Hands-On: Cellini Rolex Prince: The Rolex Nobody Knows (But You Should)
The Rolex Prince is not only not terribly well known –even to Rolex aficionados –it’s almost shockingly unknown; in the days we had ours in for review, quite a lot of pretty hard-core watch people saw it, and it was mistaken for . . . well, mistaken for just about everything but a Rolex. This is a kind of peculiar circumstance, especially for as immutable-tradition-is-a-virtue bunch as Rolex fans are supposed to be, because the Prince, in fact, goes back one hell of a lot further than any other existing Rolex model –the first Prince watches were made by Rolex all the way back in 1928, which is not that far off from the founding of the company in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf. 1 OF 7 The Prince was, and is, a rectangular wristwatch, and the two first models –the famous 971 and 1343 watches –both used a rectangular movement made by Aegler, which supplied both Rolex and Gruen at the time. The movements used for the Prince watches were rectangul

Hi,Back from Vacation with my new Panerai 339.Thought I'd take a family shot.

Is it possible for crystal to be etched? (hard water?)
I just noticed that my newer SD43 crystal appears to be etched, the marks look just like hard water spots on a car. Very disconcerting.- I've already rinsed with water and washed with soap, soft sponge - no difference- I'm 100% sure the spots are there. Under certain angles and different lighting I can't see them, but under my desk lamp they are clearly visible.- Once seen, cannot be unseen.... I sometimes play with different chemicals such as brake parts cleaner, carb cleaner etc. I don't recall getting anything on here but that's likely it. How to get this off? CLR? Hit it with a buffing pad an Dremel? Automotive cutting compound? Nail polish remover? (Please don't say send it to the RSC!!!)ThanksPic for proofUse this URL for full resolution pichttps://i.imgur/aoFO4Sq.jpg

SkyDweller Disappointment
I visited one of the local ADs today and tried on both the new SkyDweller and the old SeaDweller. I learned that I can't wear a watch larger than 40mm. Very disappointed. The SeaDweller was a nice watch, but there wasn't anything about it that made me like it better than the Sub. Oh well, back to thinking about the Sub.

Dream profession and a Rolex
Every young soul has a dream profession that sooner or later we have to part ways due to various life reasons, other have the privilege to live the ultimate dream. Just wanted to make a different thread where we can just share these Ultimate dream professions and which Rolex would you be using for that profession. As of today, I am an Architect and Entrepreneur and I love what I do everyday, but my dream profession would be traveling the world as a National Geographic photographer and my watch would be an Explorer 1. I love the simplicity and the versatility of the Explorer, good for climbing mountains, exploring cities and moving around, rugged and unbreakable, but also seeking for no attention.Would love to hear your stories.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
