Beautiful Bentley Watch Safe By Stockinger Begs, 'Please Steal Me'
The people behind this limited edition line of Bentley branded safes by English Stockinger say that they felt traditional safes were too ugly and bland. Big rugged looking cubes that just say "eh" and sit there in a drab gray or black. Well that is true, but that was the point. They are supposed to be hidden and out of site, not to attract attention and give the idea that boring paper work is contained within only interesting and of value to the owner. Welcome the age of truly flaunting your wealth.When you make a safe really attractive, the message to would-be thieves, is "look how expensive I am as a safe. Can you image how much more expensive the items inside are?" Yea, that is the idea, lure them with rich polished wood in a choice of finishes and materials, and well finished metals. Tease guests with kleptomaniac compulsions into considering how much explosives would just make the who thing look terrible after destruction.If anyone just up and snatched the safe, the joke would be

Confused and disappointed - RO 15400ST
Decided to get a real watch recently and felt in love with the 15400ST in black but never actually tried one until today, I think...When I tried at the AD today, it looked so much smaller than the pictures and videos on peoples wrists I've seen all over the internet, it was very disappointing...The price tag on it was $17800 which matches the model and the sales person said it was the 41mm.Is it possible that I was shown a 37mm or 39mm instead of 41mm with that price tag?Btw my wrist is 6.75, nothing abnormal.

Dating a vintage Omega
I read somewhere that if you send your vintage Omega to Bienne for a service they will return the watch with a report on date of build,sale date etc,is this true?if so, is it possible to get this info without sending the watch to Bienne,I have seen the Omega dates lists around but I beleive they could be out +/- a year or two,or are these date lists about as near as I'm likely to get to knowing the date of my watch? cheers

44mm impulse buy (x2)
On the way home one night (which may coincidentally have coincided with an exuberant night out with a fellow TRF member - https://.rolexforums/showthread.php?t=569068), I noticed that a trusted seller had listed two of the Rolexes on my target list for sale....so after a few emails, a deal was hatched and a dual incoming was on the way. A few days later - these arrived...They are great pieces - and neither could be accused of being under the radar. Unfortunately, I've been flat out busy with no time to get them sized since I received them. That will happen in due course and, when it does, I'm very much looking forward to getting these two into the rotation.
