I finally got over my watch slump (all those fakes in Shanghai and then overkill decadence in Hong Kong) and I was so happy to visit Rarerolex on the web (mentioned on this forum). Makes me interested in Rolex again.

I agree with you about lubrication and not only washing machines, but all mechanical contrivances. I cannot understand why equipment retailers sell service contracts and then never make a periodic visit--only when something breaks down (and with no service it will eventually break down and then they charge you for parts and try to sell you a new machine). What a waste.

And I like this new Watchnet format!

Best wishes.
