I can't talk to anyone who doesn't go Rolex
Let me preface this post by saying I am drawn to the brand because of its rich heritage of innovation and engineering prowess. Simply put, Rolex smokes every watch brand in existence.However, we would all be lying to ourselves and one another if we didn't acknowledge that part of the reason you pulled the trigger is for the credit of having that huge crown badge roll around your wrist.I am not saying that I go up to tools on the street and put that huge case in their faces; I do however smile smugly as I walk by people who go Timex, Casio, Omega or Tag. I do not recognize those brands. Its also nice to know that I have the equivalent of a Chevrolet Altima rollling around my wrist.

My Longines Chrono Duo
Greetings all - thought I'd share my Longines pair with you.First up - my Spirit Chrono:Love the throwback look that the font and colour of the numerals combined with the cathedral hands give this piece. Plus, I'm generally a sucker for two-register chronos:While the OE Longines strap is nice, I prefer the black on black look with this one:Next up is the latest addition - the Conquest Ceramic Chrono:The moment I picked it up I knew I had t have it. I suspect the AD knew it as well . Note to self - work on that whole poker-face thing.The dark and shiny ceramic bezel is what first grabs your attention, but my favourite part of this watch is the blacker-than-black lacquer-look dial. Honestly, it makes a lot of other black dial watches look a dingy grey in comparison.I also like the way the chapter ring for the minute totalizer cuts right through the "Big 12" so that its function is not compromised.A neat finishing touch is the matching black ceramic cap on the crown. And notice how

Opinion wd b much appreciated ..
Im a new member in the forum, and definitely Panerai is on my radar for my next watch ( besides another Rolex :-)...unfortunately, i only have limited budget of less than 7-8 K usdAny opinion for my first panerai ?All the best :-)

How often should you have to adjust?
Have an omega chrono diver, 2225.80 I believe. Seems like every two weeks it need nudged up a minute or two. My speedmaster 3513.50 was the same, maybe a little more. So, I find them a minute or two behind, but never ahead.I was just curious at to how often owners of similar watches were adjusting the time.

Proposed swap RO---5712r
Was hoping to get some opinions on a swap a friend of mine is considering to make.He has a RO time only in rose on leather that he bought from an AD 3 years ago. Believe he paid low 30s. He has a 7 day iwc portugese as well and is trying to make a swap for a 5712r on leather.He has 2 offers for the swap from two non AD , plus 17 and plus 14 cash. Seems like it's a consistent market. I encouraged him to look at new mint preowned as my 5711 is.Prices look right? Would urge new or would you be comfortable saving 5 or so k for preowned on this reference? I already have offers for more than I've paid on the 5711. TyvmSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
