Cracked dial
I recently purchased a pre-owned PAM 051 from a well-established pre-owned dealer. The dealer offers its own 1-year warranty, and also has its own in-house watchmaker. I have had the watch less than two weeks, and have only worn it three times since receiving it. The third time I wore it, I noticed an imperfection on the dial that only shows up when the light hits it a certain way. In many lighting situations, it is fairly unnoticeable, which is why I did not see it right away. However, it is also the kind of blemish that, once you know it's there, you see it every time you look at the watch. Under a loupe, I can see the imperfection is actually a hairline crack in the dial, resulting in a slight upward buckling of the dial surface in that area. The crack starts at a lume dot, and runs straight through several minute hash marks. My loupe has a measuring square, and I have measured the crack to be approximately 4mm in length.

Rolex Pepsi SS/WG GMT
I have to say i have never been a fan of the WG ceramic pepsi gmt, not because of the bezel because i love it. I just think doing a WG only was a low blow and only a way to push up the price point because of the fact it is PM to bring in the Pepsi bezel lovers that would buy the watch on the bezel alone.Personally i think the oyster bracelet would have been a better choice for SS and Jubilee a right choice for WG. I belive the fact they went the other way around shows me it was a marketing call, now that they brought in as much sales in of WG that played around with the style to sell it in SS.I just dont think that was COOL...

Where do you wear your Rolex?
So I was talking to a watch buddy of mine. I own an Speedy and a Mark 18 that I wear almost anywhere with no issue. My Rolex Milgauss however, I do hesitant wearing it out to work meetings or to certain functions. Now don't get me wrong, I love wearing it. I just feel a bit self conscious in certain situations. Such as wearing it to visit my customers. Even though I'm driving a Honda Accord and I know many who drive 5 series or Lexus's that cost way more than my watch. Also they do not hold their value like my watches either.I'm not sure if I'm the only one who feels this way? Just wanted to hear others thoughts on the subject.
