Best Deal on Speedmaster Pro
My AD (online) lied to me and told me they had a Speedy pro in stock, only to find out it's on backorder after I ordered it. Got a decent deal at $2.5K new, but was wondering if any of you knew either a used one (excellent+ shape) or new one (legit gray market is ok) that could beat that, and has it in stock. Appreciate any help.Jason

Aiming for 2-3 watches max
I decided to do like Jorge and to try to limit myself to 2 or 3 watches, at the moment I have 7, not counting an old quartz Cartier Santos, and a very old manual wound Omega chrono, one was given to me on my 18th birthday by my grandmother and the Omega was my father's, so these 2 aren't going anywhere even if I don't wear them, so let's say that in modern pieces I have 7, 3 Rolex, 3 Panerai and 1 Blancpain.I find myself wearing 1 maybe 2 but the others being in the safe practically all the time.I got the Blancpain 7 days ago but am not wearing as I will flip it to put my finances afloat after buying the Hulk and the 5712.Now I am wearing 24/7 my Rolex BLNR.So decided to put everything on sale, and once that is sold and I have received my 5712 and my 116610 LV, will have only those 2, I might add another but am hesitating between an Aquanaut, SS or a Royal Oak, love both but maybe the RO is a little too close to the PP, and maybe an Aquanaut is more appropriate. One thing is sure I nee

Strap options for BLNR
I just purchased my first Rolex. It's an awesome time piece and the one issue I have with it is the polished center links. I'm not terribly rough on my watches but I know it will get scratches. That being said, I think I want to look at replacing the bracelet for summer beach vacations/cruising. I'd imagine sand could do a number on the polish on those center links.I have looked into both RubberB and Everest. I am just curious I as to what other options people are going with. Any nato or zulus on your Batman?? And lastly, how difficult is the swap?? Any specific tools needed? My AD offered to do the swap for me but I would hate to continue bringining it their every couple of weeks throughout the summer. On a side note, he offered to polish the links once a year free of charge as well.
