Online / Internet Swiss Watch ADs - are there any?
This gets brought up in one form or another time and time again.I'd like to ask a simple question or two. I DO NOT want this to degenerate into an argument about whether the best deals, or best prices, or best service exist online or in a 'bricks and mortar' store.I want to know if there are any AUTHORISED Swiss Watch dealers online. Key word - authorised (or authorized if you prefer). Not a store online that sells brand name Swiss watches and offers their own in-house warranty and service.I only know of one: Oris. Oris online sales are divided into regions, so for example you can't buy an Oris from the Asia/Pacific dealer if you live in the States. These online ADs are backed by an Oris warranty (up to 3 years).So, are there any others out there? Online sales seem to be anathema to virtually all Swiss brands, but are there any (other than Oris) out there?Thanks.Edit: let me clarify - I am not asking for an AD that sells exclusively online (I mentioned Oris, and they sell both online a

A watch as a rock album cover
I've acquired a taste for late 60's/early 70's progressive and psychedelic rock (after all, how many times can you listen to the Stones or Zeppelin?).Mostly I like the organ accompaniments and instrumentals that run anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes. I might not like the hippie culture, but they produced some great mellow rock. Most often these aren't even one hit wonders, just one album and gone bands.One album I downloaded, called the Soft Machine (1968) by the Soft Machine has the inner workings of a mechanical watch on its cover. For what it is worth (I edited out the naughty part):

16710 P Serial Number Rolex Logo Dial HELP
Greetings, I am relatively new to the forum but found the feedback from my first post quite helpful.Last week I did a trade plus cash deal for a new to me, P Serial Number 16710 (no box or papers). The seller is a licensed Jeweler who has been in the secondary watch market for over 30 years and he has a physical location in the French Quarter of New Orleans. I have known him about ten years and sold him several Rolex as well as he purchases (and pays the best in town) for scrap gold and silver. I trust him, but we can all get fooled...with that said, while looking at my new watch under a strong loupe, I found three items that are giving me mild heart palpitations (please see photos):1. The under line on the L in the ROLEX seems to be wavy, like two bumps before it straightens out.2. Same for the under line in in the E in ROLEX.3. A small white smudge of font under the S in GMT MASTER III hope I am not being too nit picky, but this is a reference I have wanted for years and just want to
