Everest Watch Straps, Sporty Straps For The Active Rolex Owner
So you've just bought a new Rolex. A Submariner Date, perhaps. It's a dive watch, a tool watch, and you want to do what you were meant to do with it: take it to the nearest large body of water, strap it over your wetsuit, and get it wet. 1 OF 4 But you, like most Rolex owners, want to keep the bracelet in as close-to-pristine condition as possible. If only there were a strap you could put your Sub on, to preserve its minty appearance while still allowing you to wear it while diving, boating, surfing. Enter Everest Horology Products. 2 OF 4 There are dozens – if not many more – aftermarket strap companies, catering to the watch enthusiasts who don't wish to remain married to the straps or bracelets their watches came on. Hodinkee is no exception.

I'm Thinking of Cheating
Since I purchased my Sub four years ago I have only thought of Rolex.Lately, though, while helping a buddy find a leather strap Omega, I found myself drawn to the leather strap Aqua Terra pictured below. In person, it really pops!My wandering eye made me wonder about getting a leather strap Rolex.

When turning the crown, there is a grating feeling and only the hour hand a date move, the second and minute hand do not move when turning the crown. Any help and advice would be appreciated. Brian

A bit of luck
Hello all,As we all know, things occasionally work out unexpectedly. I woke up yesterday intending to go to work for a few hours, but as the week left me tired, added to a slight hangover, I decided not to go. I was prepared to stay in and relax, when I remembered an employee at my local Rolex AD suggesting I check out another store about an hour away from me. With nothing better to do, and a fairly nice day out, I thought of going to see what Patek watches they might have. I've been checking out the the 3700, 5711/1A and 5167A but was yet to see any of these in the metal. Still, an hour is a long drive, so I decided to give them a call, hoping there was a chance there was at least a 5167A I could see to make the trip worth it. To my utter astonishment, the guy says he has a 5711/1A and a 5167A that arrived that very morning. He said it was available, and he sounded almost as shocked as I was. So, I drove down to check it out. I only intended to look, and felt lucky just to get a chanc
