trade offshore and seadweller for aquanaut?
Probably a dumb question, but always interested in forum opinions. Have an offshore black themes model that i've always liked but it's a bit oversized for my wrist. A mistake I made was that I had a breitling recently serviced, and started looking at pateks that were in the shop. Now I am having a hard time shaking the thought of trading the offshore plus a seadweller f-serial I have towards an Aquanaut. I know many state just saving and adding to the collection, but I prefer to keep the stable to only a few watches.

Quick intro
Hi all,I just realized I never properly introduced myself to the forum. My appreciation for watches started with a Timex Ironman I was given for one of my childhood birthdays.A grad gift from the old folks - an Omega Aqua Terra 8500 - acquainted me with higher end watch brands and my pocketbook has been paying the price ever since.I'm active on one of the other boards, but haven't been contributing much here as I wasn't part of the club. In part, the it was the Rolex stigma that kept me away - i.e. the perception that most owners buy them primarily as a status symbol - as well as the ubiquitousness of the Submariner.However, I've since become better acquainted with the other models, including the under-the-radar 16570 which I just purchased NOS. Now if only I can find a NOS 16600.....Looking forward to participating in the forum!

Experience refurbishing watchcase by Patek?
Has anyone experience with refurbishing watchcase by Patek?I consider to refurbish my Nautilus by Patek, it is in a bad condition.Two question about this:1. How much did Patek charge for refurbishing watchcase (in line with .patek/en/client-service/service-costs)?2. How was the result?Thanks in advance!

While waiting for my LVC....
I pulled the trigger on this to ease the depths of anticipation. I've had my eye on the 1499 for about a year. The white dial just got me! Still eagerly awaiting my new green friend.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Glidelock bracelet sizing
Hi guys,As a long-time member and someone who's been in the watch game for more than a couple years, I am beyond embarrassed to ask this question. But I figure it's better to ask for guidance than regret trying to do it on my own...I have a new Sub on order that should be delivered later this week. This isn't my first Rolex, but it will be my first with Glidelock. Is there a recommended process to follow when sizing the bracelet? I am comfortable resizing bracelets and have the 1.6mm screwdriver. My question is really more about trying to understand the following:- Should I retract/extend the Glidelock before removing links?- Is there a recommended side (12 o'clock or 6 o'clock) from which I should start removing links on this particular bracelet design (to ensure expansion of the Glidelock keeps the watch comfortable)?I'm just trying to avoid a bunch of link changes so I can minimize the scratching potential on the bracelet and aim to get it right the first time. Any guidance on
