Edox Grand Ocean Decentrique Date Automatic Watch
Here is another new Edox watch for 2009, the Grand Ocean Decentrique Date Automatic. If you aren't sure about the "decentrique" part of the name, just see how the face itself is "decentered." Yes, putting the suffix "ique" on just about anything gives you the ability to charge a 10-20% premium when selling it. Its a marketing fact (no its not actually).?? Sarcasm aside, the watch is pretty nice, and gives me the hopes of owning a styling asymmetrical faced watch that I might actually be able to afford someday (you hear that Audemars Piguet Millenary collection?). Actually, the Audemars Piguet watch is not decentered but rather has two elliptical dials that create the appearance of being asymmetric while the watch face is still centered.Like the Edox Grand Ocean Jumping Hour watch that I recently discuss, the Grand Ocean Decentrique shares the same beautifully constructed case in 45mm comprised of a mix of rubber, PVD coated and un coated rose gold plated steel. It is certainly the type

Hitting no 10 today and may be a point to stop now
Just picked up a 116610 today in response to my ADs call last night. Just sat down in my office a while ago to do a stock-take and realized I'm hitting the mark of 10 Rolexes since the Daytona C which got me started it all in Dec 2016 ...The sound of this isn't right somehow - almost like I've turned into an addict - I'm thinking to myself I must stop buying more Rolex from now on .... In case you wonder here's the list I came up with: 1. 116500LN white Daytona C2. 116520 black3. 16520 (U series) black4. 16520 (A series) black5. 16570 Polar6. 1680 red Mk I7. 116660 deepsea blue 8. 126600 seadweller red 50th anniversary9. 114060 Sub C no date10. 116610 Sub CSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Teach me in brief about a Daytona!
Hi All!I'm looking to buy a Daytona. In all honesty, I've done a bit of research, still have some more to do. I thought hearing from the pros would be a good way to start.I'm a big dude, 6'4 and about 205. I toyed with the idea of getting a DeepSea but i already have a sea dweller and I just couldn't drop $10K on a bigger version, even though it would look great on my big wrists.So now I'm looking at Daytona's. I'd love to get a TT but I don't know the differences between all the different model numbers. I checked eBay pricing and it seems a decent example can be had for about $12K, although there are others that cost far more but look the same. This is where I'm confused, In full disclosure I'll never sell it so I'm not looking for something that will go up in value or a super rare collectors item. I'm looking for something that looks clean, and is a good examole if the series.What model numbers should I hunt for? Are there differences like in the subs? For example, I love my SD becau
Question - is there such a thing as a half link for the Daytona bracelet?
Seems the only way I can get my Daytona (or could get my 116520) to fit perfectly is to use the easy link extended and the micro adjustment all the way out - when I close the easy link and add one link and adjust the micro adjustment all the way in it wears just a little too loose. It appears there is something in between when the easy link is out. Has anyone else experienced this? I've got it fitting fine and never had an issue with my 116520 easy link wearing out or stretching but would prefer a solution that doesn't involve the easy link engaged 99% of the time.
