26471 sr?
Have anyone seen this model before ? I was browsing in the ap website and saw this model when I view similar watch to the 26470st and never saw one. Not my cup of tea though but, would be nice to get to know more about it when was it released? Anyone has a shot of it or seen it in person ? Can't seem to find anything about it in google the blue dial might be nicer in person thoSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Watch Winder recommendations?
Any watch winder recommendations for a ROC? I have Orbita Spartas for my 2 Rolexs. I'm not too concerned with case or looks, since I'll probably put it inside a drawer or safe. Just want to get a good 2nd home for my baby. While I'd spend $$$ if it's really worth it for the longevity of the watch (since I sometimes don't get to wear it for a several day stretch), I'd rather not break the bank too badly.Thanks in advance.

Damaged Case
Sadly my Breitling was hit by my wife's keys and took some damage to the case.I'm sure I can have the case replaced during a service but when I brought it to an AD they said that a servicing would be close to $700 and didn't have a price for the case. The watch isn't due for a service for another couple of years and I was pretty shocked at the price. Damn near half of what I paid for the watch (new).Does anyone know where else I might be able to get the case replaced?The ding is near the 12 o'clock, right beneath the 5 on the bezel...Many thanks.Scott

Average Cost of Speedy Service ???
What is the average cost of an Omega Speedy Service from Omega? Just curious, I don't like to buy watches that cost alot to maintain. I do maintain them and I can't imagine that Omega Speedy costs too much, but just want to know. I'm thinking just a movement service. Believe it or not, I like scratches and nicks (provided they aren't massive or on the xtal). Will Omega honor a request that you not polish the case? Also, do any of you guys us locals to do your service? I sent my Panerai (6497 movement) to a Rolex autorized repairer and it was completed at a fraction of the cost Panerai would charge. Panerai starts at $500 for an 6497. That is rediculous IMHO. Thanks in advance.

1st Rolex Purchase Advice. (Update)
We'll what an eventful and fruitful day, travelled to our capital city of Cardiff in pursuit of my first choice a seadweller anniversary, if that was not going to be possible,which it became abundantly clear (5 year waiting list at Fraser Hart) then I was prepared to consider the DSSD black or my favourite out of the 2 the DSSD deep blue.After speaking with the dealer at Fraser Hart I enquired about waiting lists for the black and blue only to be told roughly 6 weeks which I was prepared to wait.I along with my good lady attended at Watches of Switzerland and was told a story that was very similar, during my conversation with the dealer Anita, her colleague informed her that a deep blue version was available for me to try, but it was to be purchased tomorrow by someone who had bought a DSSD black whilst the blue was on order, I tried the watch on, fell in love with it, put my name on their list and left the store content with what I was going to eventually purchase.My wife and I went t
