Royal oak offshores folding deployment clasp
Gents, curious as to the durability of these blades and this clasp. Are they easily bent? Seem to be rather thin, but made of a strong steel. When I'm snapping the watch on I️ worry that I'm bending them.Thanks!

Hey guys. Help needed on my first Omega purchase - a Speedmaster
Hey guys, hope you are all doing well.I have to start by saying that I am relatively new in the watch world.I have currently a Rolex SS Sub, and a Patek Aquanaut.Both watches that I enjoy and wear a lot.After much consideration, and lurking around, I want to add more complications to my collection over the years, and I would love to start with a Chrono.At first I was thinking of a Daytona. In all honesty, I didn't fall in love with it as much as others have, it just didn't sing to me as much.Then I cam across the speed master. I absolutely love the history of that piece. Omega brings more diversity to my collection which I also like.I just see so many different versions, and am a little lost on which ones are the more admired ones.How does one pick from so many different versions.Are the numbered edition special?I have recently seen one on a leather strap.Appreciate your help and thank you!

Omega James Bond Limited edition....
This is an excellent watch......

Does Patek make a half-link for their bracelets?
I am in between links on my Aquanaut 5167 1/A and keep forgetting to ask my AD when I make my monthly visit...thought I would ask the real experts. Please let me know if anyone has any experience with the possibility of a half-link...thank you!!

Authorized Dealer Sales Volume Data
I understand everything with Rolex seems to be unattainable as of late BUT I wanted to compile this thread with any information available. I think it will help to a degree to see that some AD's get a ton more goodies and others just get 36mm DD's. So here goes:If you have any concrete sales volume data regardless of how detailed it may or may not be please post. I am sure monthly, quarterly, and yearly Rolex SA send there AD's or reps at the very least a tally of what was sold/sent etc along with objectives. If you have access to this information and don't mind posting it please do so for the sake of the forum.My only intention is to try and make sense of the way Rolex operates. My hope is to assist some people who are paying over MSRP with a fighting chance to guide them in the direction of there desired purchase.Please don't post your speculation or what my AD said. My intention of this thread is to aggregate concrete data for the interest of the forum and its members.Thank you
