rolex crystal
when looking at a rolex datejust how do i tell if the crystal is sapphire or not, are they ALL sapphire or do cheaper models have something else? Thanks for the help!ALSO where can i find a good deal on a DIAL for a DJ like one with roman numerals and such, i understand that you can get all sorts of different dial configurations for the datejust but where do you find them and how much do they cost GENERALLY?

The Rolex Explorer
So I finally sold my Explorer2, and the search has begun for a replacement. I was pretty sure i would be going for the 14060m with the bond style Nato, but that was until I saw this picture that Hary from Watchuseek took:Now I can`t get it out of my head I just love the Nato combo on this one, makes it look really vintageSo I`ve tried to read up on the posts that I could find on the Explorer and I came across a review by Walt Odets wich really put a downer on my new crush.Is the Explorer really this crude? The pictures of the movement was really not what I would expect from a Rolex watch. I`m not sure how old this review is, but has the movement been upgraded since?Hope someone can shed some light on thisOh, and I would love to see some pictures, specially on Nato-Ram

Speedmaster pro advice
Hi guys,I am about to take my first steps into the expensive-watch zone as my soon to be mother in-law wants to buy me one as a wedding gift/part dowary payment when I marry her daughter in December.Now Ive had a long look at the Omega range of watches and am particularly attracted to the classic look of the Speedmaster Professional 3570.50.00 although I have seen the 3573 and do like it also but its just a touch too much money-wise at ?2800ish (my budget is ?2000ish). Now firstly is this a good choice of watch ? and is the 3570 hardy enough to wear daily or would the 3573 be a better choice ? And secondly how does this model do at holding its value ? Half the point of the watch is apparently to be a sort of investment which is given from one family to another according to Indian tradition so my other in-law is particularly interested in this aspect of the watch.Any advice would be greatly appreciated =)Thanks,Sean.

I made a mistake
And tried on a black dial 5170. Now I¡¯m thinking about which watches to move around. The only one I¡¯m ready to get rid of is my 116520. It¡¯s hard to strike a balance between quality and quantity.
