Changed my Omega Speedmaster FOIS from the bracelet to the rubber strap and deployant buckle.

Hodinkee had it's piece about the Rolex manufacturing facilities re-posted today. I'd already browsed it in the past, but never gave it the full read. While not all of it news, it was still very interesting. On particular thing stood out for me:

"Rolex's ceramics department is also industry-leading, and while we only really see it used on bezels so far, the team is enthusiastic about its possibilities."

Of course there are other watchmakers using ceramic out there already, like Omega who from what I can tell do a good job. And I'm not sure I can see Rolex going down that ceramic case road. Still I would imagine it's a nice card to hold as I'm sure ceramic case offerings from Rolex would be quite popular even I couldn't see myself getting one.

^ and not just the ceramics but that they have their own foundry.

Tim Mosso agreed with my speculation that the economic downturn is likely to affect significantly the $3K to $15K range of watches, but not the range above that.

All this talk about the world ending had me thinking about how I’ve never owned a Daytona. So now here we are...

Ah- so middle class folks, generally, will be affected the most? Great news.

i think you mean: middle class luxuries may be questioned as a need or not...
Worker bees will be impoverished...? No?
