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1362035095.985797.jpgWrist is 6.5 My 15400 fits fine although I would trade it for a Jumbo.

Men's Nautilus owners, what do you think of the bracelet flip lock clasp?
I'm new to PP. I'm looking at the beautiful 5711 as my next target. However, I feel that the bracelet's smallish flip lock metal clasp with the engraved Geneva logo does not look as impressive as the rest of the watch. I do appreciate the bracelet's overall slimness that can make the whole watch comfortable to be worn.My initial thought was that PP wants the watch and bracelet/buckle style to be retained as original as possible to uphold the Nautilus design tradition. But when I visited the AD with my wife the other day, we saw the Ladies' Nautilus has a nicer buckle design that is without the flip lock metal clasp. It's sturdier and looks like an improved version over the 5711 bracelet buckle. This design is more similar to my Aquanaut 5167 (rubber) fat buckle which is just so lovely and comfortable.What do you all think? Can we expect a new bracelet buckle for 5711 in the near future? I took some pics from google for comparison.ladies nautilus5711ladies nautilus - buckle opened

No Pepsi and CHNR?
Stopped in to my local AD this afternoon for the hell of it (and to chit chat about the SS Pepsi waitlist I'm on with them). I was thinking of picking up a TT CHNR, so I inquired. Apparently not much of a waitlist and they were able to submit an order request to Rolex. Apparently not a sought after watch? Anyway, I found this interesting. The salesman said that my CHNR order request might get turned down by Rolex, since I'm on a list for the Pepsi. This was to avoid flippers. Has anyone else heard this? Is it possible for Rolex to turn you down from ordering two separate models at the same time?
