Beautiful!
Well, after having had a bad experience a few years ago with a Rubberclad, my faith in AP was restored earlier this year at a private dinner to show some grand complication watches. I did hit a bump in the road having a Rolex Submariner scammed off me (https://.rolexforums/showthre...08#post4617808 ), but after selling my Daytona on a strap (https://.rolexforums/showthread.php?t=191442 ) and selling the blue dialed Yacht Master, I found a bit of funds to get this watch.I like the fact that it can be dressed up and down and that it flies under the radar. It may not be the latest limited edition offshore (kind of a put off for me...), but it suits me perfectly. Plan to enjoy it for quite some time.
To polish or not to polish?
I just inherited a lovely 116613 from my dad and I'm in love with it. Now my dad doesn't really take care of his watches. Not just when he's wearing them, but he also doesn't store them well. As a result, this watch is quite beat up. He didn't even wear it as much as his other pieces but it looks like a daily beater of a watch.I love the fact that it has all of the marks from my dads usage over the years, but a small part of me is considering getting the whole case refinished so that I can leave my own marks on this beauty.IMG_20180412_142301 (1).jpgIMG_20180412_142337.jpgIMG_20180412_142235 (1).jpgI've attached some photos, but there are a lot more marks than what I'm showing. What would you guys do?
Interesting how the 116719 has the old 3186 movement.
Just been admiring the White Gold Pepsi with a Blue dial and saw that it still had the 3186 movements fitted. Are we to take from that that they have used existing cases and supplemented them with the addition of a blue dial and are using up the older movement as this will fit with no messing around with the case?Obviously, the 116710LN, 116710BLNR and the 116713 and 116718 are all remaining with the 3186 movements too......... but for how long?
Faded Pepsi bezel inserts circa 2000
Anyone knows if this guy's claim is of any value (regarding the on-purpose fading from Rolex)?'m asking because my A serial from 2000 has got the exact same faded bezel insert as the one we see on these pictures. I bought the watch from the original owner, who rarely wore it in over 15 years, and I thought it was odd that the red portion of the bezel has faded so much while the blue part remained crisp and dark. Cheers Nick
5-digit case profile white gold Submariner (16619)
I added a poll option so all the purists can vent their rage...I can't stand the super case profile on the new Subs, GMTs, etc. I've tried to like them and have owned them in the past - including an 116619. I sold them all and now own only a 16613.I have the opportunity to have an 116619 customized to exactly match the 5-digit case profile. I don't expect to ever sell it if I do this, but never is a long time. I know some purists will call this a franken. I know some people will say I'd never touch it. The market to sell will be smaller.That said, I'm trying to get an idea of the approximate real cost of doing this to decide if it's worth it to me. Real cost = cost of customization + depreciation hit.Thanks for helping!
