It's back!
Greetings TRF,It is with a lot of pride and joy that I tell you that I got my vintage Audemars Piguet back from my watchmaker tonight. When I bought it I was very happy until I realized that it had a small problem......Indeed, with its dial on top the balance wheel would slow down and eventually stop, thus making the watch impossible to wear for a full day. Normally I would have worked on it myself, I did service my Jaeger-Lecoultre and quite a few other watches of mine, however, after thinking about it I thought that it would be better to ask an experience watchmaker with a good reputation to service such a thin movement. Don't get me wrong, I would have loved to do it myself and I do need to build up confidence but with such a caliber I figured it would be better to be safe than sorry...Now my pictures aren't very good as they're dark but believe me, the movement is much cleaner than it was when I got it (I was going to have it cleaned anyway but this small balance wheel problem made

Patek Steel quality, Website and Brand direction
I recently purchased a sub after being torn between the no date and Aquanaut (for those interested look for my thread titled Aquanaut vs Sub ) but had a few questions regarding Patek steel quality, website and where the brand is headed1. The Rolex just had more of a shine to it than the Patek. I am guessing this has something to do with 904L Steel that they use? Does Patek use 316L? Anyone know anything about Patek's steel quality?2. Also does anyone else think Patek's website is a little bit too 'clunky'? For a brand this big shouldn't they invest in a better website? Brands like Rolex, VC, ALS and AP have great websites I am surprised Patek dosen't3 And lastly, does anyone think we will see bolder, younger models from Patek? A lot of people can't afford PP Complications and Super complications- when their existing customer base for those watches eventually dies out how will they attract the younger smartwatch wearer to the brand? I think they need to be looking into more entry level
