AP 26320 vs vacheron 49150 pusher quality
Hey guys. I am looking for advice on the pusher feel of the 26320 vs the vacheron overseas Chrono 49150. I owned the 49150 but sold it and now I want a 26320. I really enjoyed the tactile pusher feel on the vacheron (I am bit of a pusher snob). I felt like it was smooth as butter and when you unscrewed the pushers there was a lot space between the start point and end point when you press the pusher down (which is nice). I am unable to test the 26320 in person but I love everything else about the watch. Can anyone reassure me who has tried both watches with regards to the pusher quality and depth? Thank you very much and I hope this is not a weird topic!

Lost a pusher on my late 1960s pre-moon speedmaster... what to do?
Soo just this week I acquired a late 60s pre-moon speedmaster in fairly good shape that I have fallen in love with. While walking around downtown this week I stopped to check the time on my watch and much to my dismay the top (start / stop) pusher on the speedy was gone. I looked around but could not find it anywhere.I've checked online and see that I can source the part for fairly cheap (its a 145.022) from ofrei. However, I am afraid I might need other parts or tools to install it (new tube? spring?, etc?). I called some Omega dealers and they suggested it would have to go to Omega / Swatch for a service which will likely run me $800. The watch is not running at factory standars (its losing/gaining 9 seconds a day) so Omega would require me to take a full service.Any thoughts on what options I might have? The watch has not been serviced since 1999 so it is due (though its still keeping decent time). Should I take the plunge and get the full service or is there a band-aid solution tha

Cold feet on putting the money on a SS. Do it anyway?
Hey guys.Just a quick update from hunting for a 5711. This was quicker than I had expected, and I have found a good friend's cousin that is looking to sell his almost brand new (bought under 2 months ago) 5711 blue dial.He is asking a fair $24,000USD, which is the price he bought it for. I don't expect a deal on this piece.I was really looking hard to find it, and now that I have, for some reason I am having cold feet putting that amount on a SS watch.A friend told me that the watch doesn't look nearly worth how much I am paying for, and that made me re-assess.Am I going to regret not buying this one though?I must say I do love the watch; Just can't help but think I could be getting some precious metal or so for that amount. Or even adding two more SS watches.My only other watch is a Rolex Sub btw. I think the duo with the Patek should be perfect still and cover all bases.Suggestions?

Strange Thing Happened to me in a Restaurant this weekend
Hi All,Just thought I would share an interesting (funny?) tale with you that happened this weekend. I went to an Italian Restaurant on the UES called Campagnolo. Our waiter, a fairly flamboyant gentleman called Claudio, was giving our table of seven some great service - talking away and regaling everyone with tales of Italy and his hometown close to Lake Como. He kept glancing at my watch and asked me after a bit (while everyone was eating) - ma suo orologio e un Bulgari per caso? (is your watch a Bulgari by any chance?). I told him it was a Patek...and he then asked me - me lo puo prestare per un momento? (may I borrow it for just a moment?)I don't know what came over me , but I went ahead and put my Aquanaut on his wrist and wore his PAM, while he went over to another table (apparently the restaurant owner's table) and said that he needed a raise so that he could afford an Aquanaut. That WHOLE table marvelled at the watch, etc...and after Claudio came back and returned the watc

Does Rolex release other variations of watches in the fall?
Hi All, I can't recall that they do but maybe I just haven't been paying attention the last couple years. I was watching Watchbox Studios on YouTube & he mentions during his DJ segment that he thinks possibly that an all steel new version may come out mid year or fall as part of the 2018 release. I don't know this guy, have never watched him before so I'm not sure how credible he is or not. Does Rolex release watches in the Fall?
