Why doesn't Patek update the Aquanaut?
I was wondering whether the aquanaut would look better without the markers around the dial, and only the numerals could be made a bit bigger and moved to the outside of the dial, taking the place of the markers. I think it would modernize the timepiece big time. Can anyone with good photoshop skills try to achieve that?

116610LN incoming
Surprise call from an AD to say I've been bumped to the top of the list following my visit last month and they've just had one arrive today. Do I want it? Yes I do. Deposit paid and it's sitting in the safe for me to collect at my convenience. I wasn't expecting it to arrive so quickly. It was for my wedding in September. Now do I keep it in the box until my wedding day or not.

New DJ II From AD - Opinion ??
Hi all, I'm new here. I haven't had a Rolex in 5+ years and don't have any collection currently. I have been itching to get back in and prefer the DJ 2 over the new 41. Sadly so it seems SS models are in crazy demand and with this model being discontinued for some time there isn't a whole lot to come by. I have always purchased my watches from a local trusted seller but never an AD. I want to keep these watches for the long haul and think the AD route may be beneficial so I am asking what you guys think regarding a discount knowing the above. DJ 2 Fluted SS black stick dial msrp $9100 - 13% discount selling $7900 shipped to my office. In the past I have only been a 20%+ strike price guy but with the current situation I know there's better out there but I haven't had any luck finding it from an AD. Heck even the 2nd market is close in price. What do you guys think and can anyone help with a better deal from an AD?P.S. I was offered 17% off on the rhodium diamond but I didn't

VERSUS: Sea (Deepsea 116660) to Sky (Explorer 1016)
Fourth edition of the VERSUS post/picture. What is VERSUS? Well, I thought it would be fun to compare two watches (and only those two watches) and discuss pros/cons by outlining the differences and getting folks' ideas/thoughts/opinions on TRF. We got folks here that have been collecting and studying these things for decades all the way to those who are just starting to venture into the crazy world of Rolex (and everyone in between). Therefore, it would be fun and educational!For this edition, we have a watch famous for being in the depths of the ocean and a watch famous for reaching the highest peak in the world. A Sea-Dweller Deepsea 116660 and a Explorer 1016.Some obvious things:Modern v. vintage44mm case v. 36 mm caseWhich do you prefer and why?Previous VERSUS:1. VERSUS: Submariner 1680 v. 166102.
