15451ST.ZZ.1256ST.01 vs. 15451ST.ZZ.1256ST.02
Good day GentsI am considering a purchase that id quite frankly like to understand a bit more before pulling the trigger, the following RO models are my options:15451ST.ZZ.1256ST.01 - Black Dial, Diamond Bezel15451ST.ZZ.1256ST.02 - Grey Dial, Diamond BezelKindly let me know if the Grey Dial is a superior product, i am told it is more rare and difficult to source, whilst the black dial is more readily available. Theres a price difference of approx. 23%; although i do like the black dial on the wrist, i want to be sure its the most sensible decision.

Magic Dial
Yep ... another thread about my 26400 ... and nope, I didn't peel the stickers off yet This thing is magic under the sun!

Got it!
Just got my second ap. after trying on many different models I stick to this strange taste

1953 Seamaster restoration - good value?
Just after buying my first Rolex (through this site), I posted a question about whether it was bad to let the watch sit in a case and wind down frequently. I was sort of hesitant about wearing my grail watch every day. A few guys here talked me down and I now wear it all the time, and love it. I tell this story to point out that I now understand better what constitutes 'value' in watches like the Submariner.If you're still reading, please check this out.styleforum.net/t/277090/1...amaster/0_100#This watch caught my eye in a big way. As you can see, the watch has been pretty extensively restored. Can anyone comment about pricing on this? I did a search or two but couldn't get a clear indication of what a restored watch like this should be worth. If it's sold 48 hours after this goes up, I'll have my answer. If I'm going to overpay, I at least want to know I'm overpaying. I'll check for any responses after 10 pm EST tomorrow. Thanks.

Has anyone grown to like PCLs?
Before getting my BLNR I was well aware that members here dislike PCLs in general. Nobody disputes the fact that they are scratch/smudge magnets.I have seen some BLNRs with brushed bracelets and there is no denying it looks good, but the PCLs have grown on me. They just ad something to the look of the watch. So either I have gotten used to them (mild case of Stockholm Syndrome) or could it be that I actually like them ?
