Dropped my Speedy Pro this morning
A pretty rough way to start the morning. I dropped the watch onto tile floor directly on the crystal. The crystal is obviously getting replaced, however the chrono second and minute hand snag on eachother now. The movement is still keeping great time, so I think I got lucky.Whoops!

Rolex in Alaska!
Well after 25 years of wanting a Rolex I finally pulled the trigger and bought a Submariner date. 116410 Black!! My desire to own started out when I first seen a sub while on vacation in Hawaii. And every time I took the family on vacations undoubtedly was in some mall that a Rolex AD was. I tried one on every year and always had a great white glove experience. Two months ago I called my Alaska Anchorage Rolex AD and got on the list And was told that they have not received one in 6 months and to be patient. I received a call from Macey, the Rolex sales lady! I paid for it over the phone and and picked it up a week later when I got home from work. The watch tech removed two links and it now fits like a glove. I paid the MSRP of 8550$ and I am very glad to own this watch. It's beautiful and I will wear it daily. Ted

Is the Sky Dweller��s movement really the most complex Rolex makes?
Let me start this thread by saying that I rally, really like the SS Sky D. Would be white for me. Or maybe black. Who cares. I love them both And I also appreciate that the combination of an annual calander and second time zone are very clever and represent great value in SS for what you get. But all this talk of the Sky D movement being the most complicated that Rolex makes? That being the case, why is the SS Sky D significantly cheaper than the SS YM2? I've just read a thread about a supposed price increase for the SS Sky D and much talk about it being too cheap. But I don't agree. The Saros system whilst extremely clever is actually quite simple in operation. And the 24 hour wheel is fundamentally a function of simple engineering. So I'd put it the forum that Rolex's most complicated movement is actually that in the YM2 and that the Sky D is actually quite fairly priced for what you get and not the bargain that some would suggest?Thoughts?
