Thanks for all the information, Sam. I've been so close to pulling the trigger today on two watches, but I just can't let myself right now. This Rolex bug couldn't be coming at a worse time...we're right in the middle of a master bath addition to our house, so I'm watching my pennies right now...but...

Sam
Sam, when you say open papers, does that mean that it actually does come with the warranty card and it is under warranty? Or does the card have to be filled out by an AD in order to be valid?

After spending a lot of time over at Timezone, I've really developed a bad case of the Rolex bug, and I'm looking at either a Sub with black dial or a Sea Dweller, although the SD is overkill for what I need (need? Did I just say need? Oh well). In all likelihood, I'm still a couple of months away f...

Here is a pic of the blue hands that Sam was talking about. The blue doesn't come out in the pic above.

Kenton, God, what cologne are you going to wear with it? With that watch? Anything he wants. :lol: Hmmm...well Trumper's Spanish Leather today, but honestly it never occurred to me to pair watches and cologne until I read your post. Interesting, that could open up many more windows of opportunity, ...

Ok, guys, I pulled the trigger on this watch, and just received it today. Sam has already seen it over at another forum, but I thought I'd post it here, too. It's not quite up to par with Sam's recent JLC, but this is my first foray into automatic watches...first but not last. Man alive!, I've got t...

Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't...if I do, it can't be anything heavier than Harris Pink.

Do you guys have any thoughts on Raymond Weil? I found this automatic (with transparent back) for about $795, and it retails for $1295 at the local jeweler. I've also been looking at Longines watches recently...a little higher end than Raymond Weil, but still not up there with JLC or IWC. Kenton htt...

Michael, that is one nice friend. Here is one I am wanting but am worried about the dial for two reasons: one, would it get busy and I tire of it, and two, difficulty viewing the dial. Am I just overly analytical? What do you men think of this dial? Sam, It's not my favorite, but that's just me. I ...

I was just at T&H in Chicago a few weeks ago, and they had one bottle left, and for whatever crazy, idiotic reason I decided not to get it. It's probably gone by now, but it might be worth a call...not sure if they do mail order direct from the store or not, though.

Trumper's Amber Floreka hairdressing might be worth a try, but it's somewhat pricey. This provides a decent hold, but still allows you to run your fingers through your hair. It also does not give your hair the "wet look". If you want just a slight shine/glossy finish, then Trumper's Eucris...

Wow! Those were new to me. They have some beautiful timepieces.
