Strap options for the Diver?
Gents, I have the Diver on rubber and might end up with a bracelet at some point, but looking to see what other strap options you may have tried on it. Would love to see some pics of anything you've tried out. Thanks. Pics always start a thread out on the right foot so here you go.

Scratch out of the box from AD
I hesitate to even post this but I am curious other people's thoughts. First and foremost, I admit some fault in this. What I am about to explain could have been prevented by me.I was looking at a new watch at the local AD. In short, the watch was beautiful and I saw no damage to it. I looked it over very carefully. I agreed to purchase it. They took it in the back to remove a few stickers and box it up. They brought it out and I paid and left. When I got home I took the watch out of the box and photographed it for insurance and placed it back in the box. A couple days later I started wearing it and I noticed a slight scratch on the bezel.

New To The Club (116610 & 116523)
It's been a big couple of weeks for me. Entered the club with the 116610 luckily in stock from my local AD.Turns out the Sub had either dust or a flake from the lettering loose inside the crystal; I noticed it within five days. Took it back to the AD a few days ago and they sent it back to Rolex for inspection and remedy. The AD felt pretty bad for missing the issue before selling to me so they offered a discount on something else. I took them up on it and picked up the Daytona to complement.Pretty content for now...or I should say I'll be content once I get my Sub back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
