Looks brand spankin new!
As most of you know it's been a long road since I sent my watch in for repair to the APSC in Clearwater. Many of you followed the saga and aware of the long story and drama around it. For those of you that didn't read about it, here's a quick and simple drama-free recap: At the beginning of February 2012 I sent my watch to APSC Clearwater and they quoted me a very crazy amount for the service ($4800). After a ton of drama, I asked them to send the piece directly to Le Brassus for a new estimate and potential repair directly in Switzerland. Fast forward to April 2012, I received a decent estimate on the service ($2800) and proceeded to get the service done directly by Le Brassus. My 5402SA is from 1976-1977 and is from the first batch of TT Royal Oak Jumbos ever made. My serial is under 300. We are talking here about a highly collectable and desirable Royal Oak. Due to the age of the watch and multiple owners outside of me, the watch needed a major movement overhaul, a new dial (old dia

Looking for Advice: 5165 or 5167
Hello all,I've decided to go for an Aquanaut. However I'm trying to decide between the elusive 5165 & the 5167. I know a good number of folks on this forum have the 5167 and swear by them, but hoping to get some comments from folks who have owned or at least seen a 5165, as I never have. My thoughts are as follows: I have a lean 7 wrist and prefer smaller watches, so I feel the 5165 could be the perfect size for me. I've tried the 5167, however, and I can say it felt too big. From an investment standpoint, I feel that the rarity of the 5165 and the fact that it had a short production run, and the fact that it has an integrated bracelet & the same quality dial as the 5167 might make it a winner in the long term.So, can anyone comment on whether the 5165 feels too small? Are the dials as vibrant and dynamic under different lighting as the 5167? Do 5165 owners love their watch, or do they wish they had the 5167? Do any 5167 owners feel their watch could be a bit smaller? Finally,

Pam 692
Hi All. I have a handful of Panerais and always seem to gravitate torwards Luminor Submersible 47mm, my submersibles are 305, 285, 507 and the 508 and I apsolutly love the 692. I especially like the new material for Panerai and what they are calling called BMG-TECH (Bulk Metallic Glass) i think the fact they have figured out this new material and a 50 year guarantee from the movement needing any kind of lubrication is cutting edge and will sell like hot cakes and probably make its way to other models. It's suppose to be lighter and more durable than their titanium and the color is said to be slightly darker than the titanium with a gray hue, which I like.Although I haven't seen it in person, I know I'll want the watch but trying to talk myself out of buying another submersible. Has anyone seen this watch in person? If so, would like to get some feedback.

Lady's rose gold
Hi, my wife was in Singapore for a conference and wandered into an AD there (I know it's bad news...)The sales person showed her a lady's rose gold watch (she can't remember if there is a date or day date) with a single diamond at 6 o'clock and no other diamonds anywhere in the dial.The price tag was approx S$120k approx USD90k or so.I won't be able to afford it, but I'm interested to know the model. Does anyone know which model it could be? I searched Rolex website and there is no watch with diamond only at 6 o'clock.TIA.
