This is going to be amazing. LHOOQ is going to be excited too!!! He loves him some 1016! (and rightfully so).

Alternatively, ask if you could take it with you to the bathroom. "No? How about if you just close your eyes for a minute?"

Rolex calls its blue lume "Chromalight" and the question is whether or not it's the same as blue Superluminova (C7? C9?). The question was raised by JJ in this TRF thread, but you will learn almost nothing by reading it! You might want to ask one of the lume sellers, like watchlume.

'Maybe you guys have a test drive "try before you buy" program? I'll bring it right back...pinky promise.'

I sent a couple of emails out regarding the lume color...so I'll let you know what I hear. That forum is funny, LHOOQ, I've read about 20 threads about the new Explorer and they all go the exact same way and nothing gets accomplished:

1) someone asks a quality question

2) no one knows the answer and 'guesses'

3) it turns into a bashing war of the "I hate it, the hands are too small"

Thanks krpster,

But that only confirms the sub. Looks like I'll have to go into the ad sometime soon and see if I can get them to lower the lights for me.

LHOOQ,

You are a good man, my friend. Taking care of me across multiple boards now!!!

Hey guys, bought one of the new 39mm Explorers. Have a couple mod ideas I'm going to do to it and wanted some feedback.

I'm going to get it relumed, but want to know what color blue the gen is. Is it the aqua blue or the true blue? I searched through the gen rolex forums and couldn't come up with a good pic. Can anyone link to one so I can send it with the watch so it is just right?!

Also, I asked a couple of the modders about making the dial matte as opposed to glossy. They quoted me a price, but I was curious if this will be successful or not? And what are the downsides?

Thanks, looking forward to finishing this and posting the pics!

Personally given the style of your choice I would go gen VC croc probably brown I think for a white dial

I like this suggestion. Any idea where to pick one up without paying the VC premium?

Hey guys,

Just curious if anyone had any recommendations for straps on my VC I just bought.

I'm looking for certain straps that would be fitting for a watch like a VC, and I want a brown strap.

Here's the watch:

I'm almost there!

errr...miscount.

Awesome! I'm in the market and like these a lot.

Another shoot that just emphasizes my lack of skills in photography.

Furu, I completely agree. That is a beautiful watch and even better photography skills...think I can pull that off with my disposable?

Unreal collection!!! I like leather straps on watches. Seems like it provides a certain level of class to them. You have some great pieces that I will be trying to search out soon!

I used it and loved it. Great total work out. Probably the best all in one home workout I've done. Challenging but yet realistic.
