New Member sharing pics - Rolex Sub + Omega
Hello Everyone,I'm a new member on this forum and this is my first post. I have owned a submariner for the past four years and have enjoyed every moment with it. Apart from being such a classic it was MY first Rolex and will always have a special place in my heart. The first Rolex I ever bought was for my wife - a TT rose gold lady datejust. I fell in love with watches many many years ago. My first love was the Omega Seamaster which was out of my reach. As time progressed I graduated (in my thoughts) to the Submariner but thought I would buy the Planet Ocean as I knew that I would never be able to afford a Submariner. I remember the countless times I entered the showroom, tried the watch and leave without buying one. Anyways fast forward a few years I was able to buy two rolexes, first for my wife and second for myself. After the Submariner my desire for the Planet Ocean died but the Speedmaster entered my wish list. I wanted one on the leather strap as I didn't like the bracelet on th

Accident or something normal?
I just read this article about Philippe Dufour, I knew his work is impeccable here is not the problem, the problem is that for comparison they have put pics of movements from high end brands, and the one from Patek is just shameful finishing wise, I understand that not all Patek movements are finished to perfection and that some easily rival Dufour's finishing when it comes down to 500K plus models, but even for the lesser expensive Pateks is it possible that some can be sold like this??? Do you think this is a bad finished movement that passed through QC or is this normal finishing for let's say movements of their least expensive pieces? In any case that's why I never wanted to look at any movements I have owned with a loupe as I would be quite disappointed if I had such a finished movement. Would be interested to hear what you think, thanks in advance Small edition point, forget the other pics, forget Dufour, just look at the Patek movement pic and tell me if you think it is normal f

Today is my 40th and still no Daytona :(
Well today is the big day, and I never received my SS Daytona from my AD. I went on their wait list back in 2016, when the new model debuted. I got a call last July from my AD, telling me that I was next up. I thought for sure by today, I would have it in my possession. Well, maybe it will come for my 40th year instead of the day. Keeping my fingers crossed. Maybe this is a blessing in the sky and something from Basel will come out this year and I will want that in stead. But it better be something COOL! As I was not that impressed with the models from the 2017 Basel world.........

Two things I'd change on the Daytona
I'm a big Daytona fan. I wear mine more than all my other watches, combined. But still there are two small, presumably easy and inexpensive things that could be done to it to make it better.1. Anti-reflective coating on the underside of the crystal. Why hide the beautiful dial in glare? Topside AR smudges too much, so I'd prefer only underside. It's frankly embarrassing for a five-figure watch not to have AR coating these days. Especially when the dial is glossy; sometimes the dial or hands will reflect off the underside of the crystal, onto the glossy dial, back onto the underside of the crystal, back onto the dial...it's like a funhouse mirror effect. 2. Re-do the ticks between the minute markers.There are 5 ticks per minute marker. But the Daytona ticks 8x/second. Let's have four ticks per minute marker, so the chrono second hand, you know, can actually be read to its 1/8 second capability. This is really just an academic exercise, because Rolex does what Rolex wants. But these two
