Question on Reliability of AP
Hi,So I've heard/read quite many horror stories of the reliability of AP in general.However I'm thinking about getting a steel 15400 and a gold jumbo 15202 sometime down the line. My question is how reliable are the 3120 and 2121 movements? I understand they probably need to be serviced more often than say, a rolex, and will also be more expensive to service, both of which are fine by me. I am just worried/concerned with repeated services/malfunctions in short periods of time. I'm not a clumsy person and don't bang up my watch so I expect a service every 3-5 years but don't think I can go with AP if a significant percentage (say over 10%) of AP owners have experienced nightmares/disasters with their new AP watches (3120/2121 movements).Sorry if this isn't a good question but I'm trying to decide if I should stick to Rolex as AP's reliability or lack of, could be the potential deal breaker. Thanks very much

Breitling 815 sub dial hand?
Hello gentleman, I recently picked up this Breitling 815 and just noticed a slight variance in the size of the hand in the sub dial at the 6 o'clock. It appears to be somewhat thinner in width than the hands on the other two sub dials. The dials at the 3 and 9 positions have a gradual flare at the top while the hand in question has very little flare. I'm trying to determine if this is correct or if possibly the hands are replacements. If there are any vintage Breitling buffs on here I would greatly appreciate any feedback. Cheers! 👍

Please help me identify this vintage ladies Patek
A friend of mine received this from her late grandmother who has had it since 1955. We can't seem to locate any information on it. Would anyone be able to help??

Calling on rolex lume specialists
Hi guys, Wondering if someone can help me figuring this one out:As you know, I bought a 1998 U4xxx Explorer 2 polar dial;It came with SEL link stamped Z ( I believe Z = 1997 from what I could recoup from my search), and with a tritium dial. The dial does not glow, but when I am in extreme darkness, there is a faint greenish glow to it. Under blacklight, all the lume parts react in a uniform manner. Now under the sun, the dots and arrows remain white. A friend of mine who has an A series swiss dial with luminova, the lume immediately shows a strong green on the dots and arrow.So I am wondering, can it be that mine has a tritium in a final stages of dying? I read here and there that the latter U series had a tritium dial but luminova lume, yet the reaction is different from the A swiss model I seen. Can anyone help me shade some light (no pun intended)? Thanks for helping me out putting this puzzle togetherBest- Rafteur
