Alain Silberstein watch bands are among the most preferred watch bands
Many of us do not think twice before buying a watch band to replace the original damaged or broken one. However, for those who are fashion conscious, the task of choosing the right band is a cautious and more time consuming one. It is important to choose a watchband that syncs perfectly with your watch and more importantly with your style. Otherwise the mismatch can be too glaring. Alain Silberstein watch bands are among the most preferred watch bands because they allow you to make a style statement

BLUE: AT 2503.80 and Rolex 116234 DateJust
List,I have been looking for my first luxury watch for my 50th b-day/25th anniversary. I am drawn towards the 2503.33 (white with blue markers), but have never seen or been able to try one on to be sure that is is the one.Recently, however, I was traveling in another city and walked into a Rolex dealer on a whim. The saleslady and I struck up a conversation and she brought out new old stock Rolex 116234 datejust with the blue dial and stick markers. It had the most beautiful blue dial I have ever seen. I put it on and found I almost could not take my eyes off it. The shop has had it for some time and wants to sell, so she was willing to give me 25% off. This makes the price for a brand new DJ at around $5k.I know that Omega made the 2500 AT in a blue dial/silver hands version, but I have only seen pictures of it. Likewise it has not been made in awhile, so any one of these I find is going to be used and (may) need service.Question: Does anyone have experience with the 2503.80 bl

Ultrasonic Cleaners
I've been thinking of getting a cheapo one for about a year and yesterday laid down my cash. I took off the GMT (2234) bracelet and scrubbed it with dish wash liquid, water and a tooth brush. When I had got it super clean I put it in the ultrasonic to see if it would really dislodge unseen dirt from between the links and in the pins. I filled the little tank with water and put in a little concentrated ultrasonic cleaner and, well, after 3 minutes the water was black. These things really do work! Ran it for another 3 minutes in clean solution and got a little more out second time. My Omega bracelet is now as clean as the day I bought it. From now on I'm going to run my bracelets through this puppy once a year.
