Watch What-If: Swiss Army Dive Master 500 Chronograph
"Watch What-If" is a special column on aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer that asks the playful question "what if an iconic watch you know and love was offered in a different style?" The idea embraces a good timepiece's core design and has fun by offering new colors and material concepts to stimulate your senses. These ideas may be provocative, artistic, or just plain silly. This is about fun, Photoshop, and the celebration of wrist watch design and experimentation. The original design we work off of will always be at the bottom of the article. The designs are brought to life by Beau Hudspeth who does the artwork and concepting after he and I choose the models and styles to focus on. These "special design experiments" are extremely time consuming and labor intensive but we hope you enjoy the results. Ideas and comments are more than welcome.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Quartz
Hi everyone. I was just wondering to see if anyone on the forums had a quartz AP Royal Oak. I have a couple higher end automatic movement watches, but want to have one quartz watch to round out the collection. If you have one, is there anything to look for when purchasing the watch? Are there even fake models for the quartz AP RO's? Any input would be appreciated, and if you wanna throw up pictures I'm always appreciative. Thanks

Today is the day....the wait is over.
Pictures upon arrival.

Yacht-Master Bezel Concerns 16628
Hi, I'm new to the forums and hopefully you can help me out.I'm a little concerned about the longevity of the full gold 16628 bezel. I'm seeing a few listings where the bezel looks like It's been polished poorly or damaged. Is this easy to damage the bezel on the gold model... or is it more the platinum versionS?Bonus questions: does anybody know if the gold yacht-master has full gold links or hallow? And what is the weight of this watch?Looking into this potential option as my first Rolex since it seems to be good value for a relatively modern full gold piece.Thank you in advance

Prices and availability after Basel
I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on pricing and availability of existing Rolex sport watches in the months after Basel?(Like the Daytona C, Hulk and the BLNR) Will prices come down on older references since there may be New and trendy references released that get all the attention?Will people see new references and want to sell their existing ones to get the latest and greatest?What has history shown or what do you think will happen?
