Royal Oak offshore all year round watch?
I own the 44 mm Royal Oak Offshore in rose gold. Now that's its fall and getting cooler I find myself wondering if, due to the rubber strap, this is not more of a summer/vacation watch rather than an all year around watch? What's the general consensus on this? Can the Offshores be worn through the winter? Maybe I'm overthinking this...but I'm fairly particular about these things...

Finally broke it in...
In a rite of passage as old as time (or, in my case, as old as me), no watch is considered fully mine until it takes its inaugural dip in the pool.Like its brother before it......the FC Diver finally got wet!Before:After:Happy Summer, folks!Regards,Adam

I love my Seamaster but...
I bought my Seamaster (midsize chronometer blue dial, skeleton hands) in September of 2002. It was my first high end timepiece. I always loved the look of the Seamaster and decided to bite the bullitt and shell out the 1300 odd dollars at an authorized dealer.So I have had the watch for nearly 6 full years now and thought I would write my general feeling about the timepiece.For the first few years it gained about 6 seconds per day. Right at the end of the COSC parameters. It now loses about 4 seconds per day (I have never had it serviced).The biggest gripe I have with the watch is the rotating bezel. It is almost worthless because it is so difficult to grip and turn.The red tip of the second hand seems to have faded to orange.The watch does attract scratches to the bracelet.While I love the clasp, I really wish it had the fine tuning like oyster bracelets.I wish the crown was a little beefier.The lume is amazing.The watch is very rugged.I have a friend with a Submariner no date th
