Ebay Auction Concerns
Gentlemen, earlier today I placed a winning bid on an AP Diver for $8300 + $100 shipping from Russia. This is my first big watch purchase and now getting second thoughts of moving forward. Here is the link:.ebay/itm/152173678172...%3AMEBIDX%3AITHas anyone purchased a watch like this on Ebay? The price is a little lower than the market rate so I am a little skeptical. The seller says it comes with all boxes and papers. What do you guys think? Thanks for the newbie help!!

25th Birthday present came a little early! Incoming!!!
And at last it is my turn!After owning and wearing a BLNR daily for a while now, I have been on the hunt for this beauty.It was initially a debate between the Rolex 116619 Smurf or this Patek 5711.After a bit of thinking, and trying both on; I decided that the Patek was the one.I liked the idea of diversifying, and I also would be owning a completely different looking watch.Once I made the decision, I started the hunt.A few weeks ago I messaged a really great guy on this forum, who has now become my friend, and he coincidentally had a brand new one he was looking to part with.Fast forward, and I am now over the moon!!!This is a gift to myself to commemorate a recent step in my Job, as well as my upcoming 25th Birthday.I am extremely thrilled to own such a stunning piece, and feel blessed to have this duo at this stage of my life.After taking the watch to the service centre to remove some links, the woman over there was very kind enough to give me a travel case. Some pictures to share,

Loud Rotor on Pam1024
Hey guys , I just bought a Pam1024 my first from one of sites that sells preowned and new never worn watches. They are not authorized dealers but watch enthusiasts and collectors. The watch came with everything and a stamped warranty card from a AD in Spain.I noticed that when I hold the watch and spin it around the rotor seems loud. The only thing I have to compare it to is my Bremont and Breitling Super Ocean. They make noise also but not as loud as the Pam1024.Is this normal for the Pam? Thanks in advance.

The 116595RBOW
Gentlemen and ladies,I am thinking about this model very much. So much in fact I am considering taking out a HELOC at 3% to purchase one. As the old model was selling for 1.5x the msrp of nearly $100,000 this is surely a good bargain at $96,000. Plus it is a great investment that will surely double in no time. What do you think?P.S. I will keep the stickers on.
