Rado Coupole Silver Dial Two Tone Steel Ladies Watch R22850103

Zeitwinkel 273¡ã Saphir Fum¨¦ Watch
When it comes to ways of displaying the date on a watch, I consider myself a bit of a traditionalist in that I prefer the use of discs to read out the date, rather than a hand moving around a dial. Using a magnifier to help read the date is a decent way to go, but I have found myself liking the trend of "big date" displays, generally relying on two discs to compose the date displayed. There are more than a few models that offer this, but one of the more intriguing ¨C in terms of looks and design ¨C was just recently announced: the Zeitwinkel 273¡ã Saphir Fum¨¦.At first glance, you might be tempted to think of this as "just another" skeletonized watch ¨C and one that, perhaps, is not as artfully done as others. There is a kernel of truth there: while the German silver plates are decorated, they are not kinetically exciting ¨C however, to stop there is to sell the Zeitwinkel 273¡ã Saphir Fum¨¦ short.

Geniune Rolex strap pricing
I am looking to get a replacement strap for my Cellini Danaos 4243/9. I want the black buffalo with white stitching for the deployant buckle. I inquired about the strap at two local ADs. One quoted me $160 (Tourneau) and the other quoted me $240 (small family AD). Seems like a big difference. The sales rep at Tourneau showed me the catalogue with the prices. I saw $100 for the calf strap and $160 for the buffalo strap. Maybe we were looking at straps for a different model? Does anyone have a current Rolex accessory/strap catalogue and price list that I could look at for a reference?

Hair!
I've had my RO Chrono for a few weeks now (BNIB from a grey dealer) and noticed the other day that there's a small dark hair, about 2mm long, on one of the chrono dials!I doesn't really concern me as it's barely noticeable (it took me weeks to see it despite staring at it for hours) but just wondered if you guys thought it was an issue.Can they remove it when they service it next or do they not take it apart to that degree?I would post a pic but only have my phone and it can't focus that closely.

Omega Case Restoration?
Hi All,I recently purchased a Speedmaster Date and just found a small nick in the side of the case.Are there any shops you would recommend to refinish an Omega watch case and return it to mint condition?I'd like to avoid sending it to Bienne or NJ considering it's just a cosmetic blemish as it's very new and doesn't need anything near the magnitude of a standard overhaul.I'm located in Nashville, Tennessee and would prefer to deal with a shop face-to-face (can travel out to Atlanta, GA, no problem), but am not counting out shipping my watch out for the repairs to be done.Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
