ROO 42 vs 44mm
Hello gang,I need some advice.I am considering parting with my APROO Grey Themes to get into a 44MM Big Panda.My question is; Does the 44mm wear that much bigger than the 42mm?I do wear suite often and occasionally have the ROO 42mm on my wrist.I don't want to lose that versatility if I get into a 44mm.I don't have a boutique close by that I could try on.Any advice, comments or side by side shots are greatly appreciated!Roger

New Seamaster Regulation
I have only had my new Seamaster Pro for 1 day but I have noticed that since 9.00 pm last night it has gained + 6 and is likely to be over + 7 by the 24 hour mark.Should I give it a bit of time to wear in or take it be regulated ? My Submariner ran at + 3 out of the box and my DJ at + 1.Beautiful watch - It's the blue dial with the wave pattern. This is my first Omega (although my father is an Omega man) and I am very impressed. Omega seem to be in the position that Rolex were in about 20 or 30 years ago before they started to realy hike their prices and bling up. Rolex have now blinged up too much for my tastes - I hope that Omega continues to resist that temptation.Thanks

Panerai PAM 292 Stolen. BIZARRE!!
Hello,I would like to share a bizarre case of how to lose a watch. I don't even know when to start, and it took my a month before I am able to arrive to the conclusion that my watch is indeed gone and I am doing this write up.So I just got a PAM 292 which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was clean, it was classy, and a hell of a watch. I received many compliments for the 292 and was steadily falling in love with it so much so that I haven't stopped wearing the watch for the 2 weeks that I owned it.One friday evening (6-June-2014) I was having dinner with a few friends at a high end shopping mall in Jakarta when my stomach decided to give me a ring, notifying me of a long trip to the bathroom. It took me 30 seconds to go to the bathroom, 1 minute to clean it up, and another 10 seconds to take of my watch and finally sitting down to get to doing my business.10 minutes later I stood up only to find out that my watch has, amazingly, vanished. I stood there with my mouth wide open, looking at the e

My first Rolex purchase....
Hello all, I'm a city public school teacher, run a couple non-profits where I mentor youth, and I grind the 1/2 and 2/5 seen in holdem and pot limit omaha. The first two pay me spiritually, and the later has been good the last couple months, so I have found it's time to fill the poker grinder stereotype and get a nice watch since card rooms never have a clock.Below is my first potential Rolex purchase. I know a little less about Rolex watches than I do kangaroo birth, so much so that I had to type Rolex watches because I can't figure out the plural of Rolex. Can't be the guy who says shrimps, am I right? *pics removed*The person claims that it needs the mainspring fixed on the second hand.My questions are:Does it seem legit?Who should I bring it to to fix it? Any watch smith or do they need to specialize in Rolexessss's?What would a fair used price be for this?Thanks for anyone who reads this!--
