Nautica NMX 1000 Solar Quartz Dive Watch
Summer may be over for all intents and purposes, but Nautica is looking to extend that season a little bit for you with their latest watch, the cryptically named NMX 1000. ?Name aside, this is a watch that will get attention, and looks to be a snap to read (not to mention measuring something via the bezel).When I first laid eyes on the images of this piece, I couldn't decide if someone shrunk the dial, or made a massive bezel. Given that the case is 48mm, I'm going to go with the massive bezel. Frankly, the smaller dial wouldn't even make sense, even if you ignore the style-related reasons. Why?Well, that's because the NMX 1000 is actually a solar powered watch (think Citizen Eco-Drive style, though we aren't sure where Nautica sourced its movements), with the solar cells tucked away under the aforementioned dial. I will say, if you've not owned a watch that can charge via sunlight, it's an interesting proposition (we do own some, and enjoy them). You never have to worry about the batt

Hamilton 14K 2 tone PLAIN BARREL on ebay for $900
If only 12 known examples are know to exsist? Why is the watch not selling for $900? It has been on ebay for several months. Seller says yellow and white gold.

advice on 8500 straps
Im considering the 8500 planet ocean 42mm. I like the old style rubber straps however all the new POs i see have a rubber strap with deployant. the straps appear to be leather underneath. so therefor i doubt they would be good for water use. does anyone know if the older style rubber with tang buckle will work for the new 42mm 8500? im just not thinking i want the bracelet since it doesnt appear to have easy adjustments for wrist swelling. plus the rubber would be lighter on the wrist. thanks so much. i search all over and could not find my answer. ofrei didnt seem to list anything specific for the 8500 as far as rubber straps are concerned.

Gold polishing
A few local ADs have said they'll polish my gold Daytona up for a reasonable circa ?100 but they won't touch the bezel cos it means taking the watch apart The rolex service is about ?600I've never had any watch polished before... I'm slightly nervous about some of the over polishing nightmares we see. I'm guessing Rolex service is the safest bet?Cheers
