Top Time 2002 ont' eBay
This looks to be a bargain even at full Buy It Now price.Is there something wrong with it that I'm not noticing?Only problems I can see are the regulator being all he way to one side & no pictures of left sub-dial re-set to top, so it might be a creeper.Still looks like a good price compared to the ones I've seen in London shops for ?1200-?1600

A waterproof leather strap review updated over time
Just thought I'd do this review of a waterproof strap over time and exposing it to various water conditions.The strap in question is:Pre-V by MP Tantalum Kodiak 100% Waterproof leather with sewn in Pre-V buckle 26/24 125/75Watch is my 232.I'm trying to take pictures of the dry watch at work under the same horrible lighting and no windows. It should give me a consistent lighting picture and I plan to use only my iPhone for pics. This way we can see if strap colors fad over time.So, here it is day 1 installed at work. It is a thinner strap (I like thinner straps).I wore it on the 3rd hole when I took these pictures, but decided it was too loose. I figured since I'm getting this wet, I'm gonna try and stretch it as well. That same day I switched it to he second hole and it was almost painfully tight. Let's say it was very uncomfortable.Day 1 out of the bag. I decided to start quick and throughly rinsed it in bathroom sink and proceeded with my attempt at stretching it to fit me bet

BLNR vs Motorcycle Wreck
Hello all, I was in a wreck while riding a Harley, hit the ground at about 50mph and was a rag doll for a couple hundred feet. Lucky to be alive and only have some sprains, road rash, and a broken collar bone. The Rolex, while tough as nails, wasn't so lucky.Anyone able to ball park what Rolex might charge to fix? It's a great story for the watch if its fixable!
