Tissot T-Race Nicky Hayden 2010 Limited Edition Watch
Tissot has a goal to always be associated with the racing circuit in America. Other brands follow things like Formula One and other types of motor sports that people in the US don't really pay attention to. Tissot has been partnered with NASCAR (click here to read about their Danica Patrick watch), showing that it was quite interested to align itself with racing events that Americans might actually be interested it. In watch world gospel, "to be associated with popular sport, is to enjoy increased sales." In the same spirit, here is the newest version of the Tissot T-Race Nicky Hayden watch for 2010. The latest limited edition piece for the star motorcycle racer.Limited to 4999 pieces, the T-Race Nicky Hayden 2010 is an interesting piece that shows how the T-Race is maturing gracefully. Before Tissot redoes the design (which I think will come soon), this is their stock watch used as a base for its motor sports limited edition pieces. The case bezel and crown guard is meant to resemble

1st OMEGA - PO 8500 XL ON RUBBER - W/ PICS
I got my Planet Ocean 8500 XL about a week ago and its been pretty hard to take it off. I spent a lot of time debating between the XL and the 42mm. Up close, I really couldn't see too much difference. But when standing back about 6-10 feet, I could really appreciate the difference and knew the XL was the right choice. The next debate was between the bracelet and the rubber strap. I don't see too much of the strap around on the forums and to me that is a shame. It is easily the nicest rubber strap I have ever tried on. The only one I'd say is close to it is the one on the UN divers. The deployant on the rubber strap is also superb. I cannot really describe what it is about the rubber strap but for some reason I can just appreciate the details of the face of the watch more on the strap versus the bracelet.For those who have said the watch wears smaller on the rubber - I wholeheartedly agree. It also takes a lot of weight out of the watch and I like how it really doesn't look like rubber.

Current SD43 owners...
If Rolex replaces the Red Sea Dweller with White this year what do you plan to do with your watch? If this happens my assumption is the 2017 SD43 could become collectible and valuable, compared to MSRP. 1. Wear it as usual, watches are meant to be worn. 2. Box it up, lock it up for the day it's a valuable collector's watch.I'm considering my options on this. I'd like to preserve it's current nearly perfect state, but would also miss wearing it. Watches shouldn't be purchased as an investment, but some models become valuable over time. Red SD's from the 60's/70's (not sure when they were produced off the top of my head) have proven this could happen to the Red SD43. Even if it's Red for several years. Note: This is not a debate on whether this will happen. I know no one knows. I know they've never run an anniversary model for 1 year. This horse has been beaten to death, revived, then beaten to death again in plenty of other threads. Thanks for your input!
