aBlogtoRead.com Celebrates Over 300 Articles Published: Now Go Read Them All
I wish I could say that it was a struggle and that the elements were against me. The truth is that most of my writing has flowed smoothly from my fingers to your screen. With lots more to write about each day, my only limitation is time and your attention span. If I could write full time about watches, and perhaps other items of interest; I would gladly.So unlike the battles in the movie 300, my personal 300 have been easier to accomplish, and with far fewer special effects. Though I am sure painted on abdominal muscles (a la the movie), would have use from time to time.I have no plans of stopping my writing of course, and hope you'll stick around for more. You'll notice typos and minor mistakes from time to time in the articles. I apologize for this, it is the trade-off of writing so frequently and with such organic composure. It is either ultra-polished content when I get around to it, or the words directly from my thoughts as they flow, allowing for the frequency with which I post.

Measurement Request Please
I just took delivery of my first AP and it comes with an alligator strap, lovely, but probably not durable to every day use. Would anyone be so kind as to measure an Offshore 42mm and 44mm please and also a diver. Specifically the width at the lugs and the width where the clasp would close.Many thanks.p.s.Mine is 28x20 with deployant. I know I can probably buy an aftermarket band but was wondering if a regular rubber strap would fit.

Bought a new watch today

How much do you insure your 5711 for?
I bought mine late last year when retail was around 25k. If something happened now it would now cost around 30k (if I could find one at retail) or closer to 50k otherwise...Just interested to hear peoples thoughts!

SD from 2003 and water
All,I have a SD from 2003 that is in my regular rotation. I'm heading out on spring break and was planning on taking it along. I'm not planning on diving, just swimming and fishing in the ocean. I've never had the watch serviced and it keep perfect time. I searched the forum and it looks like I should be concerned about the gaskets being dried out and it might leak. I don't have time to pressure test it before leaving for the trip. What are your thoughts about swimming with it?TIA
