brushed ss daytona bracelet
hi gang,a couple of pics of my ss daytona bracelet on my gmt. i recently brushed the polished center links to a matte finish and i love it even more. the daytona bracelet might look like a regular oyster bracelet but due to it's weight and superior construction of the clasp is an absolute luxury.i used a green and yellow scotchbrite sponge. you have to use the green and yellow one. use the coarse green side and brush the bracelet with mild pressure in one direction with the the bracelet flat on a surface. a couple of passes and it gives the perfect texture.it took me about ten seconds to do this.best,cl

Gorgeous Platinum DD2 ad w/ Placido Domingo. What a stunner...
Was reading one of my favorite magazines today and noticed this ad What do you think? The DD2 looks better and better. I'm assuming this is the ice blue dial an AD told me about a few weeks ago in Park City UT. She said it's the prettiest dial (in her opinion).

Alpha Radiomir, short review with pics
First impressions are of quite a big watch, it measures 45mm w/out crown, but the dial looks enormous. No date or second hand to spoil it's simplicity, and I doubt if you will find an easier to read watch. The watch has a screw-down crown with hand-winding and hacking feature. Obviously hacking is a bit irrelevant without a second hand. Crown screws down OK but does feel a little on the "gritty" side. See-through back doesn't display anything but the unadorned 21 jewel movement. The leather strap is of high quality (probably worth over $20 for that alone)and the huge buckle is etched with the Alpha logo, as is the crown. The lugs have a two piece screwed springbar, the screws are pretty small, so care would need to be taken for strap changes. After a week, the watch is within a minute, can't give seconds obviously.Overall, a nice-looking, good quality timepiece for US$58 delivered.

5167 durability
I'm convinced the 5167 is the perfect watch for me. I currently own several Rolexes, an AP 15300 and a few others. Does anyone out there own a Royal Oak on bracelet and a 5167? Does the 5167 wear more casual? I am in jeans almost everyday and would say Rolex is the best fit for everyday wear, but could I wear a 5167 without worry? I'm not planning on wearing it while using a jackhammer, but would wear for almost everything else.

What is your perfect pair!
Hi folks I¡¯ve recently decided that 36mm is my sweet spot especially because I have puny sized wrist, so I¡¯ve been downsizing my collection and have flipped or sold my 40mm Rolex¡¯s in my humble collection, so now I think I¡¯ve got my perfect pair.Just curious to know if others on here have a perfect pair and would like to share!Ken Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
