Reflections of a Rolex to AP convert
Over the years, if Rolex made it, I owned it. As in probably a dozen different models mostly in the SS sport line. As a younger man, to me it represented the pinnacle of prestige. Rolex is oh so awesome at marketing. In the last few years I have acquired a taste for something different, not in small part due to the fact that it seemed that every schmo out there sporting a Submariner or a 20 year old Date Just with an awful after-market diamond bezel thinks they are big time. You can sense it in some (disclaimer....not all) on the various Rolex forums. It's the look at me, look at my car, obnoxious new money (or not) mentality.So long story short....I recently picked up a new AP Diver. I wear it every day. It's heavy. That took a bit of getting used to. The finish and craftsmanship are world class. The movement is a work of art. It's a consistent +5 seconds per day which, although not thrilled, I can live with until serviced for my 3rd year additional warranty. I think what I like best

Audemars piguet oem parts
I'm looking for a deployant ss buckle and safari croc leather straps. Does any one know retail prices for these items? Also if any trusted sellers may have these items?

Any Speedmaster 376.0822 owners ?
There's a lot of watches out there I'd like to have but this possibly the only one I'd get close to calling grailDue to contract\ employment uncertainty I had to pass on one late 2009 at what now seems a ludicurosly low price of $5.5. Few days after it sold - I got extended !! Maybe meant not to be. Maybe ..... !!I see one just popped up on another forum (check out watchrecon). $11KAnyway - not at that price for me. Interested to hear any owner stories - how they acquired etc

PP 5970J or Rolex PN 6239 Panda
I may have the opportunity to trade my 5970 for a super mint 6239 PN Panda. I love the 5970 and consider it close to perfect but it never gets wrist time. I am afraid of scratching or dinging it. I also have preferred bracelet watches to straps. Down the road the 5970 may be worth a lot as they didn't make many J's. Is this a crazy trade?
