15400 vs Rolex on the Wrist
It's been said that Royal Oaks tend to wear large for their reported size. Someone asked for a comparison shot between a 15400 and a Sub C on the wrist, and I took some quick pics. I might as well also post here in case someone else is interested. It's not as bad as it seems, especially considering the maxi cases on the Rolex. I hope this helps someone who may be deciding on a purchase.Interestingly, I think the BNLR wears a big larger than the Sub C because of the larger text on the bezel, and of course, the color.For reference, my wrists is 6.75in.

I know this isn't the Rolex forum, and there may not be enough traffic here but let's see them guys. Dot, AM/PM, and maybe a new one, whatever. Let's celebrate this modern day icon. I'll start......

My new baby the 392!!
Being a Rolex only kind of guy I went in to buy a SS Daytona. Noticed the Panerai and loved them! But thought the 44 was too big on me. Week later I stopped in again and they had this 42mm 392. Fell in love! Fits perfect on my small wrist and is not too tall. Also love the smaller buckle! Now let the Strap fun begin!

Falling in Love All Over Again
Have you ever rediscovered love of a watch after not wearing it for some time? I now remember why this is the only Panerai left in my collection. For me, it is the best!

Rolex Dealer closing down.
One of Houston's longest standing independent Rolex AD's is closing its doors for good, presumably after Christmas. Donoho's Jewellers in The Woodlands has been around since before I bought my first in 1984. I hadn't been there in years and being in the area Saturday dropped by to see the Final Days banners hanging. The store looked pretty picked over and all of the Rolex watches left, maybe 30, were in one case. Lots of Cellini, PM stuff, and diamond dialed DJ's. There was one YG Daytona-C on leather strap, no other sport models. I didn't ask but other watch brands were marked 15-20% off. They also carry Breitling, Tudor, Corum, Bell and Ross, and TAG. Don't know the story but I'm guessing the family just wanted to retire.This leaves only one Mom and Pop, one chain store, and a couple of local mini-chains including the one that runs the Boutique. I kind of liked it when it at least seemed like there was competition.
