Audemars Piguet Royal Oak
Hi,Do you have some experience with AP Royal Oak? What do you think when you compare it with e.g. Rolex Sub./LV?I am getting to like the AP now....after many ROlex years...

Thank you Mehrdad my friend
So when the Speedy Tuesday came out and at about 8AM that morning, I was already going at the Omega website trying to secure one but was too late to the party. Needless to say, I was pretty bummed.Fast forward to January and I met buddy Mehrdad (Sarir97) here at TRF and knowing he may not want to keep his allocation, I wrote him and asked if he would sell the watch to me. The man is a complete gentleman and as cool of a fellow WIS you can meet. Mehrdad said sure and he would sell me the watch. I offered to pay a small premium to thank him for his generosity, the man said no need. I said, can I buy Peter Luger Steaks for the family? He said, no and no worries. All he asked for was a nice wrist shot seeing me enjoying the crap out of this beauty.Well, 7 months later, the man kept his word and it is just unbelievable. Buddy Mehrdad, this shot is for you and I can not thank you enough! Here she is... Speedy Tuesday on a fitting Tuesday arrival:

Chuck Maddox passed away
Dear friends,I only found out a few minutes ago, while visiting over at TZ...Oh what sad news... dear Chuck Maddox, amongst many many many things a source of endless inspiration, has passed away...Sincerest condolences to his family and his friends...There are many fellow readers (here and elsewhere) who knew him far better, but - lacking better words while still in shock - I hope I'll be forgiven if I repeat my simple and sad note I just posted over at TZ, as better words don't seem to come to me right now...Chuck, everything I came to know about this wonderful hobby I owe to you! It was through your restless and wonderful work that the world of this hobby came alive at first and then opened up to me! Through your articles and the few email exchanges shared, my own curiosity was pushed to the limits. So, dear Chuck, it is with a heavy heart that I am now left with nothing else but a most heartfelt THANK YOU!!!!A THANK YOU that goes beyond anything I can put into words right now...Rest

Winding
Recently bought a Panerai 312 and I am new to this brand. Winding the watch even from it being stopped I feel a slight resistance what I assume is the seals? I have worn a 116610LV Submariner for years so probably just not used to the Panerai yet! Thought I would ask anyway! Also is it normal the crown gives a fairly positive click back into place when you have adjusted the date/time?

What's in your watch roll?
