Need some advice on the "T" watch...
What do people here think about the AP Royal Oak Extra Thin Tourbillon in stainless steel? I might get a pretty good offer from a local AD that I'm very close with. This will be my first ap tourbillon and something that I think will stand the test of time will be passed on to the next generation. However, I will need to let go of 2-3 AP's depending on which I let go. I don't wanna spend extra cash on it so the question is, which 2-3 would you let go if you were me to acquire this grail. This will be a keeper for sure. I presume keepers:- RO stainless steel skeleton perpetual calendar- RO 15305 rose gold open work- ROO RB2 ti The ones I could sacrifice:- RO 15202 rose gold- ROO jarno trulli- ROO QE2 diver- ROO ceramic diver- ROO Novelty navy 42mmSo if you were me, which 2-3 watches would you sacrifice or should I just enjoy my current collection and don't be silly.

Please Help - Torn between a good deal and concerns about authenticity
Hi Folks,I'm considering pulling the trigger on a Jules Audemars date and power reserve model 25955BC.OO.D002CR.01, NOS, from a 'reputable' grey market jeweler. The rub is that it comes with Box, but no papers (bought as part of a large block of watches, and somehow misplaced the papers). It does however come with a 2 year - grey market - warranty, a - short - return period (not long enough to send to Florida for ID), and a rather attractive price (~55% off original list). I also like the watch, and it's no longer easily available (I would actually prefer the simpler small seconds with no extra dials version even better, but that is also very hard to get these days, it would appear, and i could not locate one at a good price from even as reliable a dealer as this - found one in Taiwan that only accepts wire transfers (!) :-(). My question is three-fold: 1. Is this an authentic piece - as far as you experts can tell from the attached pictures. Note in particular the 750 etc markings

1961 seamaster help
Good morning AllWent up to my parents due to an extremely unfortunate death in our family. While at my parents for dinner my dad gave this 1961 (?) Omega Seamaster. It originally belonged to his grandfather. As you can see it was for 40 years of service at his company. It runs, not sure how well it keeps time yet. But, I'd like to get it restored as well as possible while keeping it original. I have zero motivation to ever sell it, even if it was worth a lot (quick google search says it's not worth much anyway)Any help on exact model or whom may do work on vintage Omegas is appreciated. ThanksHard to see, but on the back it says:Presented to J.C. Wright in recognition of 40 years of service. The white motor company 1961. Also says waterproof and Seamaster Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

UK AD nonsense to be practiced in US.
Was at my AD today and placed a deposit on a GMT 2 tone that will be a gift for my uncle. After I give the deposit he tells me that since its a gift they will retain the warranty card until he confirmed receipt of said gift. I was shocked. He then shows me an email from rolex that says best practices since the rolex product is in auch high demand Rolex Authorized Jewelers must adopt Rolex's Best Practices 1) no warranty card to be left blank 2) all watches must be sold in store and stickers must be peeled at time of purchase. 3) if watch is a gift then warranty card will be retained till the gift is confirmed and then will be shipped to the recipient. I was in shock! Long story short, I have a very good relationship with my AD and he knows my family very well so he agreed to ship the card with the watch. Rolex is really starting to get out of hand.
