Questions about the Royal Oak
I've been considering purchasing a new RO 15400 41mm the last few days. I have a few questions for those that have purchased one before.1. Can the purchase price be negotiated? The AD I visited didn't seem like they would negotiate. Asking price is $17,800 dlrs. 2. Black or White/silver dial? I really like the white dial but I'm concern that wearing it with jeans and t-shirt will look awkward. Is viewing the hands difficult on the white/silverish dial?3. I was also looking the VC overseas (white dial time and date only) is that comparable to the RO?I plan to wear it frequently.

I would buy this in a hearbeat
Personally, I don't condone Frankenwatches, but this .flickr/photos/shaneli...7624117378632/ mod has me salivating. If OMEGA made this, there is virtually no price that I wouldn't pay for one.

I've been looking for a nice 3572.50 and received this over the weekend. The bracelet is very comfortable but I would like to add a strap for a little variety. Any strap pictures would be appreciated. I find the dial easier to read than any other Chrongraph I have owned. On a full manual wind, the watch ran 50 hours. Don't have anything to compare to but I thought that was good. Special thanks to Fr. John for his recommendations and answering my many questions. It's great to have so many resources on TRF.

SD43 bracelet sizing.
Hi all,I recently replaced my Deepsea with a SD43, I loved the Deepsea but it was just a little too thick for my wrist.My SD43 was sized in the AD with 4 1/2 links on the 6 o clock side and 3 1/2 links with the divers extension on the 12 o clock side. Glide lock is one click from fully in and the bracelet fits great for size. This leaves me with 3 spare links.I'm thinking of removing the divers extension to get a little more curvature, have many of you done this or left it as standard with divers extension installed? I know a lot did it with DS. My wrist size is 6.75 but pretty flat. For anyone with a similar wrist size, how many links have you got at each side to balance the bracelet?Also I never really took notice at the AD before it was sized but does anyone know how the bracelets come from the factory, is it 5 1/2 links at 6 o clock and the rest at 12?Many thanks. :)
