How Facebook Fans Designed A Unique Rpaige Watch For Auction
Did you ever try to get one of the big brand watch companies to make a watch just for you?? Well, they do...but for a price that would make a colossal hangover seem like distant bells ringing.So, when my watch company's Facebook page, Rpaige Watch Co., reached 5,000 likes, I decided that it would interesting and fun to celebrate the milestone by having my Facebook followers, and visitors, collectively design one of my watches...then auction it off.I had no insights or expectations as to whether it would be a success or failure, and that really wasn't the issue��I just thought it would be a fun for them and a great promotional event and fun for me.Here was the original post of the contest:I'd like to invite all of you in designing a new Rpaige Wrocket watch that I will auction off on our Facebook page when it's completed.Here's how it will work:1. The group picks a case material��. either Steel or titanium��2.The group picks a dial from several that I'll post ��.I can post up to 20 dials��3.

Seems like I'm seeing an increased demand for the discontinued AP RG Rubber clad lately. Do you think it will increase in value and become a collectable piece?

Spring bar, tang buckle and strap size for 5110
Hi all,I'd like to upgrade a few parts on my 5110, which is still rockin' the original strap/spring bars.Does anyone know what the correct size of quick release spring bars to buy for the 5110? My guess is 21/20mm, but wanted to triple check before buying.Also, I was thinking of swapping the deployant for a tang buckle. What is the correct tang buckle size? 16mm?I realize I'd have to buy a new strap to fit the tang buckle and was assuming the strap dimensions would still be 20mm lug and 16mm end. Hope that is also correct.Thanks for the help!

Anything discontinued?
There was so much speculation:SmurfBLROMilgausDSSDBut has anything been dropped in the professional line up except for the dial on BLRO and the change to the DSSD which I guess means v1 is discontinued?Has Rolex disco'd models mid year or at other times than Basel in the past?
