First AP forum post. Looking for advice on Canadian AD
Hey everyone. First post in this forum. I am considering the new AP royal oak that was released this year with the panda dial new from AD. Any suggestions for an AD in Canada? Any advice on if a discount is possible to negotiate? I don't think i would be interested at full pop...I am considering this or a Patek 5167 to be specific. Here is a picture of the new steel royal oaks.

Back to AP...
Is not a Surprise, but yeah INCOMING.................

Winding a Speedmaster Auto Date 3210.50.00
Greetings everybody. I'm a new real watch owner and my first purchase was this new Speedmaster Auto-Date 3210.50. I absolutely love the watch and it seems to be keeping very good time after a week of ownership. I have searched quite a bit for an answer regarding winding an automatic watch, but haven't come up with anything substantial - most answers are regarding the Speedy Pro.My question is how often do I need to wind the watch? I understand it has a 44 hour reserve, but the book doesn't give much as far as a guideline for winding it. Initially, I wound it about 15 or 20 times and that's been about it. I purchased it new, so who knows how long it was in the display case. Also, do I wind until it stops? I'm thinking I should do this and then just continue wearing it every day...Thanks.John

While waiting for my 5980r from Sydney AD...
Hi FellasCant wait for the piece to arrive!!! Cant stop thinking about it... So apologies to post another new thread on this watch 😁😁I paid AU$68,518 for this watch after discount and tax etc... That is approx US$48,0311 by today's bank rate (which is a worse rate compared to money changer).Do your think this is a good deal? Or have i paid too much?? I tried comparing prices just by googling... Some cheaper prices... But I havent bought a watch online/grey dealer/etc before I dont feel safe dealing with non ADs.I know also theres no backing out anymore now, but just wanted to see if i made the right decision :)And just to remind myself of this beauty.... 😊

Will a 20mm Nato fit 19mm lug width?
Since there are so many more options at 20mm, am wondering if they will fit into the 19mm lug width of a Tudor Black Bay 36
