Visit of Wempe boutique Paris
I just came back from the Wempe boutique in Paris, and saw a few pieces from ALS and Patek, I won't talk about them all but just about the 2 most interesting IMO from the ones which were there, the ALS Datograph and the PP 5980-1AR, so starting with the PP, the dial is a beauty, if it was available in SS it might be a model that I might consider one day if I decided to get another PP, but in TT not really. But to be honest between the TT 5980 and my 5712 I prefer much more mine.Now for the really interesting one, the Datograph perpetual in platinum, it was the first time I saw ALS pieces, the movement, the dial, the finition and attention to details are just great, I understand now why so many here consider that ALS and PP are on practically the same level in terms of quality and beauty.Of course there were other ALS, the Zeitwerk for example, nice piece, original, but for me a little overpriced for what it is, the other ALS models were very basic and while nice were not very appealing

5726/1A discount?
I was just offered a new still-in-plastic 5726/1A - the only one my AD will get this year - and I passed on it!! This is a watch on my top five list. Am I correct that RRP is $47,600 for the 5726/1A? Has anyone managed to get a discount on one?

Pam 183 Repair Help
I have about a two year old PAM 183 that I purchased through TRF in early 2012. It was used at that time and was purchased from a private seller, not one of the trusted sellers. Therefore, it is older than two years, but since it came with open papers, I don't really know for sure how old it is.This weekend the winding became abruptly rough and the watch is not running long before stopping, so it will need repair. I believe it is out of warranty and don't want to fudge the papers, just get it fixed correctly and at a reasonable price. There is a local watchmaker here that I have used for minor things (like putting a new bezel insert on a GMT I used to own, but I have no real experience with his more complex work. Alternatively, I could use an online watch repair service (such as??) or send to Panerai.Advice?Thanks in advance.L

Tudor Oyster Prince 34 Question
I have the Tudor Oyster Prince 34 pictured and had it serviced by my watch guy (independent). I had him service the movement but not polish or replace anything except the crystal which was cracked but still in one piece. Originally the watch had a slightly domed crystal, something like a 1016 Explorer. He told me he could not source a crystal like that and put a high, flat crystal on it. It looks okay, but I really like the look of the original crystal. The first picture is the new crystal. The second and third are the original crystal. I had him give the original crystal back to me.Can anyone recommend somewhere to get an original style crystal for this watch? It is an Oyster Prince 34 with a serial number and 7909 on the case back. Thank you, in advance.
