Talking Watches: With Kevin Rose
Believe it or not, before I became interested in watches, I was interested in other things. My obsession as a teenager and into my twenties was indeed, unsurprisingly, the Internet. It seems almost silly to say that now, but when I was 14 years old and my friends were playing football on a Saturday afternoon, I was (at times) writing code, building my own website. There was a time when "the Internet" and its use was anything but a given. Clearly I wasn't alone in my fascination with the Web, and there were many that I looked up to when it came to Web-based entrepreneurship. One such person was Kevin Rose.Kevin Rose co-founded Digg in his early twenties, and went on to become a staple of the original dot-com era. Since, he's become a storied angel investor, placing capital into the likes of companies that I think might really be onto something – companies like Twitter, Square, Uber, and Facebook.

Two Tone 'Tudes!!
I am curious about the attitudes towards Rolex two tone watches. Seems like most shy away from them in favor of Stainless. I have one, an older 16013 which I like a lot. This year I'll be picking up a second in the form of a CHNR. Some times I see Rolex TT models selling at ADs for less than their stainless counter parts on the secondary market. I know I could have purchase a TT Daytona for less than my stainless 116500. Baffling to me.

How many full-size links in the 2016+ Explorer 214270 bracelet?
Hello TRF,I'm looking into a deal on a 214270 Explorer (mk2 / Post 2016 Basel World), and was wondering if anyone knew how many full size links are supposed to come on its oyster bracelet?Not including end links, it seems as if it should come with 12 full size links (6 at 12 and 6 at 6), and the 13th adjustment link under the clasp. However, I can't find anything to confirm this.Can anyone who owns one confirm or post pics of their unsized bracelet? How much should I reasonably ask to discount the watch if it is missing a link?Any help is appreciated!Thanks!
