Xetum Limited Edition Carbon Fiber Tyndall Watch
It's been a long, long two years since Xetum had their last limited-edition model. As with their last LE model, they've opted to use their Tyndall model as the base for this new one. ?Even if you're not intimately familiar with the brand, you've no doubt seen the Tyndall with its clean, lugless design. ?So, what's different for this new version?Right off the bat, you've got a much darker watch. ?While the regular Tyndall is in a brushed/polished case, the new LE features a deep PVD black. ?While they could have paired that with their existing black dial, Xetum upped the ante and instead went with carbon fiber.I have to say - if you've not played around with a watch that has a CF dial, it's really something you need to see to truly appreciate. ?While you certainly pick up the alternating weave pattern (that's become familiar to us with all the Fast 'n Furious imitators and their car hoods), it's more interesting what it does to the applied numerals an indices.Given how these dials have

150th Anniversary bezel
I am thinking about trading my Breitling Steelfish X-plus for a Seamaster 150th Anniversary 2232.30. I have noticed the bezel is quite shiny on most pics I have seen in reference to this model. This particular one has a machined finish and does not appear to be white gold which I believe it is supposed to come with. Here is a pic of it:Your thoughts?

Any risk to getting a 5711?
So, I've never seen a 5711 in the metal. I have seen the 5712 and it is elegant and seems like a good size for my wrist. I understand the 5711 is thinner than the 5712.So my question is, if given the opportunity to buy a brand new 5711 from AD at MSRP, is there much risk on my part of losing money if I don't the 5711? For that much money I better love it. I've never reached this price point before. Seems like selling a watch for <10k is easier than a >20k.For the record, I'm not trying to flip here, I would unseal it and size it for my wrist.Appreciate your thoughts.5712 test drive (bracelet not sized).

Does it make sense to buy used?
I have been looking at alot of different Panerai's trying to decide on the model I want. Today I took 150 mile round trip drive to the nearest AD to view the various models and try on some different sizes and I finally settled on the 111. The AD only sells for MSRP plus the additional 8.635% sales tax so no way was I buying there. Searching the for sale in the forum and ebay seems anyone selling a used 111 wants around $5500 and a new one can be had for around 6100-6200 am I missing something here for an extra 5-600 get new in the box?Ed

My new Rolex Sub has fine scratches on crystal..any advice?
Hello guys.I need you guys advice.I just bought a brand new Rolex Sub no date two days ago from my local Rolex AD. However, what I have found is there are so many fine tiny hairline scratches on the crystal. The scratches are only visible when the sunlight is directly at certain angle. I never scrub or bang the crystal. This Sub is my third Rolex but the two old my Rolex watches (2013 Sub no-date and 2015 Sub date) had the same issue. I thought I made the scratches by some reasons due to I owned them a few years. But now I certainly realized it was not me.Like I said, it is very clean and clear in normal but when the sunlight or bright lights at certain angle, the fine scratches will be shown. I have a few Panerai, Tudor, and Omega watches but I will definitely say they don't have any kind of the fine hairline scratches on the crystal. I have checked all of them with the same angle under the sunlight that I did on my Rolex. Is the hairline fine scratches on the crystal common thing on
