Marcello C. Nettuno Bi-Color Chronograph Watch
You don't see combinations like this very often. Here, German Marcello C. has fitted their Nettuno Chronograph watch with a PVD black bezel and PVD black pushers and crown, against a stainless steel case. I think it is a very attractive combo. The look results in sort of a two-tone look that is quite popular these days. It makes the watch very noticeable as well - being more "striking" than models without the color combo. This is the first ever use of PVD in the Nettuno watch collection that I am aware of as well. You will notice of course that there are "mirror" image watches here. As one of the Nettuno Bi-Color Chronograph watches has a steel case with black pushers and bezel, the other version has a PVD black case with steel pushers and a steel bezel. Pretty cool right? Further, the PVD cased version comes with a totally PVD coated bracelet that ought to be really nice. This is one of the best diver's style bracelets on the market that I've experienced, and I'd love to experience it

Montbrillant packaging question
My wife gave me a new Montbrillant Legende LE for Xmas. It was all complete except for the cardboard(?) white wheel (e6b) that usually comes with the documentation. I searched around the net at some that were posted for sale as complete and none included the wheel. Or at least none showed it in any pictures. Do the Montbrillant's not include the wheel? I don't want to make a trip back to the jewelry store if it doesn't come with it.

DSOTM strap question
Has anyone ever tried to put the black strap from a DSOTM onto a standard speedmaster pro? I know that strap is 21mm and the standard moon watch has 20mm lugs, but was wondering if anyone ever tried it (when I had a FOIS I was able to use 20mm straps despite it having a 19mm lug width, but the DSOTM strap might be too thick to compress?)Anyway, any help would be appreciated

Air King - Glad this made it to my collection
While I have heard of this Rolex model before, I have always thought it to be the earlier versions 34mm. And so when I was offered one, I decided to pass on. But the curiosity side of me said that I should check this watch, and there only did I realize that it was a different Air King version after all that escaped my notice because of probably the Daytona mania of Baselworld 2016.Fast forward today, I'm glad to be able to finally land this piece. To be honest, I just can't resist the quirkiness of this watch. Yellow, Green, White, Black �� seldom do you see this mix of color on a Rolex. More so, the busy dial with lots of numerals in different fonts - applied and printed, white gold and just plain white, luminosity and non-luminosity, a Milgauss-like case and anti-magnetic properties with the Explorer 1 indices at 3-6-9 and Mercedes hands, with a combo of Milgauss/Explorer 1 bracelet... indeed lots of things going on with this watch. No wonder this watch can attract strong reaction
