New ROO Navy vs Newer One
Well, I read in some thread that AP has changed the shade of blue; but couldn't locate it again. Anyway, it's actually true. Here they are side by side. I kind of prefer the old one. The newer one is a tad pale to my taste. What do you think?

New Addition has landed.....Skyfall
A quick shot with the iPhone. While not a Bond junkie, I saw this and couldn't resist it. Just the right bit of understatement.

Seeking Advice Pam 388 or 287
I've narrowed my first PAM down to a Radiomir 388 or 287. I really desire the date function so the main reason I'm only considering these two. I like the idea of non-in-house movement of the 287, but don't care for the cyclops and sausage dial. I prefer the sandwich dial with no-cyclops, but not as sold on the P.9000 movement. Both watches I'm considering are pre-owned and comparable in price. Personal ideas/opinions greatly appreciated...

...another post from Paneristi regarding the unfinished movement in the PAM318, closeup shots comparing the unfinished movement to the finished....network54/Forum/35339...terious+PAM318I owned a 318 with a movement with that finish I would slam it in the AD's table claiming my money back, it is a disgrace that Panerai quality control will allow that! /masterkiller

There MUST be a new Submariner coming at Basel?!
Hi all,First post on this forum, I am a bit of a newby when it comes to Rolex, hence my username!I have loved watches for a long time and currently own a Speedmaster. I have recently fallen in love with the Submariner and have decided that I would like to buy one. The problem is, there aren't any available from an AD in my area! I got an email from an AD today saying that they have closed waiting lists for Submariners and he will be back in touch when they reopen and for a 20% deposit I can get on the list. Of course, I could buy one on the grey market but I refuse to pay at least ��1000 over MSRP for a used watch.I just don't understand why there would be such scarcity of a watch like the Submariner if there wasn't something coming out at Basel, maybe not a new design but at least an updated movement. I understand models like the Daytonas being scarce, the hulk, BLNR etc. But I just want a regular old Submariner and I can't even get on a waiting list?!?! Something is up for sure.Less t
