Maurice Lacroix Miros Silver Dial Chronograph Men's Watch MI1098-SS041130

Purchase from london
popped to London last week, was meeting someone to sell a watch and then enjoy some watch spotting down New Bond Street, Burlington arcade Oxford Street.Popped into Watches of Switzerland a Rolex AD and came away with this beauty. It had just come back from the RSC so had a full years warranty, plus a years WOS warranty. It orginally had a coke bezel, but went to RSC St James Square and had the Black Bezel fitted.All in all a great day.

Just saw it on The Swamp
Y'all may remember my posting a couple months ago of an Elgin 670 movement I had acquired. It was damaskeened, and gold plated, and was one of 1000 Elgin made to commemorate the 50 Millionth Elgin watch? It had apparently been stripped out of one of the special 18kt cases which presumably was melted. Well, there's one up on The Swamp now - 220918529458. This one has all kinds of problems - the dial was redone incorrectly - now reads 'Elgin' instead of 'Lord Elgin' and the damaskeened and gold plated barrel bridge has been replaced with a nickle finish one from another movement. HOWEVER, this one comes with the sterling silver box mentioned in the ad. Sadly, the photos are SO BAD it's hard to distinguish anything. And this guy is supposedly professional.

winding/setting seamaster question
I recently acquired a great white and was wondering about how often I should wind it and how often should I reset the time? A guy at my work said that he winds his Rolex every couple of days and resets the time about once a week. Is this too often? I just don't want to overuse my watch if I don't have to and require a premature service.

Why on Earth would Rolex create a brown bezel GMT?
The color of the new brown GMT bezel is not even close to the original root beer bezel, which is more golden, the 2018 bezel is pure brown. Brown is almost universally considered the ugliest color, it is the color of mud, dirt and waste matter. What on Earth were they thinking? I suppose a similar question could be asked about the bezel on the platinum Daytona, the brown does not match the beautiful ice blue dial at all.

Next Rolex...
My small, modest collection consists of a Speedy Pro, Tag Heur Monaco, Eterna Kontiki, and the BLNR. At this point, I don¡¯t want to flip any as they are each special to me in their own way. I¡¯d like to add another Rolex at some point soon. I really like the SD43 and the Hulk. The white Daytona C looks amazing, but this is not a realistic option for me from and AD and the premium is too steep. I don¡¯t wear suits to work. A nice shirt/polo and slacks usually suffice. I don¡¯t think I need a dress watch at this point and when I do, the Monaco usually works pretty well for me. Right now, I¡¯d say it¡¯s between the sd43 and hulk, but I¡¯m definitely open to other suggestions. Thanks so much! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
