I think a lot of car people also have an interest in watches and also pens.

I did have my eye on a Rolex Deepsea Blue but thought it may be as big as the Omega that I already have. 2017 SDV8 4.4 silicon silver AB

I think the only Omega that’s as big and thick as the DSDD would be the Ultra Deep Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

The Cameron is a nice watch but as with all things Rolex, its join the queue, unless you want to go down the grey market route. I had normal DSSD and its a nice piece.

I am more of a watch guy than a car guy. In the sense that I'm more inclined to acquire more than one watch at a certain point than change my vehicle. Also, any knowledge gained on watches is out of pure interest and while deciding which purchase would better suit my wants. Knowledge gained on cars, on the other hand, partly or mostly, stems out of necessity.

I bought a bimetal Omega Constellation in the 90s that I still have (Don't remember how much, maybe £1800, I paid in Deutschmarks as they were cheaper in Germany back then for some reason). About 2000, I bought a blue face Rolex bi-metal Submariner when they first came out (about £6k then, imported from the UAE, much more now). Still have that too as my 'daily'.

If its the original bracelet, keep it Stuart, it'll have a date code on the clasp and once its gone, its gone. The bracelet and box/papers are as much apart of the watches history and value as the watch is. If the watch is running well and keeps good time, have a look on Chrono24 for a replacement bracelet, or if its not, send it to and Rolex on a strap and ask them to quote for a replacement bracelet. I'm always amazed on Antiques Roadshow how many Rolex watches appear and how they've been restored and have lost value in process. |

I was rather hoping the screw could be popped out and a proper jeweller would be able to fix this.

It depends, the next link is just out of shot, if its got a screw in it, yes you could replace two links if you can find them.

My goto everyday wear watch takes a whole lot of abuse but still looks great after many years of wear. It's the most accurate watch I've ever owned, and incredibly robust, (Titanium Case, Sapphire Glass, Solar Powered with 6 month reserve). A new replacement NATO strap once in a while and it looks brand new again.
