Hey all :-)

So, I unfortunately have a few pairs of plastic lens sunglasses (Oakley and Maui Jim that I do like) that have become scratched or the surfaces have become distorted from the hot Bangkok climate... I can't seem to get any OEM replacements, but these sunglasses were quite expensive and the Oakleys are a limited titanium frame edition.

Has anyone polished their plastic lenses back to smooth? I'm thinking either toothpaste or the plexi watch crystal polish.

Looks good to me. How about the Dial? Is it matte?

Yes, the dial is matte and extremely well done, even under a loupe!

I just took delivery of this fine BP piece from Andrew... As I've said before, I'm not really a Rolex enthusiast, but this has definitely changed my feelings. Previous experience with Subs and SDs was that they were too small and light for me, but this is a whole different beast! It feels very substantial on my wrist, but not overbearing... a perfect fit. 

The bezel is really well done, with 'platinum' hued indices and the pearl seems perfect. The dial is very high quality and all the markers are flawless; Lume is bright and even. The crystal sticks up a bit from the bezel and the edge of it is beveled beautifully. I really love the bracelet, as it's super comfortable with the glidelock clasp. I might go for a Rubber B strap with this clasp down the track just to tone it down and tool it up a notch or 2 :-)

Maybe some experts can chime in on the photos, but I can't flaw this, especially for under $250

Thanks Guys.   Andrew is checking to see if it's dirt and dust.

Nice watch! It's probably started to patina already :-)

Good to hear, looking forward to mine.  Are the markers on the bezel insert platinum?

I believe you 'could' call them platinum...

Is that one of Andrews recent specials SeaDweller with the SA3135 ?  I have one on its way.

Yes, it is... I really don't know much about Rolex, and never was able to really like one on my wrist... but this particular model is beautiful and the quality is fantastic. It's extremely comfortable with the glidelock bracelet and not too small like the 5513 I tried to love.

Oh oh!!! I think I just got the bug with this 116600 from Andrew! :-O

It doesn't look that great on Trusty's site either, but then again, I can't see for [censored]

Still on my wrist... I've been downsizing after many years of Panerai... there was a time when I thought this was too small to wear, but I'm so glad I kept it :-)
