what should I choose? your comment please.
I am thinking of flipping my SS diver to either a mint condition Bumble bee or the new offshore 26470 (grey colour)which one you think is a better choice.

Change Up
I flirted w/the idea of changing the original Black PP croc strap w/a brown PP strap on the 5726A. Well no more flirting, I did it today! Blk croc straps are nice, but I love brown croc straps... some may not like the change, but I think changes can be good things...

Sell Panerai to make way for another, or add?
Hi everyone, I'm after some advice please.I currently have a Panerai 40mm GMT (PAM 244) and a Rolex Sea Dweller (ceramic 116600). I bought the Panerai brand new in January 2008 and it's a fantastic watch. I wanted it for about five years before I eventually got it (originally I wanted the 159 but it became the 244 after some time). Nearly 10 years later the watch is still with me, in virtually as new condition as I don't wear my nice watches that often and when I do I'm very careful.I recently started looking at Panerai again and have come across the 1392 (42mm 1950 case etc). I managed to try it on and it feels better on the wrist than my 244 - lighter weight, and thinner, so it doesn't feel as top heavy.The question is, do I buy the 1392 and add it, or do I sell the 244? I'm concerned I will miss the 244 after having had it so long. I have made a certain attachment to it! If I sell it I don't know how much I will get but I think I might feel it is worth more to me than the money I re

Rolex Vs. Panerai
I'm positive this subject has been covered before. However, in the interest of good fun and conversation, what is your take on the two? I've had a few very noteworthy sources tell me they don't think Panerai measures up to Rolex. That being said, there are waves of Panerai fans that seem to be everywhere, and many bleed into the Rolex world as well.So, how do YOU compare the two??

An Introduction and an Appreciation
Gentlemen I've been on TRF for a while now (when I did not own a Rolex) and was initially rather intimidated by the passion and knowledge that a lot of you have. The technical and non-technical discussions, made me realise there's an entire ecosystem here. I've been wearing a Tag Carrera for about 3 years now and was (and am) really happy with it. But even before, I'd always had this itch for a Rolex. Every 6 months roughly, I'd visit (my now) AD who was super patient with me. I turned 30 a few months ago and something went off in my head. I'd been looking at the BLNR for a long while and had made up my mind. A confluence of circumstance made me think that now was the time. When I went down to my AD though, he also showed me the GMT Master II 116710LN. I've heard that a watch must speak to you. And the LN sang to me. I booked it a month ago and it finally arrived on Wednesday. Here's a few pictures of (what I think) is a magnificent and elegant watch. This is my first post on TRF, and
