Yup, you ARE a PURIST; if you bought an aftermarket bezel insert then we would call you non-purist, so long as you in fact DO get an OEM insert you shuld b fine. But if you put a post up that the insert doesnt seat properly and dont know what to do; then we will know somethings up !

My feelings exactly.

I just voted for the dial change but that's where I draw the line.
I've changed so many DD dials from one color to another with and with out diamonds that I lost track of them.

But to wear a watch with a squid or a shrimp or any other kind of seefood on the dial with some Italian engraving on the case back doesn't thrill me a bit.

But then again I voted for "wear it on a Nato"....go figure

Love nato straps, different bracelets as long as their authentic Rolex, and any alteration that's reversible.

These work for me. Your mileage may vary.

I'm dead against "bastardization"..............so you can guess which way I voted, right?

Telling a Yank he/she can not do something is the same as telling him/her try it. I love the English (they are my brothers) but I understand why my countrymen went to war with the King (same thing you can't do this you can't do that pay your tax.) I freely would tell Rolex to kiss my

on the idea of Rolex saying I can't make certain changes to my watch. It's my watch I bought it. My LV Sub looks great with a black bezel. It makes me think of how cool the new sub the maxi dial and the ceramic bezel will be.
