Falling in love with the 5196
Hey All,I've been wanting to add a precious metal dress watch for while, but my eye has been firmly set on my next stainless sports watch acquisition. My friend and I have been talking dress watches and took a trip to NYC to do some browsing. After having the 5196 on, I'm obsessed. I have a Rolex Sub and I've always been a one watch guy, but I really want a piece of Haute Horlogerie. Before being derailed by the 5196 my plan was to get the RO 15202 and it be my only watch. It's obviously not as robust as the Sub, so I've been having doubts. With the price difference between what the 5196 is available for and the 15202, I would be able to justify the stretch and keep the Sub and get the 5196. I feel like I'd have a pretty well rounded two watch collection. Does that make any sense to anyone?? haha Am I nuts to be thinking to forgo the Jumbo? I looked at the 5196J and the 'R'. I only tried on the 'J' because the strap was already flexed and I felt bad bending the perfect strap of the 'R'

5170g or 5980/1R
Which of these 2 pieces does everybody prefer and why? I'm still undecided on which one to go for. Thanks

Is it possible for crystal to be etched? (hard water?)
I just noticed that my newer SD43 crystal appears to be etched, the marks look just like hard water spots on a car. Very disconcerting.- I've already rinsed with water and washed with soap, soft sponge - no difference- I'm 100% sure the spots are there. Under certain angles and different lighting I can't see them, but under my desk lamp they are clearly visible.- Once seen, cannot be unseen.... I sometimes play with different chemicals such as brake parts cleaner, carb cleaner etc. I don't recall getting anything on here but that's likely it. How to get this off? CLR? Hit it with a buffing pad an Dremel? Automotive cutting compound? Nail polish remover? (Please don't say send it to the RSC!!!)ThanksPic for proofUse this URL for full resolution pichttps://i.imgur/aoFO4Sq.jpg

I feel that the SD4000c will eventually
become one of the most sought after Rolex’s ever! It’s such a special watch! Prices are climbing and eventually they’ll become harder to find.Attachment 1Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got to explain this one to my fianc��e...
Wasn't even close to looking for this watch, but the AD brought it out whilst I was looking at a day date 40 and asked if I wanted it - tried it on and loved the green dial so went for it! Will have to make sure my next watch is ordered through them!I know there's a lot of people with these here, but you can't blame an excited watch guy for sharing his new pick up!!
