Classic Styling Incarnate: The Bell & Ross Geneva 123 Watch
Sometimes I can't help but express my fondness for a watch. Those particular models that stay with you in your mind. Maybe you had your eye on it a while back. It's not that you lost interest, but perhaps other watches came and went in the meantime. And after all is said and done, those reliable watches are always there to make you happy. Before the Bell & Ross BR-01 instrument was a different flavor of Bell & Ross. A more innocent time when Bell & Ross was still finding itself.The Bell & Ross Geneva 123 is a classic watch. Not by any chronological measure, but rather by the timeless way it seems to go with anything, anywhere. You could blow up the size of the watch and put it on a wall or building and it would be perfectly at home. Legibility is perfect, the sharp hands confidently expressing the time. Black hands on the pristine white face, or polished steel glistening against the serene black, the watch stands out with it sense of being perpetually "in the now."Balan

Changing the date on certain watches?
Hello, I'm a relative newbie to watches and have read in several places that on certain watches you shouldn't change the date between 9 - 3. So, I assume you just set the watch to some time outside of this time, say 6 - then proceed to change the date?Does this apply to all mechanical watches? Thanks in advance.Steve

Almost ready to make the jump
Hey guys,I've had my Rolex Yachtmaster Platty 16622 for a while now and I'm almost ready to make the jump to Patek. And I need your help.For a while now the nautilus 5711/1a-011 has been my grail, but I've started to develop doubts. I know its really hard to say without trying the on the watch, but I feel its going to be a bit too big on my 6.5inch wrist, the 40mm rolex feels and looks great on me (pic below).For the above reason I've started to consider a 5167A-001. How does the feel and fit on this one compare to the nautilus? Im really attracted as well to the rubber strap and the posibility of having the steel one as well, something I've been trying for my YM but havent been able to acomplish this. Final question: should I go for the 5711 or the 5167? I just want an upgrade on my YM that I could use for ideally the rest of my life. Thanks!

Incoming SkyD SS....
AD called me with offer of a white dialed SS SkyD. I was considering trading my RG & SS DJ 116231 with black MOP and romans but the offer stunk and I really like that watch.I found 2 other non-Rolex watches that got little wrist time and were nearing service dates, so I traded them for the SkyD. I am quite pleased with it, and I truly love the white dial. BTW I know my point and sh!t camera is a POS but here's a few crappy photos. Anyway, you know what it looks like.

Rolex S/S Production, Waitlists.. and Fiction
Hi folks :) Recently went to Seoul, where one of the AD's in a big Duty Free Dept. Store had the following (translated.. and in order of the sheet):Pieces we do not have stock of:116500LN (White)116500LN (Black)116610LN116610LV114060116710BLNR126600Essentially to stop people like me going into even enquire! Some interesting things I've heard from friends whom are Rolex customers are..1) ADs get S/S stock (i.e. the above) depending on how well they do on PM sales.2) ADs sometimes have this stock on hand - they simply do not place this in display cases. A friend of a friend walked into his local AD and picked up a PM Daytona and also a PM Day Date for his wife... was offered a S/S Hulk on the spot, which was casually sitting in the safe.So, this made me curious. What claims have you AD spouted on the above? Any one know what their AD receives in numbers for the above models per year?Cheers,G
