New Speedmaster
I own a few Rolex, Breitling and a Ball watch and decided to try a Speedmaster, basic watch, Hesalite, leather deployment. This watch lives up to its reputation.Very comfortable, light weight and easy to use. I can see now why it's so widely sold and touted. Got a great deal on a new one and love it.

Speedy Pro chrono function slows/stops the watch
Hi Guys,My Speedmaster Pro moon watch (saphire sandwich) kinda crapped out on me this morning. I haven't worn it for a couple of days, although I kept it wound (I was rotating it with my datejust). I put it on and started the chrono function and it got to about fifteen seconds when the whole thing ground to a halt! It's fully wound and if I start it now it'll run, but cause quite a substantial amount of time loss (approx a minute or two per hour). I can see the balance wheel slows when I start the chrono, and then speeds up when I stop it.The watch is a 2009 and hasn't been serviced yet, although I probably only wear/have the momement wound for six months out of the year.My suspicion is that the lubrication is failing causing more frictional losses in the gear train, and when the chronograph starts its too much for the main spring and it slows/halts the movement.What do you all reckon? Has anyone had experience with this kind of issue before?Cheers,Duncan.

Buying a Rolex from a former AD
Okay guys, this one has me losing sleep.I met a jeweler who used to be an AD. He has a watch that I am interested in, that is new old stock.He says he bought it, among others, with his AD license back when he was an AD, then lost the Rolex line, and never sold it. I asked him if the watch will still have Rolex warranty if I purchase it, and he said yes (if I am not mistaken, but I am confident this is what he was said. He said yes, and I will give you in store warranty too or something like that.)I am having a hard time believing this because I know that an AD activates the warranty at the date of sale to a customer.Since he bought the watch, lost the Rolex line, and still hasn't sold the watch, if I buy it, I feel like I am buying from a grey dealer as opposed to an AD, and so he can't activate the warranty, because he is no longer an AD.Am I right? Can you all share your thoughts please?Just a rookie trying to learn

Will the new GMT 3285 movement update across the line?
I'm assuming yes, and the website just hasn't been updated, but you never know with Rolex.Any past history that might indicate the movement will be updated across the GMT range this year?

Time to change
In January they will be 5 years old that I have my Sub. 116610. It's time to look for new horizons. The ideal would be a Daytona 116500. Will there be much difference? The two models are in shortage. What do you think?Another thing, I'm seeing that many sellers are offering watches on Facebook. I never thought that this was a place for that. I do not encourage myself to to sell or exchange in that way. What do you think?
