15202ip worth the premium?
tried my friends' 15202st and liked the look and feeling on the wrist. Even though the build quality is not great(if you ever forget to take off before a golf game you'll find out soon enough), and the date adjusting on the ancient caliber is a heahache, I like the watch nevertheless. Saw the 15202ip on this year's SIHH. The price though is so much higher than the regular model from the grey market dealers. Wonder which one would you all vote for?

Apollo 11 platinum version
HelloDoes anyone have one of the platinum Speedmasters with the gold badge on the dial?I think the watch was to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission and there was just about 69 made. I would really like to see one of these.Thanks

Hi, can you tell me if you should pay over ticket price on these, have been offered 1 well over ticket price but don't know if it is worth the investment.

Rolex with a leather strap
I have stumbled upon something that I can't seem to learn about via research online.I need the help from TRF experts :)I have understood that some Rolex watch cases destroy two-piece leather straps because they have a sharp edge or a sharp groove in the case.Some examples are 6 digit Subs and GMTs.I am talking about just buying a two-piece leather strap and putting it on.NOT a two-piece strap with CURVED ends or CURVED spring bars.NOT a two piece strap in which you leave the END LINKS on, or buy special end links.Just buy a traditional leather two-piece strap, take off your bracelet and end links, put the strap on and that's it.Apparently, some watch cases destroy such straps.I am very curious about this. I used to think it was only 6 digit subs or GMTs, but apparently 5 digit subs and GMTs do this to.Which Rolex watches do this and which ones don't?What do I look for in a watch, when I am shopping for one that won't destroy a traditional leather strap, without having to take off the b
