ROC Chrono Malfunction - any ideas why/how?
As I have posted, I just picked up an AP ROC 25860 and love it. The only problem I found out after I had completed my Daytona trade is that the minute hand on the chrono register does not advance past the first minute (everything works perfectly until 1 min, 59 seconds. Then the seconds hand of the chrono passes 12:00 and keeps going as it should, but the minute hand doesn't advance to 2 or any further). I checked it for about a minute and a half in the store so it appeared the chrono worked as it should. Now the dealer is dealing with it and will of course fix it, so that's not the problem. Not knowing that much about the drive of the chrono in these watches, I was wondering if anyone had ideas of what is going on or if they have had similar experiences?Thanks,Steve

my new baby... so happy!!!
I gave my Black Bond Chronograph to my dad as a present last month... I gave it to him for all the sacrifices he made as a parent by working at two jobs to put me and my sisters through college!!! He really never got any big present like this and has always loved the old blue chronograph... also if there were presents for mom and dad it was usually a combined present for mom and dad and it was usually what mom wanted and dad just went along with it (new stuff for the house or if it was for him a small power tool)... but this time, it was just gonna be a big surprise for him and it was, :DSo since the Bond was gone I have been rocking the Casio Riseman G-Shock that my loving GF gave me for Xmas...But finally, on March 4th... I did it... I went to the favorite Omega AD store and procured this... the watch I've been lusting for since January...Now next on the list a Omega Speedmaster MoonWatch... and then my saving for my first Rolex, :D hopefully a SS Sub (2010 when it gets upgraded)...

BLNR: I֪ Noticing a Trend
I’m not the “matching” type of guy. In fact, I’m anti-matching often times. I don’t necessarily want to clash, but I avoid looking too matchy-matchy. My father matches everything. Literally, everything. And I inherited his limited attention span, love of cars, love of watches, and dedication to his wife. But not his desire to match. That said, I’m noticing a very unconscious trend with me. Maybe it’s a sign from the watch gods.

BLNR vs. HULK
Hi Everyone:I am getting an opportunity to buy a hulk or batman directly from an AD, they have a shipment coming in February. So the big question is: what would you pick? Batman or Hulk? Hulk I am getting for $ 8750 and the Batman for $ 8700, so not a big difference in price....please advise...

Ok, so its a massive "if" but......
What if Rolex really have stopped 126600 production and what if March sees the new SD43 with an all white text dial?(Not that I believe either of those have/will happen, but play along with me) That would give us say 10 months production of the Single Red 50th Anniversary Sea Dweller. And probably all manufactured in 2017, the anniversary year. Would that make a Single Red SD43 the shortest variant production run in Rolex history?Or have there been shorter runs of a variant in the past?
