OK-EXPERTS...I have included some good info so lets discuss which is the best...316L is a common rep material as is 440. Lets get in to why one vs. the other please...seem 440 is harder/heavier but 316L offers better resistance to corrosion which seems important in a daily beater especially if you are water bound...let me know what you think... Stainless Steel 316L or called: 316L SCQ 3R60 Prodec 316L Project 70 316L ®* Project 7000 Stainless 316L ®* Speed-E-Mac 316L VLX316U Principal Design Features 316L is often substituted for 316 stainless due to its superior weldability with no appreciable difference in price or properties.

Sorry, www.swissexpert.net ... The guy does in fact respond to emails so I just wondered if a "saavy" might take a look... JEC

What do you mean...? I've been in contact with a vendor from this site, but just wondered if anyone was familiar with the particular vendor in question.

Any thoughts? JEC

this watch does look good...I am thinking about a one of these from www.swissexpert.com...will you take a look and critique? Also, what does "lumed" mean...

that is beautiful...if you dont mind what did that run you?

Please see my Thread entitled Rolex Explorer I...i think you may have meaningful input

I am very close to purchasing one of the Rolex Explorer I's from www.swissexpert.com, with whom i have NO affiliation. Take a look at thier model Explorer I...it looks great. Two questions... 1. anyone familiar with them here? and, 2. They have a laser etched Rolex crown above the 6 on the sapphire crystal which is quasi-transparent. Is this Authentic on new models?...seems strange. Thanks for any feedback. JEC

Is rep legitimate with it's water resistance...meaning can I stick underwater for a bit. Mind you...I can't do my own waterproofing so this is a BIG issue. JEC

how do I get in touch with these guys...and is this the model in the Ultimate PO review...that one looks nice and even quotes a price however they don't have a website or contact info etc. your help is appreciated
