Deployant clasp is it an unnecessary aftermarket luxury?
I have been thinking about getting a deployant for my 5127R.What are the pros and cons?To my way of thinking, they add further presence and safety for the watch. But they are not cheap to buy and I doubt very much, that you would get much extra should you sell the watch, though it would be a good bargaining feature.Does it centralised the watch on your wrist?Currently on the clasp, mine sits further towards the 12 o'clock position.

But, Rolex being Rolex, and Vanessa being Vanessa, it can be repaired to perfect running condition. Some of the work and parts replaced include:-full overhaul with new mainspring-new driving wheel-new rotor axle-new great wheel-new tube-new crown-new pepsi bezel insert-various new screws-probably add'l parts I don't yet know ofPretty significant work, but all doable by Vanessa with genuine Rolex parts. Vanessa has been amazing, she's communicated with me via phone and text (my preference) and sent me many photos of the damaged parts that requi
