Interesting outing
I'm not sure which forum to post this in given the range of brands involved, but thought I'd try the AP forum, as this is where I spend most of my time. Last night I used the excuse of a trip to my tailor to get out of the office to do a quick circuit of some of the grey dealers and ADs in Tsim Sha Tsui and encountered quite a nice selection of watches. The Rolex ADs had nothing of interest, but I did come across the Sea-dweller 43 - for an absurd premium over MSRP (in line with what these are going for here, though) but it was good to try it on. And I must say that I found it a bit disappointing - it seemed much smaller than I'd been expecting (not helped by putting it on after taking off my AP 44!). I liked it...didn't love it - but removing any sense of urgency to acquire this is good for my bank balance.

5167 for a 5164
My AD has a 5164a Aquanaut travel time he will sell me for $14,000 plus my Aquanaut 5167a. I love the 5164 but still also like my 5167. I know I should just buy the 5164 outright but I just don't want to spend $30k on a watch right now. Any thoughts?

Automatic movements and vibration
This is more of a movement question vs a Rolex specific question. What are some activities where you wouldn't want to wear a watch with an automatic movement?I'm thinking of high vibration situations like riding a motorcycle or pushing a lawn mower. Can you do damage to an automatic movement this way?

DD40 Lume hands and hour markers
I have noticed the lack of what would appear to be lume markers for the hour hands and markers on the deconstructed romans as well as the diamond dials. From what I can tell only two dials have lume. For those of you with the deconstructed romans or diamond dials, does this bother you?

Would you pay extra $ for a Daytona with flyback?
Just a random thought after seeing some dressier chronographs with flyback capabilities..With the daytona being a sport watch geared for automotive racing wouldn't a flyback function be a logical and useful complication? Would an increase price be justified with this added complication? I don't think Rolex has ever made a flyback...right? Perhaps they are working on it...obligatory daytona picture:
