Hands-On: With The New 39 MM Rolex Oyster Perpetual
A question we receive from readers all the time is, "I have around $5,000 to spend, and I want one watch I can wear every single day, and will last me the rest of my life – what do I buy?" There are plenty of good options, certainly, but not many great options. If we are talking about a product that will last a lifetime, we tend to think of blue-chip lines from Omega, JLC, IWC, and certainly, Rolex. Today at Baselworld, Rolex showed us a brand new watch that we think might become a stock answer for the question above – a new Oyster Perpetual, now in 39 mm, and retailing for $5,700. 1 OF 4 The Oyster Perpetual is the entry level Rolex (RIP "Air-King"), but still one of the absolute core products of the collection. The Oyster Perpetual comes in five, yes five, different case sizes, with the latest being a perfect 39 mm.

How does a (new) Speedmaster Professional wear compared to an Explorer?
For whatever reason there's a Rolex AD less than two miles from my house, but the nearest Omega AD is an hour away. So I haven't yet had the chance to go and put on a Speedmaster Professional.I've been wanting a new Hesalite Moonwatch for awhile. Maybe Rolex has my senses skewed, but the Speedy Pro seems like a great value, killer looks, storied history, etc. I wonder though how it'll wear...I know it's easy to find negative comments online, but I've read that the bracelet isn't awesome because there isn't enough adjustability, it's heavy, the links are thick and big, etc. I know it comes with a NATO as well, but I really think I'm 99% a bracelet guy (though I agree it looks great on a NATO).So I'm curious if anyone on here has had extended wrist time with both, particularly the current Speedmaster iteration, and can give me your thoughts.

SpeedMaster water resistance?
Hey gang, I ws looking at my SM yesterday and decided it could use a cleaning. The only thing is that I don't know whether its ok to take a toothbrush and running water to it. I know about the water resistance of Rolex watches, but what about the Speedmaster? I'd sure hate to turn the movement into a solid lump of rust.
