Very nice...and no seconds at 6 issues

Awesome to have you guys...thanks for hanging out with us!!

Beauties! @freddy333 loving the Kompressor shot @Lani and Ubi... something tells me a Tudor is in my future Beautiful!! @wwarren I love the spitfire...one of the most underrated reps imho Here's what I'm rocking today:

Check it out I guess they cut hair too !!!!

Bumping this for the members who have asked me about bracelet treatments

@BROM, Freddy, S- thanks guys! Compliments on a Rolex from Freddy and S are quite humbling as they are some of the most experienced Rollie (gen and rep) people I know! Hope to get pictures up tomorrow... it's a rainy day here in Massachusetts

Happy Birthday!! (I hope I have the right day this time )

Wow...amazing!

Ha no worries...it's a 20' Neptune Sunbird

Haha...excellent stuff!

Haha...the mark of a true perfectionist... one of the best "Handicaps" to have IMHO Looks awesome!!

Thanks TT and SubFrog...yeah- tell you the truth...Jubilee band looks awesome with good cigars...I'll probably light one up tomorrow with a nice glass of Talisker

Vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual My latest review and pictorial (I apologize in advance for the blurry, indoor photos- I'll add some outdoor/natural light photos tomorrow) The Rolex Oyster Perpetual... one of my favorite Rolexes of all time and, more importantly, one of my favorite watches of all time. First, a bit of history (not that you're not familiar with it) From Repair-Place.com: A History of Rolex Watches Hans Wilsdorf founded the company we now know as Rolex in 1905. Born in Kulmbach, Germany in 1881, the company, Wilsdorf & Davies, was based in London. By 1908 it had become one of the leading watch companies in the UK. It was in this year that he coined the name Rolex. Official Chronometer Certification was awarded to Rolex in 1910 from the

Hmm... I may have just posted regarding that dealer... still- if it's a major obvious flaw...you'd think dealers wouldn't carry them since they have to deal with (rightfully) angry customers...

I echo Fakey's x1000 and raise it x1000^99... free market...sell how you'd like

The corrosion resistance factor is only helpful if you were dipping your bracelet in some sort of super low ph acid... From WUS: 904L Stainless Steel: <0.02% C, 19-23% Cr, 23-28% Ni, 4-5% Mo, <2.0% Mn, <1.0% Si, <0.045% P, <0.035% S, 1.0-2.0% Cu 904L is a non-stabilised low carbon high alloy austenitic stainless steel. The addition of copper to this grade gives it greatly improved resistance to strong reducing acids, particularly sulphuric acid. It is also highly resistant to chloride attack - both pitting / crevice corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. This grade is non-magnetic in all conditions and has excellent weldability and formability. The austenitic structure also gives this grade excellent toughness, even down to cryogenic temperatures. 904L does have very substantial contents of the high cost ingredients nickel and molybdenum. Many of the applications in which this grade has previously performed well can now be fulfilled at lower cost by duplex stainless steel 2205 (S31803 or S32205), so it is used less commonly than in the past. 316L Stainless Steel <0.03% C, 16-18.5% Cr, 10-14% Ni, 2-3% Mo, <2% Mn, <1% Si, <0.045% P, <0.03% S Grade 316 is the standard molybdenum-bearing grade, second in importance to 304 amongst the austenitic stainless steels. The molybdenum gives 316 better overall corrosion resistant properties than Grade 304, particularly higher resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments. Grade 316L, the low carbon version of 316 and is immune from sensitisation (grain boundary carbide precipitation). Thus it is extensively used in heavy gauge welded components (over about 6mm). There is commonly no appreciable price difference between 316 and 316L stainless steel. The austenitic structure also gives these grades excellent toughness, even down to cryogenic temperatures. Compared to chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steels, 316L stainless steel offers higher creep, stress to rupture and tensile strength at elevated temperatures.

Who was the dealer?

...

Keep it or sell it to me!

I've always had great luck with the Rolex sport lines after having the seals greased and the caseback tightened...

Sexy! Love that bracelet!!

Superb piece...seems you and I have been on buying sprees lately! In fact - I might have to take a cue from you and pick up a (blue) MMD I wish I'd been following this...my first thought when I saw the strap was "SFSO!" but ... that's just b/c it's the only Breitling I like

Agreed! Next on my list- no date sub

Hubba hubba!

Thanks POTR and Stephane, Yeah- these might be worth the investment... I think they're a lot more subtle without the datejust mag bubble...I find myself not wearing my gen 2006 TT Datejust due to the fact that the mag gets all sorts of gunk around it, etc...
