Alternative bands with Seamasters?
I'd like to see some pics of seamasters with aftermarket bands that people like. I'm pretty new to the watch thing, and I plan on getting a Seamaster GMT as my first automatic watch. The NATO bands seem to be popular. Any other suggestions for different bands? I'll work up to a Rolex in a few years. My conscience won't let me buy a Rolex until my house is payed off in a couple of years. I thought I might start with an Omega, and learn about Rolex over the next few years.david

Panerai Submersible questions
I'm considering a PAM Submersible but have a few questions. First and foremost, which sub would you recommend? The obvious choices are the 389, 243, or 382 Bronzo. The issue is, I have an extremely small wrist, between 6 and 6.25inches so I think the 47mm PAMs will look funny. Do any of you have a tiny wrist but still wear the submersibles? If so, please recommend something to me and post pictures of how they look on 6inch wrists.Secondly, since my wrist is so small, the rubber strap is too big on me. My uncle has the 112 on rubber and it was too big even on the last hole but when he put it on one of his shorter leather straps it was fine. The 44mm isn't too big but I have yet to try on a 47mm. Since the rubber is too big for me, what type of strap would you suggest I get if I want to be able to bring it swimming? I like the distressed leathers, but am not sure what I'd do for water. What do you all suggest? If you have pictures of subs in water, please post!Thank you all.

Local guy to me busted.
I'm sure I've seen this company name mentioned on here a few times .theargus.co.uk/news/16034...Rolex_watches/

Stressed: Heritage BB In House or ETA
I've spent the last 4 hours reading countless forums and answers (some even posted on TRF) and I'm still torn.What would you Rolex vets choose, the in house or ETA? I don't want to say I'm a movement SNOB but I do like knowing that I have some in house, custom to that specific watch but at the same time I heard the in house variant is quite a bit thicker (can I get confirmation from someone who handled both?). I don't care about how expensive the servicing costs MIGHT BE down the line, I prefer the in house face but ETA is fine too. The look is not a deal breaker for me. Some complain about the rivets but that doesn't apply as I will be going with the strap. Simply put, what is the superior, what is the preferred, what would YOU get between the two? I do know that the new one has 70+ hour power reserve and more anti-magnetic properties.
