AP 15400 winding issue
Can anyone tell me if you wind your 15400 clockwise or counter clockwise? I noticed that when I wind mine clockwise it doesn't wind correctly. Also, when setting the time, I have to wind it counter clockwise for the time to move clockwise. Anyone else's 15400 do the same?

Colt bezel help
Hey I found this watch online and it is the same Colt that I have except the bezel is different. My colt is the A73380 and my bezel has time markings in intervals of 15 minutes. I like that this one has intervals of 5 minutes and want to know if this is a bezel that came with the watch or if it is borrowed from another series? I'm thinking of finding one and swapping mine...

Thoughts on the 5711 in Rose Gold
I know that for some the idea of a gold Nautilus is sacrilege .. I understand why, but for me I love the idea of a Patek in gold and more over, I want a 5711 very badly, but I don't want to wait for years for an SS... I can get a new Rose Gold from an authorized dealer for $51000, which for me is a lot more palatable than paying $35000 for a gray market watch that is made of SS... I'm not buying the watch as an investment but I am curious if you expert members feel the long term value / resale of a 5711/1R would be poor? Sure it will not be as good as the SS, but will it be poor? The watch looks amazing and has a heft that the SS model doesn't... I especially love the brown dial..Thoughts?

Spanish VAT question re the Submariner Date (116610 Ln)
Hi guys - A while back I was lucky enough to reserve a Date Sub for July when i visit my family in Barcelona (I'm an Australian) at one of the ADs.I gave them my passport details a while back and now they have confirmed that they have acquired one in time for my trip but I need to give them a 2,000 euro deposit.They say that the retail price of 7,850 euros is non-negotiable and that they could assist in organising a 15.7% discount resulting in a price of 6,618 euros (very reasonable imo). Does anybody have any experience in negotiating further at one of these spanish ADs or should I be grateful that this has been set up and take the good price as it is.Also is there anything I need to do re bringing the watch back to Aus around GST etc?Thanks in advance - I am fairly new to international purchases and always bought in Australia but after reading some of the forums here I thought I would give it a crack overseas too.Appreciate it!
