So seriously I don’t have much of a clue about this one but it was smiling at me and the price was right (I think/hope) so after a few beers I hit the atm and brought it home.

Seller claims it was manufactured by Hamilton, I believe he’s knowledgeable and honest so there we are.

Any additional info, thoughts, concerns or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

It’s hot as Hades around here and I’m thinking of putting a rubber strap on either my 116610 Sub or 43mm Seadweller.

Hi all,
It’s hot as Hades around here and I’m thinking of putting a rubber strap on either my 116610 Sub or 43mm Seadweller.
I’m not much for aftermarket mods but for some reason only they know, Rolex chooses to NOT offer a rubber strap on their divers???
Does anyone have any experience with either RubberB or Everest? These are the two that look to be of the best quality and accept the oe clasp.
Any suggestions, recommendations or opinions would be appreciated and please include pics if…

Hi All,
Just wondering does anyone else pay attention to how much wrist time each piece gets?

Hi All,
Just wondering does anyone else pay attention to how much wrist time each piece gets?
I tracked this over the last 100 days and only 4 watches were worn ten or more days. And those 4 accounted for 50 days.

Two pieces weren’t worn at all and you know I don’t intentionally have any safe queens.

I guess this says I like what I like and I have too many watches. Along with some other personality traits I would rather not think about. 😁

This 38mm piece got pushed to the back of the safe for years while I burned through several huge Breitlings and Panerai.
