Ball Fireman Storm Chaser DLC
As you may guess from the name, the Fireman Storm Chaser pays tribute to Ball Watch explorer Dr. Josh Wurman. The white on black design symbolizes lightning in the dark, and the caseback bears an engraving of ¡°the Doppler On Wheels¡± vehicle that lets Wurman get up close and personal with tornadoes. Find wallpaper and pricing inside. The 43mm stainless steel case is DLC coated (diamond-like carbon) for superior scratch resistance and longevity. The crystal is glare-proof, scratch-resistant sapphire. With the tachymeter, the wearer can measure speed over a given distance. The telemeter makes it possible to easily calculate the distance between the observer and a situation that is observable both visually and audibly (like lightning and thunder) based on the speed of sound through air. Below the dial is an ETA caliber 7750 automatic chronograph movement. The case is 15.8mm thick, and Ball claims it can withstand a 5000G shock. Water resistance is 100 meters.Ball Watch applies its 3H techn

Smudge inside crystal looking for advice.
I purchased this watch from a seller in Turkey and it was delivered to Canada today. Trying to figure out if this smudge is condensation from the journey and if that is normal? It is a late 2016 watch so supposed to be practically new and never opened etc. Comes with all boxes and papers. The price was good so if its not a big issue I would like to keep it.

Considering trading/selling my Explorer I (39mm) for Omega Aqua Terra
First of all, I'm sure I'll regret this because I love my Explorer. It's one of the most comfortable watches I've ever owned and I just love the look. HOWEVER, the one thing that is starting to bother me is the lack of date. With that said, I've been considering a similar watch/look/pedigree, so the 41.5 Omega Aqua Terra Calibre 8500 is a possible replacement. I need to check it out in person, because I'm not sure if I'll like the teak look of the dial. Perhaps I should also consider an older Aqua Terra for the glossy black dial? Anyone make the switch that I'm considering making? Looking forward to your thoughts, Here is my ExplorerExplorer 39mm by synth19, on Flickr

Flipping
Stop it. Just stop. I'm speaking to those that are regular consumers like myself who are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to buy a premium piece aka hard-to-get piece at an AD for retail.My advice to you if you fall into this category is to not flip the watch. Either pass, or keep. There are unintended consequences of your decision to flip a watch. AD's could and will literally lose the Rolex line. It's happened, it will happen again, and we are responsible if we are part of this problem.There are many, many negative outcomes that may play out as a result of flipping. For what? $5 grand? An easy $5 grand sounds nice, and while that may be on the higher end, it is possible. Looking at the big picture though, it's nothing and it's not worth it.
