New guy on the AP side
Evening gentsThis is my first post & possibly my first luxury watch purchase. I'm new to this although i have been watching these boards for awhile. Mostly the classifieds. I'm definitely a offshore kind of guy although i can see myself with an RO as a once a month going out to dinner type of watch.I see the divers are the cheapest, not really my style anyway. I've got my eye on an elephant ROO w/ hornback strap. (Not a fan of that either) How much of a hassle/cost is it to get a elephant rubber strap w/ diver style pin buckle?Also whats the group take on the whole elephant theme? Is like a gimmick? Or a possible staple in the brand? I only ask because should i panic after the purchase & sell i dont want to be stuck with it. Hopefully it'll be easy to sell like a Panda for example.Lastly these are expensive pieces. If this particular piece doesn't come with everything i want initially would you consider scrapping the deal & waiting for the right one? Just looking for person

where to source dial to chronomat 13048?
As title says, im contemplating buying an older and quite nice 13048 SS/18k. Only problem ist that it has the white dial. This model IMHO suits the black dial alot more. Soo, where to source this? Much easier if it was omega as ofrei/ebay/watchadoo/i could go on and on has tons of parts. And im not interested in getting 13050 dial. Needs to be correct.thanks

Rolex Boxes
Do Rolex boxes differ hugely?Model, age etc. Do the more expensive watches come in a fancier 'casket'?It would be nice to see the variationsTucking her up for the night.

Basel unveiling
Question. Baselworld starts March 22, but Rolex says it will unveil the collection March 21. Do they always unveil the day before? I thought they unveil the day of.
