Transocean, thoughts?
Hi all,I have not delve into B retiring in a long time. And never thought I would until I saw a Transocean while passing a local jeweler. I did a double take on a black one on mesh bracelet. I just loved the simplicity of the dial, as I wear suits for work, and the refined look. Didn't look like a Breitling. The black dial would complement the rest of my collection. Questions;How is that mesh bracelet? Is is comfortable and versatile?What kind of strap can I put on it if I wanted a different look?Any comments and pictures greatly appreciated as I am eager to add it to my collection. Thanks and Happy New Year to all!Roger

5712r or 5396r ?

Pay over MSRP for a SS Rolex or put it towards a used Ferrari?
Just a warning...this is MORE whining and complaining.The state of affairs makes me honestly sad...and I deal with sick and dying patients almost every day.I really wanted to commemorate finishing med school, finishing residency, finishing fellowship, and treat myself nice after all the stress I go through on a daily basis....but now I can't even get a new 116610LV which has been out for years unless I pay a grey market dealer $2,500 over MSRP. No one even has a 116610LN sitting around any more. Its worse for ceramic daytonas.Been on wait lists since last year...One local dealer here in Texas told me he had 20 on his list.Well, either the market will settle down, or the MSRP will go up and desirable SS sports models in the professional line will continue have scarce availability further exploding demand and price...Maybe the time to buy used is now before it gets worse? I realize owning a new pepsi or STILL waiting on a daytona or hulk will unlikely bring me a watch or any joy in

I hope we all learned our lesson
Last night the forum was absolutely sure that there would be a coke gmt on jubilee.There were threads about people confirming the news because their AD told them.We had also heard countless times that there would never be a steel pepsi after the WG.Yet here we are.All the rumors, all the confidence behind some of those predictions.We just never know what Rolex is going to do.I'll give them credit though. For such a massive and well known company, they sure know how to keep things secret.

114270 or New Tudor 39mm?
Hear me out. My current collection consists of 16610 and 16570 Polar. Looking for my next watch and was set on the 114270... then Tudor introduced the 39mm BB. I used to have the 41mm red rose and sold it because it was too big and bulky for my small wrist. I love it, though.My only requirement is a simple dial for my next watch, and now I am torn! What would you do? Thanks!
