Large loss of time- AP Diver help!
I purchased my BNIB AP Diver in July 2012 and worn it nearly every day. The past month I have woken up, to find that my watch will be ~30 minutes behind the actual time but only once in a blue moon. So i would rest the watch then this past week, it has happened twice. Now, once in the middle of the day where I look down and I see it is ~30 minutes behind (No damage has been done to the watch except normal wear and tear, all OEM, never opened, original owner, always fully wound from wearing it near 24/7 except certain events and shower)Ugh, I have it on my calendar to send into AP for my 3rd year checkup in April....but it may look like it will need to go in earlier? Any thoughts?Thanks all-

How much to get SMP serviced?
I am looking to flip my two tone SMP with white face and skeleton hands. But to be fair to any potential buyers I was planning on getting it serviced prior to doing so. Any idea of what it would cost (for a routine maintence service) and how long it would take? I have heard of horror stories in regards to the length of time they are taking at the service center.Thanks

Loyal or stupid?
I've got a Nautilus 5712 and AC 5146G. I've wanted to add an Aquanaut 5167 for some time now. First in queue or so my AD tells me. Earlier this week I found a double sealed 5167 (and a double sealed 5711) in the grey market, and turned them down 😫My reasons for doing so:1) I had told my AD I would get the 5167 from them. No deposit placed but had asked that I get the next one they have. So a gentlemen's agreement if you will. 2) My 5712 was ordered by someone else who changed their mind before taking delivery. I met him at a different AD and took delivery of the watch. But I could tell that the buying experience was sub par as I wasn't the AD's customer. 3) I want to establish a long term relationship with my AD as I think that'll have long term returns.Anyone else let go of watches for the sake of loyalty and a better buying experience?
