Sinn 103 St Flieger Chronograph Review
The Sinn Flieger 103 line is a staple of the brand's collection, and features a number of models with broad variation in design, complication and finishing. The 103 St we're reviewing is arguably the most simple and classically designed of them all, with base Valjoux 7750 movement, polished case and acrylic crystal. Other 103 models expand on the line's core design to include titanium cases, GMT functionality, sapphire crystal and, of course, Sinn's signature technologies such as DIAPAL (lubricant free escapement) and Ar-Dehumidifying which prevents moisture from building within the watch case as it ages. Even the 103 Classic, modeled after the original 103 A of the 1960's now features proprietary technology. These more sophisticated enhancements have become a calling card for Sinn since the brand was sold in 1994 from Helmut Sinn, its founder, to Lothar Schmidt. For a complete list of in-house technologies, please see Sinn's website.The 103 reviewed here has strong roots to the vintag

Rolex YM40 116622 owners - thoughts?
Hey TRFers,I'm a little torn between the blue dial and rhodium dial for the YM40 116622. I already have the rhodium dial for an OP39 so part of me thinks having the blue dial would be a good choice.The rhodium dial, however, looks great too - especially with that cyan highlights! It's an obvious like as I have something similar already. When side by side, it looks like the sportier bigger brother to the OP which I quite like.I have a few questions that may help me settle, especially from those who have owned one or both for a while:1) Does the dial colour change after time for either? I have seen some pics where the blue dial looks dark and has lost it's luster - can't tell if that's an age thing or a lighting/photo thing? Suppose the latter but want to confirm.2) Does anyone know the history of the dials? Some interesting facts and the date of introduction? For example, i know the rhodium dial is found on the YM37 and the YM40 but is newer than the blue dial (introduced 2012??).3) Any

Rolex case back carnage #6
ok so we are now up to no 6, this one is off a 1968 Rolex Date just, I'm amazed by the damage and also the sellers confidence that it will sell for $49.00 , I think scrap stainless is worth a lot less than that? apparently: The thread appears to be in good working condition, for parts or repair...... no returns.

Guess I'll just be happy!
I put this old girl on this morning! The big Basel news kind of inspired me. Thought briefly about putting my name on the list but alas this isn't going anywhere because it was my first. I know this hobby isn't about need but do I need another Pepsi GMT with a jubilee? This one also does lots of tricks like transforming the Jubilee into an Oyster bracelet and the Pepsi Bezel can become a Coke.All this said! If I didn't already have one my AD would already have my name. I look forward to seeing one in the flesh.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

How Does Smooth Bezel, PCL DJ41 Wear?
I was wondering if anyone has pics of a well used DJ41 (with smooth bezel, oyster bracelet), as I'm curious how the smooth bezel and PCLs are wearing on the DJ.
