Corum Admiral��s Cup Challenger 44 Chrono Rubber
Corum fuses vulcanized rubber to the Admiral's Cup Challenger 44’s steel case to add color and to create a non-slip surface that is highly useful in wet environments. The rubber case and matching straps have a matte finish and a velvet-like feel. The case maintains the distinctive twelve-sided shape and the inner bezel ring adorned with nautical pennants that are Admiral’s Cup trademarks. Find pricing and wallpaper inside. The Challenger 44 Chrono Rubber is powered by a COSC-chronometer-certified automatic movement visible through a transparent caseback and sports a Corum-engraved rotor that matches the color of the watch. The center chronograph seconds hand bears the Corum key counterweight. The angled date display is positioned at 4:30. The three subdials present the 30 minute totalizer at 3 o’clock, 12 hour totalizer at 6 o’clock, and continuous seconds at 9 o’clock. Hands, minute numerals, subdials and chevrons are highlighted by luminescent white, gra

Advice needed on first AP
I am very close to buying my first AP and I could not be happier. I have decided on the 15400 in white or blue; however, I am trying to justify paying full price for the blue dial with a 5 year boutique warranty vs. getting a nice discount at an AD for the white dial. Can anyone recommend an AD that could help with a discount on the white dial? It is worth noting that my current collection does not include a white or blue dial anymore. Also, this will be a daily wearer. Thank for your thoughts!Ryan

No book :(
Just called my AD here in Hawaii and they didn't know that the ADs were getting the books. They thought it was only given out in Switzerland for the celebration. Stinks that I just bought my watch a month ago and I really want a copy of the book. Anyone know where else I can get it?

Thinking of adding color to my collection
Currently have a BLRO and WG Sub.All white metal. Flat back and flat blue dials.Thinking of adding some color (although the Platona is still an option).What YG or RG watch would you add to my collection?Unfortunately, I am only interested in sports models or SkD.I am torn between the YG blue sunburst sub vs the YG green dial gmt.But, I also like the Daytona YG racing green dial.Then again....maybe a two for....SS/YG sub plus SS/RG Yachtmaster.Just wondering.I keep changing my mind on what I want so I will probably wait to see what comes out at Basel but of the YG/RG watches sports models now....which do you prefer?Thanks.

used submariner 16610 vs new explorer (HELP!)
Okay guys, I have a big debate going on. I have a $6500 Budget for a new watch. Do I buy a used 10 year old Submariner date or buy a new Explorer. It seems most Submariners date 16610 in my price range will be around 10 years old. Most have either no box and no papers or have no service history. I have found one from Jewelers on time for $6500 no box and no papers but has recently been serviced by them ($500). It comes with 2 year warranty. It is a 2005 model. They seem very trust worthy. I can pick up a brand new explorer from a trusted seller for slightly under the $6500.
