A Very Special ROO LE
No, it's NOT the ROO LBJ If you have read my earlier thread about my visit to APSC Singapore, you may recall I've mentioned that AP was going to launch a very special ROO LE.It was finally launched in September 2013 during the Singapore F1 season. There was no big bang announcement like the LBJ, but AP had chosen to launch this very limited LE, 20 pieces to be exact, while hosting their new owners who were specially picked by AP at a posh suite located at the GP paddock during an adrenaline-pumped F1 race evening. Looks familiar? Isn't it the ROO ref. 25721ST? Yes! On the dial side, it is a re-launched of the very first ROO design way back in 1993. Ref.25721ST is the mother of all ROO and really deserves a special treatment to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Offshore line. And so the birth of this very exclusive LE. AP has updated the original JLC-based movement with the in-house 3120 base movement. The LE comes with a sapphire crystal case back which exposes the exquisite move

1969 Speedmaster incoming.. My first Speedmaster!
Finally a Speedy for me. I paid for it last night and should have it in a day or two here. It looks original to me. The seller listed it as original. I have a NASA type velcro strap incoming along with a leather strap and a NATO type I already have here. The auction was for the watch head only. Which was fine with me. I swap bracelets a lot and can always add a period correct bracelet later is how I figure it. I chose to go vintage instead of newer. I love the fact its already old, with some wear on it, and I just love the older dial too. Here are some pics.

5980r not winding???
Hi guys,Hopefully this is not another is it safe question 😅.I was setting my 5980, and after finished, changed the crown position to winding, but it felt loose. Like really really loose, no grinding noise like you would normally have when winding.The crown was also returning the other direction when I'm wounding it. (Like a spring like effect)Is this normal??? Should i just keep winding until i hear the grinding sound? Or is this a problem?

Took the Extended Warranty from Tournau for my Pam 104
Happy, piece of mind for $500 new straps, external damage, and servicing all make it worth it. Plus if I ever sell the Pam 104 the warranty is trarnsferrable.
