Invicta Subaqua Venom Reserve Chronograph Men's Watch 11855

Close-Up: Zenith Pilot Doublematic
Zenith is best known these days for chronograph watches powered by the high-frequency El Primero chronograph movement, which it introduced in the milestone horological year of 1969. However, one would have to go further back to discover that the brand also boasts a history of developing precision timekeeping instruments for aviation. In fact, French pilot Louis Bl¨¦riot was wearing a Zenith when he crossed the English Channel in his aircraft, the Bl¨¦riot XI, in July 1909. By 1939, the company’s Montre Aeronef Zenith Type 20 watch had become standard equipment on the dashboards of many French planes.

Also, I already have an OP 116000, and a Datejust 116234 which I also want to have properly insured.So, here is my situation: My current home insurance (TD Meloche Monnex) has an endorsement for up to $50,000 for jewelry covering all risks (which includes mysterious disappearance, robbery, etc), and this endorsement has a $1,000 deductible. The endorsement only costs me an extra $200 per year.

I have already done this for my current two watches of course. I also looked into adding floaters for the watches, and was told the price increase would be about 2% of the appraised value of the item, per year, so in the case of the day-date, something

SD43 Helium Valve Question???
On the Rolex website, there is a picture of the SD43 with a helium bubble seeping out from the escapement valve - nothing wrong with that, it actually looks quite cool.However, I also noticed, the picture seems to show another gas bubble seeping out of the case back!Is this correct?Would gas escape from both the escapement valve AND the case back?If so, what's the point of the escapement valve in the first place if gas can escape through the case back anyway?Any thoughts...???
