Bell & Ross BR 01 Casino Watch
I am not a gambler but gaming can be fun. So fun that a lot of high-end watch brands have devised casino-themed timepieces that either suggest or directly emulate gaming. A popular example was the Girard-Perregaux Jackpot Tourbillon of several years ago. It had a tourbillon, actual slot machine, and cost over $600,000. More recently, Christophe Claret offered his extremely complicated 21 Blackjack watch with a roulette, dice, and blackjack game all in one timepiece. There have been watches that focus on everything from poker to simply being in a casino. This Bell & Ross BR01-92? Casino is all about roulette.The world first saw this timepiece back in 2011 when Bell & Ross created a piece unique Casino watch for the Only Watch auction.

Missing my 5712
I have been on vacation in Thailand for 7 days, and decided not to take my PP but my BLNR, having worn my PP every day for 10 days before leaving I got used to the light weight and not feeling the watch, but thought I won't swim with the PP while I have no problem to swim with the Rolex, but am really missing my watch, it's stupid but it's always a painful thing for me to leave my favorite watch in the bank when I leave for 2 weeks, even more when for 1 month like now.At least I will be super happy to get it back, it took me less time to get it in the first place��

Datejust with ice blue or glacial dial? Aftermarket or original?
Was wondering if some of the Rolex experts could help me out on this. I know these dials typically come on platinum and day date models. I have seen some online on datejusts, typically with diamonds, but I think they are aftermarket non factory dials. So my question is:Did Rolex ever release a datejust with a factory pale blue or glacial or ice blue dial (without the flashy diamonds)? If so is there a reference number or year I can use to help me source one? Preferably with a fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet in 36mm? Thank you in advance.

Somehow you always come back to Rolex SS
Crisp, clean, and pure.
