Seiko SRZ365P1 Diamant Damenuhr

Many THANKS Dave
Dave,I just got through reviewing your recent post of pictures of all of the Hamilton models. Can't tell you how great that is. I've been collecting Hamiltons for some while now and have continually had problems identifying some models, primarily because of the poor pictures in other books. Your collection of photos is perfect! I'm sure it took some time to put it all together, but it was all worth it, at least to me! I now will use your collection to verify models that I've often been on the fence with.My thanks to your efforts!Chuck

Private 1st Class Corwin Border's WWI Trench Watch Project
Hey guys ! ! !I have had this watch case for quite some time now, about a year or so I think.Over the weekend I saw it sitting in a bin on my bench while looking for something else.When I bought this watch it did NOT have a movement, dial, hands or strap.................it was just the watch case itself.The reason I bought this case is because it has a very detailed inscription on the back side.Me, Adam & Greg LOVE to track these guys down if we can in order to find out who they where and what they did during the Great War.More often that not there will at least be a FULL NAME on the case back and possibly a year or a home town.This watch had NONE of the above making it INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT to piece together the puzzle.This watch inscription only had some initials of the former owner "C B", these are almost impossible to solve ! ! ! !Here is exactly what the inscription reads:" C B "M. G. Co5th RegCo.L InfWell, after an EXHAUSTIVE search I was able to piece together this puzzle.CB:

Patek and the infamous diamond...
Just curious if anyone knows the quality of the diamond Patek Philippe sets at 6 o'clock (most of the time between the lugs..sans the awesome pt nautlius) of their platinum pieces. I've had a 5140P and always got asked about it from friends that knew Patek but have never actually pursued an answer until now. Thanks! ....in terms of GIA (VS1, VS2...so on and such) Thanks!

New guy with a service question
New guy here. I've been reading the forum for a little while and slowly coming up to speed on a few things not the least of which is the jargon! I think I've figured out some, the others will come in time.Anyway, I bought myself a Submariner in 1988 and save for a few exceptions, it hasn't been off my wrist for more than a couple of days since purchasing.Last service was 1999, and the receipt shows a cost from the Rolex Service Center of $350. I wish that were still the case. I'm working toward sending it off again as it is losing some time and I assume that the lubricants could stand a refreshing.My questions if anyone cares to answer...The bezel on the watch is scratched in the vicinity of the pearl resulting in the top area of the triangle surrounding the pearl has lost it's silver paint. I'm considering replacing the bezel and wonder if anyone might know the cost involved and additionally if the newer ceramic bezel I've been reading about is an option for the replacement on an olde

Leather Straps for Rolex Clasp?
Does anyone have any experience with a company that could make leather straps for the Rolex clasp?Something similar to RubberB in terms of concept?Obviously leather would have to be custom made because you can't simply trim it like you can with rubber.I'd like a custom leather strap that would fit into the Datejust 41 clasp.Don't get me wrong, I love just about every Rolex bracelet, but I think the DJ can look nice on a strap and would definitely get something custom to try out.I don't know if it's worth the hassle because any regular strap and buckle can work, but something custom while using the clasp would be ideal.
