Bell & Ross BR01-92 Gold Ingot Limited Edition Watch
Short post, but here the images say it all. If there was ever a gaudy watch that I wanted, it would be this watch. I typically shy away from euphemistically decadent watches such as this, but I am oddly drawn to the golden hues and texturing of this special limited edition watch from Bell & Ross. Take the extremely popular Bell & Ross BR01 series, make it out of gold, and make it after gold bars, and you have the Bell & Ross BR01-92 Gold Ingot. It is not just another gold watch, but a commentary on luxury itself.?? The entire 46mm wide case is constructed in 18k rose gold, and so are the hands, dial, and hour markers.Special pyramid texturing on the dial really makes the watch special. Just a gold watch would be one thing, but this is a watch with a gold personality, and that is not just me sounding cheesy. It retains everything you like about the Bell & Ross instrument look and appeal. I like how the gold hands are skeletonized so that you can see the gold underneath.

My AP warranty - your input required
So I just bought a AP recently from the gray market.... and I have a question regarding the warranty.As you all know there are 3 leaflets in the warranty book. One is for the client/ customer.... second for the retailer.... and third is for registration, and all 3 are clearly market on leaflets.... Now when you buy an AP from an AD they tear off the second leaflet which says retailer and keep it with them and give the rest of the book back to you...I'm not sure what they do with that leaflet.Now when I got my watch from the gray market.... it has retailer name on it and is also stamped but not signed.... and also the retailer. Leaflet is still in the booklet meaning the retailer didn't take it out...So is my warranty valid? Is everything ok? Can I also register my watch online or using the 3rd leaflet? Thanks in advance for you feedback

Rolex with a leather strap
I have stumbled upon something that I can't seem to learn about via research online.I need the help from TRF experts :)I have understood that some Rolex watch cases destroy two-piece leather straps because they have a sharp edge or a sharp groove in the case.Some examples are 6 digit Subs and GMTs.I am talking about just buying a two-piece leather strap and putting it on.NOT a two-piece strap with CURVED ends or CURVED spring bars.NOT a two piece strap in which you leave the END LINKS on, or buy special end links.Just buy a traditional leather two-piece strap, take off your bracelet and end links, put the strap on and that's it.Apparently, some watch cases destroy such straps.I am very curious about this. I used to think it was only 6 digit subs or GMTs, but apparently 5 digit subs and GMTs do this to.Which Rolex watches do this and which ones don't?What do I look for in a watch, when I am shopping for one that won't destroy a traditional leather strap, without having to take off the b
