HourTime Show Watch Podcast Episode 132 - Yes, a Teenage Grandpa Tutor
Apparently this is the show about shameless self promotion. At least according to John. First I plug the limited edition straps I had Teenage Grandpa made for watches-dealer readers (which a few more of you should buy before they run out). Then we talk about the YES watch you can win this month by entering here on watches-dealer. After that we talk about a see-through Cartier watch and Tudor coming back to the US. Just before we stop, for kicks we laugh about the terrible looking (and named) U-Boat Unicum (a picture of which is below for laughs).Listen to the HourTime Show watch podcast episode 132 here.Download the MP3 

AP price rise - did it actually happen
I was under the impression that the price rise was due 2nd jan, but looking at online ADs here in the UK (watch gallery) it doesn't seem to have happened...can anyone confirm if any ADs have bumped the price up?

Do Rolex dials fade from the sun?
I own a 116619LB (WG Sub blue matte dial) Is there risk of the dial fading due to excessive sun exposure?

Finally my first Rolex!
Hi Guys i'm new been doing lots of reading & looking & finally pulled the trigger on a Explorer II 16570 with black dial D series. anyway just wanted ask a few questions.. The watch that i bought was complete papers booklets etc etc... the only thing that is missing is the box. being its my first Rolex i actually kind of want to own a Rolex box just to make my set complete. so what box do i need to get for a 2006 D series Explorer II 16570? Another question is any chance i could be lucky & get the 3186 movement on a 2006 D Series Explorer II? from reading i know the D series leaning towards to the older movement but hey i might be wrong i know some of you would say you need to open to see. but the watch is not on my hand yet so i'm just looking to see if if anyone had a D series 3186 movementcan't wait to get the watch to to accompany my Speedy Pro gonna post pictures when it here

Rolex damaged badly in accident!
NOT MINE.... It is of one of the good youtuber who does watch reviews. He reviewed the Rolex loaned from a friend and he was ready to buy it for $5K. He was going to meet him with the watch and kept on the rooftop and put his daughter in car seat etc and forgot about the watch until he was half way. He came back to see his Rolex box shattered at the corner of the road with multiple cars crashing it badly. He's paying the guy $5K anyways.My question is.. can this Rolex be ever restored? Is it worth it? I think the restoration will exceed $5K. What do you think? Have you seen such a bad state of a Rolex?Only this much is left of the watch.What can be done? Thanks.
