Great AD / Rolex Rep Story
Recently I purchased my wife a SS Datejust jubliee bracelet, MOP diamond dial. This has been one of many I have purchased from local AD. When I went to pick it up my AD had a surprise waiting for me all wraped up. We know each other very well and he takes really good care of me, but this time he out did himself. About 6 months ago I mentioned to him that I would have loved to get a knife from Rolex, but not just any knife the famous stainless steel version. Well without me knowing my AD talked to his Rolex Rep about my request. The Rolex rep had told him that Rolex only produced a small batch of that version and that they no longer make it. My AD talked with him about me as he had asked what kind of customer was I and my AD was nice enough to tell him my great enthusiasum for Rolex. Well to my AD's surprise he recieved a little box from his Rolex rep that said enjoy, this comes from my own personal collection, I had 2 but thought the person you talked to me about would enjoy having one

INCOMING! I'm part of the AP Club!
I have finally joined the AP club! I’m still in shock that I now own an AP as part of my small modest collection. I didn’t think I’d be adding an AP for a while yet. I started looking for one here in London through grey dealers. I’ve never bought a watch this way so was a bit nervous about the whole thing. The search wasn’t going anywhere. I then travelled abroad and while there I tried to source one with not much luck as the price wasn’t quite right and the sellers weren’t all too great. Then I posted a thread on the forum about how warranty works with grey dealers because I didn’t quite understand the whole thing. Just when everything was looking all bleak with no hope, Neil aka ‘AK797’ suggested I contact ‘Addy616’ who is based in the US but was travelling to the UK in two weeks. So I made contact with Addy616, who is a trusted seller here on TRF. So I explained I wanted an APRO and he said he was able to sourc

Thick watches
Practically all the 8500/9300 Co-Ax watches appear to suffer from the common complaint of being too thick for many people. (myself included) Don't they all come with a display caseback, and isn't this a significant contributor to the thickness? I've never had a watch with a display back, and frankly don't care much what the insides look like as long as they work. Perhaps it's more due to the 300 & 600m case rating because I don't think I've ever heard the complaint about an 8500 AT 150. My GMT II-C has a very flat, comfortable case back and wears about like my Speedy. The big dial/fat case designs don't do much for me.____________________________TT OysterQuartzSS/Black U DaytonaTT GMT II-CDD OysterQuartzBreitling AeroOmega Speedmaster Pro

New to Rolex and want to buy Daytona and Sky Dweller
A bit of about me- I have liked watches for a while, and didn't knew much about the mechanical watches until recently. I have owned quartz and digital watches all my life, and for some reason I keep losing them. The oldest watch I have is a Swatch Chrono.But, mechanical watches are addictive! It has been less than a year that I got into Mechanical watches. My first mechanical/automatic was a Seiko Alpinist (got it from Japan), and my second one was a Tissot (got it from online dealer, no manufacturer warranty).However, I got into mechanical watches after seeing the new the Rolex AirKing. I wanted to get that one, and then I moved on to DateJust 40mm, and I think both are great watches. But then I researched more and more and I now I am looking into getting the Daytona 116503 with black or champagne dial and get the Sky Dewller SS in Black or Blue dial (if I can get my hands on it in a year or so. The two tone SD in black is available but don't like that combination much). I'll buy it n
