RubberB Strap For Rolex Submariner & GMT Master II Review
RubberB on Rolex Submariner No-Date 114060Modern versions of sports watches like Panerai and IWC Ingenieur have quick strap replacement systems. In particular, a reason for?Panerai watches' great appeal is the vast number of after market straps available readily for all of their models, with each strap?being relatively easy to?change in a few minutes using the quick strap changing tool that comes with some of their models. Rolex, despite its?indisputable popularity �C and an arguably massive commercial opportunity �C has never ventured to offer a wide selection options as far as straps and bracelets are concerned. One of the more interesting after market alternatives?are?the RubberB straps,?specially designed to?fit different Rolex models (see our article on the Rubber B Rolex Deepsea Glidelock Watch Strap here). We have?had a chance to consider the model created for the "SubC," i.e., the latest version of the Rolex Submariner with the ceramic bezel.Some manufacturers, like IWC, Hublot,

Six Missing Explorer's Watches Whose Fate We'd Love To Know
Watches, like people, are born with certain traits, but are also, and often, the most interesting when they have led interesting lives. The 20th century was one in which technology innovations made it possible to explore the world around us in ways impossible in previous centuries and of course, watches were an essential part of any explorer's kit. Here are five that helped their owners make history, and which have disappeared from view – and whose fate we'd love to know. Lindbergh's Longines Lindbergh Hour Angle 1 OF 6 It seems odd, but a Longines Lindbergh Hour Angle watch actually owned and used by Charles Lindbergh seems elusive. The watch was developed by Lindbergh to aid in calculating the hour angle – the angular distance of a celestial body from Greenwich, an essential part of aerial navigation – from the Weems Second-Setting watch.

ROO steel bracelet
I have seen pictures of ROOs with steel bracelets on models which were only available from (Authorised) dealers with a leather strap, and I have a few questions about possibly doing this to my watch...-I believe the ROO steel bracelets are larger and thicker than regular RO bracelets so a normal RO bracelet would not fit?-is it possible to buy a steel bracelet from an AD or does my watch need to be sent to AP? If the 2nd, do they keep the leather strap?-what is the approximate cost.Thanks in advance.

Avenger II GMT at Costco
The avenger II GMT in black steel is available at my local Costco for $2,999. I'm normally not a Breitling guy (own a Rolex Submariner ND, Omega Planet Ocean, Omega Deville GMT) but I am thinking about getting this.

Vintage geneva bracelet/strap

I don't think it's water damage as the movement is exceptionally clean.However my biggest problem is the bracelet is absolutely battered. Is it too far gone for restoration? Any suggestions for a replacement. Are there any leather alternatives as the lug width is only about 9.5mm. This is my 1st omega watch.
