YG PP Sighting
One of my customers was wearing this the other day. I have got to say, this watch was just beautiful in person. I snuck this picture when he was chatting with someone else. I would have asked for a better shot, but this guy is way old school and I did not want to potentially offend him. Probably no big deal to you whales over here in the deep end of the ocean, but I was blown away and figured I would share.

New book...
Bought myself a new Panerai book a few days ago...here's some pics...it's a very good read,cheers

Rolex Passion Report is now predicting ...
Red lettering and a red gmt hand as a replacement for the green on the otherwise black-bezeled gmt. Possibly with a new movement? It’s somewhat interesting given the reports from some that there is a shortage of Ln.Mods, I’m not sure if it’s worth consolidating Rpr or Basel reports into one thread. I think Rpr (Phillip, I think) has at least a moderately good track record in his predictions enough to mention his latest update. rolexpassionreport

decision help !
Hey y'all I've recently join the forum and I am so fascinated with all you guy's knowledge about Rolex and your collection choice when it comes to Rolex . I've recently acquired and DD40 rose gold to my collection as my second Rolex ,as my 16600 which I bought more than 10 years ago . As I've become more active in this forum I started to see that the SS sport watch is become very popular among all the Rolex's owner . Here is my question , I am thinking about upgrading my 16600 to newer model of SS sport , my first choice is SD43 ,2nd is BLNR Batman ,3rd is TT sub blue dial or Hulk 4 is Daytona Ceramic (I know I won't be able to buy one now ) Which watch do u think it's the best to get ?
