Question for Diver owners
A basic one here but I just got my Diver yesterday so I don't know :)How thight should the crown (both) be to avoid water damage? I don't want to mess up the rubber on the crown by over doing it but at the same time I want to avoid water damage, does it has Rolex type mechanism ( sub and others ) that water won't get in even unscrued?The truth is I don't plan using it for diving but I want to make sure if I use it in the pool or other lite water activities I am ok.ThanksSimon

My First Breitling!
I'm the first to admit, I'm not a TRUE Breitling fanatic. It's through a weird turn of events that I ended up with this watch. There doesn't seem to be much info regarding it, other then it was produced for one year in 2004 and this particular model was limited to 100 pcs. It's a shame it's only 41.5mm, I wish it were 44mm, but I am enjoying it none the less. Plus it looks good in my watch winder next to my DSSD and PAM 270. Anybody know where I can get a new factory strap for a good price?

talk me out of a 8500 PO
Ok guys/gals... i currently have an AP diver and a GMTIIC. previous watches a Breitling SA and a Pam 112. Im seriously considering the PO in 45.5 mm. I think for the money ill go ahead and get the bracelet and then grab an isofrane for it. I know the OEM rubber is supposed to be awesome but i cant hardly bring myself to pay the same for a rubber strap as a bracelet. I also hear the bracelets are hard to size. is this true? Im sold in the isofranes so thats a given. 22mm correct? i think the PO with the orange markers would give me something different in my collection even though i know the silver markers are more classic and probably my favorite version. i just need something different than my other two black face watches and i think the orange will set it off. im pretty sure on the 45.5 mm since i had no issues with a 44mm panerai. the 48mm super avenger was a tad heavy on bracelet for extended wear but im hoping the PO isnt as bad plus i can always throw the isofrane on

Fluorescent Diamonds on Serti Dial
I happened to put my UV light on my Serti GMT last night and noticed that the diamonds at 4 and 5 were fluorescent and the other 6 diamonds were not. From other google searches I have found that although Rolex may use flawless gems in their watches they appear to not believe florescence is a flaw. Any one else notice fluorescent diamonds on your Rolex ?? Lots of opinions on whether or not diamond fluorescence is a flaw or not. In natural light the diamonds look fine.
