Major problem with the Speedy! Anybody run into this?
So my new Speedy Tuesday is already in the shop! The watch runs fine in normal mode, but when I click the Chrono pusher in to start the Chrono feature, the second hand stops at the 47th second and the entire watch stops working. Then as soon as I slightly turn the crown, the watch starts working again and the second hand starts ticking again and will sometimes stop again between the 49th and 58th second. Pretty aggravated to say the least!!!! However, i really like the staff where I bought it and it seems they are doing their best to remedy. They called all over to get a replacement but there are none anywhere. SO, anybody run into this????

Production numbers 5170G 010
So I just bought my grail. I wear it everyday whether I am at work or at my son's soccer game. Any guesses on how many of the black faced 5170s are produced annually?

116610LN incoming
Surprise call from an AD to say I've been bumped to the top of the list following my visit last month and they've just had one arrive today. Do I want it? Yes I do. Deposit paid and it's sitting in the safe for me to collect at my convenience. I wasn't expecting it to arrive so quickly. It was for my wedding in September. Now do I keep it in the box until my wedding day or not.

My Rolex plans for 2018
Its been 19 years since my last Rolex watch, a Jubilee DJ. After reading all the valuable information on TRF I now want to create a collection. None of these watches will be flipped, they will be worn and will be earmaked for the male heirs in our family. My wife will Address the female heirs.The watches I intend to obtain are:GMT BLNRLV SubDaytona ceramic (white or black)Sea Dweller or deep Sea BlueAll watches will be acquired via an AD at MSRP.I have a strategy in place based on everything I have read on the TRF. And I have set a time frame of six months to complete the above.Will keep you informed of my progress or lack thereof. Pictures will be included when the watches are acquired.Not part of the above plan but will be in the Netherlands, Germany and England in December and will check out the ADs in those countries. I do not expect to acquire any of the above watches during this trip but you never know.

Changing straps/bracelet tool
Folks,I think we all know here, and I am sorry if it has been asked many times before... Changing straps/removing the bracelet on Rolexes is a beach! Can someone please refer me to a good place to get a pair of tweezers for me to change the bracelet? I am getting a colareb next week and don't want to ruin my lugs... Cheers!
