Rubber B straps for RO...
Not sure if this is common news but Rubber B is now carrying rubber straps for the Royal Oaks. I'm not sure what to make of it...on one hand it's cool to have the extra option but on the other, the RO is all about the bracelet and since it's not water resistant the rubber strap doesn't make as much sense.Anyone have one or plan to try one?

rubber band of 5164 can fit 5130?
Dear all...has anyone of you tried or come across any information of 5164 aquanaut rubber band fit into the 5130 world time? I measured the lug to lug width on both and it seems that the width is pretty much the same. My taste has moved away from leather strap to rubber band or bracelet. If the 5164 rubber band could fit into 5130, that will be awesome combination...

On a journey...
Hello,I'm finally on a journey for my first panerai. As a beginner working on this brand, I'm totally overwhelmed with all the details and options available, but I guess this is one of the aspects that make this brand so cool.My goal is to find a 44mm watch with a brushed case. It might sound simple, but it's not. There are really few options on the market.After some research, I liked the radiomir marina 8 days titanium (564). My only concern is the brown (tobacco) dial. I'm not totally convinced about it. I would like to hear what you guys think about this particular model.I really appreciate all comments. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

explorer 2 16570 polar
Hello,I've been looking for a rolex to add to my 16610LV; been gravitating around several models: 5513 non-matte dial, 16800, 16700, 16750, but I found myself always drawn back to the explorer 16570. Been attracted to the cream markers on the white dial. I found a U series (circa 1998), titrium wording on the dial, full set; very good condition. The only doubt I have is that the lume is still active - not super luminova like but rather luminova. I have to make up my mind by this week-end or release it...my question to the forum:- is it possible to have a titrium marked dial with luminova indicies?- is it possible for the titrium lume be glowing still?- what are the chances that the lume starts turning yellow?- should I just be looking for an older model altogether with already yellow markers ? ( although the prices in Japan are really hiking upwards on these babies)...- should I go the opposite drection and aim for one with the 3186 movement?The price is definitely high compared to las
