AP bracelet to strap conversion?
Hi,If you want to convert a bracelet model like the chrono or ROO to a strap, do you use the top link pieces off the bracelet or do to have to purchase them? Doesn't look like they come off the bracelet from my observation. I thought I saw somewhere there was a TRF member who was selling them?Thanks

Incoming.. 5712 ... Let's see your pics!
Hey All,I've been waiting for some time to get a 5711, but I wanted to buy it brand new vs pre-owned. I was offered one by my AD in December, but it wasn't a good time for me to bring a 5711 into the fold.After a recent discussion with my AD, they let me know that they received a 5712. I did some research and decided to stretch a bit to get into the 5712 vs the 5711. I currently own a 5167, so also felt the 5711 would be a bit of an overlap.No pics yet as I pick it up this weekend, but I would love to hear from current 5712 owners! How do you enjoy your 5712's? Anyone else want a 5711 and decide to stretch to the 5712 instead? Was it worth it for you? Would love to see your 5712's!! The wait is killing me, but I've waited quite some time to get a Nautilus, so two more sleeps won't kill me Thanks!!

Which battery for a 8419?
Just wondering if anyone can help me. I have inherited my mum's Patek Calatrava Ref. 4819, which I am giving to my wife. I have searched the web but can't kind what battery is takes, anyone know? Shame it wasn't a mechanical movement, but I guess many of the lady's watches (even in Paterk's range) came in quartz. My dad had removed the battery several years ago, so I have no reference point.Thanks,Gabriel

Rolex YM RG 116655 40mm Could drop to 14k-15k??? This year???
So as we all know PM's tend to drop in value over time. With that being said the YM RG 116655, is still selling for a high value compared to retail. Would you think the pre-owned prices would be coming down within the next year or two? I believe the 116655 could go to ~15k because #1 it's a strap and more popular models Daytona's/Sub's have decreased MORE over time then where the YM is currently at.If history holds to the YM RG 116655��.the price COULD drop to 14k-15k����.Let me know what you have witnessed over time of PM's and their price trends. Thanks!116655Used/Grey mkt: $18,500-20kRetail $24,950That's only ~ 25% from retail and ~2yr old modelCompared to a Solid gold SubYG Sub 116618 Used/Grey mkt: $21k-22kRetail $34,25035-38% off retailCompared to Daytona on strap:116518/116519Retail: 30,900Used/Grey mkt: $14-15k50% off retail!!!IF the YM drops to Subs range: 35-38% off retail= 15k-16kIF the YM drops to Strap Daytona range: 50% off retail= $12-13k!!

MSRP on Rolex website
I just realized that Rolex is no longer putting MSRP under the models on their website. Any thoughts why? In the past, only the PM models had no MSRP listed.
