Pre-Basel 2008 - Certina Podium DS, A Podium Finish Every Time
Certina has been in the business of making outstanding Swiss watches since 1888. Now into its 120th year of enterprise the company has remained true to its vision of innovation and excellence. Even after all this time the watchmaking ethos of the company can be expressed in three key words: style, reliability and precision.This is perfectly illustrated by the latest chronograph model in its emblematic DS Podium line. Equipped with the famous ETA Valgranges movement for large watches, an automatic movement with a very long energy reserve (the power curve is very smooth), and a calibre that lends itself very well to customization, it is growing in stature and confirming its temperament.For many successful years now, Certina has been an official Partner of the BMW Sauber F1 Team and their ace driver Robert Kubica.

The 2nd AP. So which ROO should i pick? Thx!
MY 1st/current AP is black dial 15300. and now ready for the 2nd AP for my collection. so i decided to get one ROO 42mm line since my wrist is only around 6.5 inches. And most watches in my collection that have black/dirty black dial. i do really like ROO RG rubber clad but i do not like the rubber bezel/rubber covered bezel (i just wish they did not cover it). So im thinking to get SS/Carbon one???

Decided to Give My SMP a New Look, Nato Strap!
I've been wanting to get the Omega Ridged Rubber Strap for my SMP for the last ten years or so since I got my SMP. But, I just couldn't justify spending that much on it.My SMP has been great to me and has been my primary watch for the past 10 years. It has a lot of memories and sentimental value. But, I've gone through two clasps on it and I wanted to freshen it up a bit. So, I noticed the trend of the Nato and Zulu straps on the forum and decided to give it a shot.Initially I had an eBay special $5 watch tool kit that included a spring bar removal tool, but the tool SUCKED. So, I spent some money and bought the Bergeon one and I had my Omega bracelet off in minutes.Here are a couple pics of the watch:I'm enjoying it. If you guys have any other suggestions on other cool Nato or Zulu straps, please let me know!

Need Help On Used Rolex Pricing!
Hi All,I am considering buying my first sub and am specifically focused on two models.I am looking to buy used and would very much appreciate getting some thoughts about where these watches currently price in the secondary market.You guessed it - I am looking at116610 (ceramic bezel) and 16610 (aluminum bezel)I assume these are frequently transacted watches (black subs) with defined price points. Looking for both with papers and would really appreciate any color.Thanks,TIMECOP!
