New or Used 15400
Hey guys, I'm new to the forums. Looking to get an AP Royal Oak 15400. What do you guys think? I don't plan on selling it (if new I'm worried about resale value), but I'd like to know I can if I really need to. Thanks in advance!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pam 372 plexi and sapphire crystal information to share
Since the new serial Pam 372s come with sapphire crystals instead of plexi, I was curious if the prior 372s could be retrofitted. Went to the Panerai website and chatted online with them regarding this. After 5 minutes of the customer service person researching the issue, she came back with no, the design is different and the plexi models cannot be retrofitted. I'm sure the Paneristi would say it's blasphemy to put sapphire on the 372 but I'm looking forward to seeing one. I have actually cracked a plexi 372 crystal so plexi is not for me. So there you have it.

Northern Jersey ADs
Heading out to Bergen County. Would love to find an AD or two so my wife can try some 31s on. If you have any recommendations that would be great. Preferably somebody willing to discount.
