9300 movement with chrono running constantly?????
Can the Speedmaster 9300 stand the chronograph running continuously? I like chronographs but do like to see the big central second hand running and wondered if the movement is designed for and/or robust enough? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Controversial Question: Is it time for TRF to limit Trusted Seller Prices??
We have all seen the recent shortages on many of the popular Rolex range..and let’s be honest, there are only the Grey Market Sellers benefitting from this. As TRF is a highly reputable forum with Hundreds of thousand of active users, do you think it’s time for the TRF moderators to make a RULE & restrict sales on current models to MRSP??As an example, on many sites when selling tickets for concerts, sporting events, sales are only allowed at ‘Face Value’ to halt Ticket Touts.In reality, what is the difference between a ticket tout buying all the tickets for a concert on the day of release (and everyone seems to dislike a ticket tout) and a gray watch dealer buying all the stock from AD’s and marking it up for silly prices??Think hard about my comparison and then reply. Vintage models & discontinued models then of course it’s fair game, I’m talking solely about current inventory.

Would love your opinion
Is a Datejust 41, blue face, fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet a bit too flashy for everyday casual wear?At bit of context... I'm 46 in a professional, but casual, setting. No one around has any watch game. I'm typically in a polo with a sweater vest. I'm wanting to venture into that Rolex but don't want it to stick out too much. Plan on the watch being an heirloom that I can pass down to my son but would be an everyday wear. I've heard that fluted and jubilee don't show scratches as much as the smooth on oyster. How much is that a factor?I keep vacillating between smooth bezel on oyster and fluted bezel on jubilee. I'm not much on the Rolex options with numbers on the bezel like the Sea Dweller or Sub-Mariner.I'd love the collective wisdom of TRF.
