Understanding 'The Owl' RO 25572
Hi guysSo, I'm not the biggest AP lover. I've always gravitated towards JLC but I've always been a fan of 'the owl', the RO day date (with or without moon phase). I think they are works of art in their simplicity and have had a love affair with them for some time now.I've only purchased one or two brand new pieces and tend to go for vintage watches and have my eye on a 1984 steel and gold variation of the owl (25572SAO/0789SA02). As ever, I research the hell out of the watches I eventually pick up (or don't) but I've now been thrown two curve balls in my current 'owl' pursuit.The first is understanding what movement actually powers this particular RO? Having now seen the archive extract of the watch it states 2224/2810 when up to this point I believed that it was the 2124/2810 combination inside the case, particularly for one this age. Why/how could this be inside the watch?Secondly, the crown of this particular owl is gold. Again, all my research, discussions and previous watches I've

RB2, why so much love???
Im curious why so much love for the RB2? Don't get me wrong, it's sweet as hell, and I'd sell BOTH my arms for the Platinum version (blue dial/strap). Though at $100k, I will have to settle for the also sweet as hell Navy Themes.So, for the RB2, is it the movement, Ti case, looks, limited edition, or just a combo?

Omega '57 Speedmaster
If anyone is interested, I saw the new Omega '57 Speedmaster at the Omega Boutique in Los Angeles, at the Beverly Center. They had just one in stock, in their vault. Black dial, SS bracelet. At least, it was there as of Friday.Also, Feldmar's, also in LA, just received one today. Black dial, SS bracelet (I believe). They will take orders from out of state as well. First class AD and they usually will discount.I passed on the watch...it's gorgeous and a perfect size, but the timing isn't right for me. So, given that it's fairly new and not in a lot of stores yet, thought I'd put out the word...

Not a bad traveling trio!
The 2016 additions with the 2015. Forget how beautiful the 5130 is in the metal.

Question regarding water in a watch
Hello everyone at TRF. I wanted to pose a hypothetical question to you. If your watch got water in it, but was sent to a Rolex Service Center for a full service, would you have any concerns about the long term effects on the watch?Obviously Rolex will do a great job removing the water and cleaning the parts. But could there be any negative residual impact in the watch in the future? Or once Rolex repairs it would that be essentially the equivalent of water never having been in there in the first place?Anyway, I hope this question makes sense. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and comments.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
