Rolex Yacht-Master 116655 Watch In Everose Gold With Black Ceramic Bezel For 2015
New for 2015, Rolex has debuted a very attractive and sporty new version of the Rolex Yacht-Master that now comes on a new type of strap called Rolex Oysterflex. More on that in a second. This reference 116655 Yacht-Master is 40mm wide but there will also be the 37mm wide ref. 268655 Yacht-Master. Unlike the traditional Yacht-Master that has been known for platinum bezels this new 2015 Yacht-Master model will come equipped with a black Cerachrom (ceramic) bezel. We really love this new black and gold theme for the Yacht-Master that is both luxurious but not blingy.The Rolex Yacht-Master 116655 contains the in-house made caliber 3135 automatic movement while the smaller 268655 contains the 2236 automatic movement. Both are more or less functionally the same being three-hand movements with the date. What is very nice about the new Cerachrom bezel is Rolex's ability to craft it with the markers in relief - which is a new process that we are interested in hearing about. This adds a new cha

Finally an officially an owner
Hi gents,Long time reader, decided to join this forum after my first purchase. On lunar new years day I decided to get my 15400ST black dial. If anyone is in Australia and has their watch insured, any recommendation?

15202 case back finishing
Hi guys,I'm a pretty new owner of a 15202. A few days after purchasing I noticed a flaw on the dial, so I basically had to send it right back for service.I've just picked it back up and noticed that the case back is pretty rough and unpolished, with the surface looking different than the rest of thew case and bracelet. I didn't notice this when I first bought the watch, and it seems like fairly poor finishing for a watch of this level.Is this how they all are?For comparison, when I look on their website and watch the 360 video, they make it look smooth and polished.thanks for your thoughts.

Considering Purchase
I'm considering a PAM 523 (Luminor 1950 42mm white dial). So far I've mainly collected Rolexes.Anything I need to consider or another model you may suggest? I have smaller wrist so anything more than 42 is too big.Should I expect to get a discount from a Panerai AD?Thanks for the info.

Who has gotten "the call" without AD relationship?
I will openly admit that I am starting this thread for self-assurance, but hopefully it will prove useful to others as well.I have called ADs all around the USA in an attempt to get on as many lists as possible for the Daytona 116500ln. Most have been brutally honest in that it would be impossible or at least take 5+ years, however a few were optimistic that they could make something happen within a somewhat reasonable timeframe given the popularity of the model (a few months to a year.)From what I've read on this forum (many here are more knowledgeable than most AD's) trying to obtain a ceramic Daytona without a well established relationship with an AD is simply impossible. However, I have seen a few members state that hope is not lost, and if you're willing to branch and and be persistent, eventually your hard work will pay off.So now I'm asking for testimonies from those of you who have been in my situation, and have actually seen results. After getting on a list with no prior hi
