Hair Pullers!
I don't know if any of you are old enough to remember "Hair Pullers" or watch bands from a little company called "Speidel"The Twist-O-Flex was all the rage! and I every time I wear mine, people say...Hey that is a cool band!I have a bunch of them and I think they're fun.They are still made today.If you have Hairy armsyou may not think so, as the hair can get caught and pullAh the price we pay for fashion!

15202ip worth the premium?
tried my friends' 15202st and liked the look and feeling on the wrist. Even though the build quality is not great(if you ever forget to take off before a golf game you'll find out soon enough), and the date adjusting on the ancient caliber is a heahache, I like the watch nevertheless. Saw the 15202ip on this year's SIHH. The price though is so much higher than the regular model from the grey market dealers. Wonder which one would you all vote for?

Most Iconic Royal Oak Offshore
Hi guys,I want to hear from you what is, in your opinion, the most iconic ROO.Would it be the first one, ref. 25721 ST, aka the beast? Or maybe the Rubberclad?And among the Limited Editions? Would it be the End of Days, the Rubens Barrichello, the Schumacher?In my humble opinion, i think the End of Days is the one.Thanks.

Strapped
About 6 weeks ago, my beloved Omega X-33 NASA kevlar strap broke. It lived a good life, providing me with several years of faithful service.That meant I had to use the Speedy on a 6 years old 40 dollar strap that was carefully shaped to look like alligator. It was okay, but it too was showing the age and for something at that price point I just could not ask for any more years of service out of it.Long story short, I stopped by Bachendorf's on my way home and I bought a Hadley Roma Select Crocodile strap, 20/18 with white stitching. It was quite pricey but they made me a good deal on it so I got it around 40% off. It did not look much different from the cheap one I had for half a decade but once on the watch, it made all the difference and I think it looks great!One dilemma remains:Should I use it with the deployant that I stuck on it as soon as I got home and extend the life or should I use it with the OEM Omega buckle that I bought for the kevlar strap?

GMT II or Explorer 2 for Travel? & Safety?
I'm just about to pull the trigger on my first Rolex but I'm having trouble deciding between a GMT II or Explorer 2 and I'm curious what people's opinions are regarding each with regard to safety while traveling. I really want to use the watch as an every day wear while I'm traveling. I'm torn because I'm leaning towards the GMT II but I feel that it stands out more than the Explorer 2 which is more subtle and not as noticeable. I travel a lot, both to relatively safe countries but also to less developed countries such as Thailand, Cambodia, India and places in South America. None of the countries are really that dangerous but I think a less noticeable watch would probably be preferable. Not to mention, the guilt I might feel owning something so expensive in a poorer country. I know people are going to say to just leave the Rolex at home and take a less expensive watch but I would like to take the Rolex with me on adventures so I can have good memories when I look at it in the fu
