Everest EH-1 Band Silicone Strap For Rolex Watches Review
Contributed by Sheldon K. SmithAn evolving category in the watch market are replacement aftermarket products not intended to mimic the original, but rather to improve or change the way the watch looks and feels. One of those companies entering into this category is Everest Horology. On August 10th, 2012 ?Everest Band releases the EH-1, a medical-grade silicone strap designed specifically for Rolex sport watches including the Explorer II, Submariner, DeepSea, and GMT. Unlike most other replacement straps, the Everest EH-1 is designed to fit the Rolex watch head exactly with a fit very similar to Rolex's original Oyster bracelet.Everest Horology is not the first company to manufacture a replacement silicone strap for Rolex.

Nothing like showing up to work and having a shiny white FedEx truck waiting for you!Here's my first shot. It actually fits just perfectly on my meaty wrist with the standard links attached.Thanks for all the advice guys!

Dropped my Speedy Pro this morning

Advice required: Luminor Pam 537 or Radiomir Pam 628
Hi all,Im looking at getting my first Panerai. I tried on a Radiomir 425 SLC and was about to pull the trigger when my thespian of a mate showed me a picture of a hobnail dialled Luminor 537, which i thought looked fantastic.I then read that Panerai have just recently released a 45mm Radiomir hobnail dial (Pam 628).My concern is that at 42mm, the Pam 537 will wear small given that Panerais appear to be watches that should be larger in scale (im a reasonably fit fellow at 180cm and 100kg/220 pounds).Should i wait for the Radiomir Pam 628 or push on with a Luminor Pam 537?Any pics of you larger blokes with the smaller Panerai watches would be fantastic.Thanks in advance.Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk
