M��hle-Glash��tte S.A.R. Rescue-Timer '150 Jahre DGzRS' Watch
The M��hle-Glash��tte Special Edition S.A.R. Rescue-Timer 150 Jahre DGzRS is an easy watch to like. That's not to say its minimalist styling will charm everyone, but the fact that all the proceeds go to charity tugs at my heartstrings. Since 1865, the German Maritime Search and Rescue Service (DGzRS) have been keeping the seafarers and water sportsmen and women of the North and Baltic seas safe from harm. To celebrate the 150-year anniversary of the charity's foundation, M��hle-Glash��tte have released this special edition variant of the S.A.R. Rescue-Timer, which has been used by the on-board crew for the last 13 years.In my experience, M��hle-Glash��tte is a polarising brand.

When I first saw photographs of the M��hle-Glash��tte range, I was unimpressed by the finish and what I took to be generic styling.

Incoming alert - about to join the club
Well, after drooling over the AP forum for a little while, I decided to do what most everyone here has done at one point or another and relied on David SW to come through for me and get my grail watch. Anxiously awaiting delivery on Saturday of the first AP in my collection. This will go along nicely with my Patek and Vacheron to complete my Holy Trinity and I can't wait. Pics coming soon....

Need help sourcing a fold over clasp for an Omega curved end rubber strap
Hi Guys,I recently purchased a new 42mm Planet Ocean and would love to put on the Omega curved end rubber strap with white stitching. I called Fr. John's AD (who I purchased my PO from) and he has them in stock but recommended sourcing an aftermarket fold over clasp because his Omega ones cost $230. Has anyone found an after market fold over clasp that will work with this rubber strap? I'll spend the $230 if I have to but thought I might pose this question to you guys first to save a little money. Thanks!

Omega 8500
Guys, I just had to post this beauty - apologies if they have already been posted. Omega's CEO says it will eventually replace the Cal. 2500 (but I guess that's some way out).Enjoy.

Patek 5167a Strap Change
Hi fellow Aquanaut owners,Do you all go to an AD every time you want to change (not resize) the rubber strap or do you do it yourself? If you DIY what specific tool do you use or recommend? As you know, the rubber straps have these two prongs at the end where it connect to the watch case and it seems difficult to remove unless I used a specific plier or tool.I once took it to an AD and they had difficulty removing the strap without a dedicated tool and even slipped and marked the back of the lugs while doing so!
