Rolex Submariner Two-Tone Watches For 2009: I Finally Caught The Fever
Rolex is the most powerful watch brand in the world. That does not mean Rolex watches are the best, or that they are worth the most. Rather that the brand itself has the highest value. It does this through a combination of working with incredibly fancy marketing firms such as M. Booth & Associates, in addition to its in-house people...and by having pretty nice looking watches. The secret Rolex formula has been attempted to be replicated on many occasions, but without success.? However, on an dollar for dollar measurement, Rolex outspends its competitors by nearly double when it comes to marketing and advertising. So you really are buying a name, but maybe it is a name worth buying. Rolex watches are of the few that when you sell them, you can usually get the same or more as when you bought them. That is power. And I sure as hell am not immune to it being a watch lover. I don't take keenly to all Rolex watches, but there are some you can't resist. No sane watch lover can deny that t

44 ROO strap change tools
Guys what tools do you use for strap changes?I've seen a few recommend the AP bands kit which is a Bergeon 1.4 screwdriver and their own brand 1.4 screwdriver block, is this kit any good?I know on my the Oyster bracelets they recommend hollow ground over the pointed so I use the ref:2100 rather then a standard Bergeon 1.6, is the tip type important on the AP?And I've never used a screwdriver block but guess it would be easier then trying to use two screwdrivers?Thanks in advance

HELP - Question about Chronomatic 2110
A question for the more experienced members out there. I know that traditionally a Chronomatic 2110 Panda would have orange hands/black bottoms on the white racing dial. I also know that there have been some rare models where white hands were used for specific companies. So, my question.....was the 2110 ever produced (stock) with white hands? Or, are these likely service replacements? I have a set of correct NOS orange/black hands, but wanted to ask the question before making any ill informed change. Movement is Cal. 11. (not Cal.11i). S/N is '69 if the info is helpful. I welcome any input/information on this. Thanks - Jeff
