New admiration for the ROO
Hi guys. I've been a Panerai/Rolex guy for a while, but recently acquired a taste for the AP. I've tried on various Royal Oaks, but always thought the ROO was too big for me. I had a chance today to try on a pair of Offshore models, and I think I am hooked.The AD had the new 26400 titanium model, as well as a Silver dial model. I am now considering trading my PAM 335, and possibly my Hulk for this model. The silver dial really sings to me.I also had a few questions.1) Do you think the watch looks too big on my wrist?2) I've noticed that some ceramic bezels have the awesome vertical brush finishing, and some (maybe due to photo lighting) seemed to not have them. Do all the 26400 models have the vertical brushed finish?3) Are there any differences between the I and J series for the silver dial? Thanks again everyone.

Where do AP's hold their incredible value?
Hello, Pardon the simplicity of this question...I am curious as to where these watches are generating massive monetary value. I understand materials, craftsmanship, and precision come into play, but it seems like AP's lower end models are leaps and bounds ahead of many other luxury brands as far as pricing goes. Is there something I am missing? Secondary market strength? Lucrative crafting? I appreciate all answers/references/resources & would like to state I am here to learn.- Thank youMP

A few weeks back I posted a thread as I was contemplating between a 233 vs. 2016 IWC BP. I currently own a 557 and 425. After further assessment I pulled the trigger on the new 2016 IWC BP with the number 9 and original location of the index triangle. My PAMs have a different feel but this BP is in another level. It feels nostalgic watching the second hand sweeps and a pure bliss to wear on your wrist. Don't get me wrong I love my PAMs but to be honest its tends to get boring when they have numerous iterations of the same watch. Please enjoy the pics and thanks again for all your feedback.

Calling all Jubilee Experts!? (please)
Hi guys,Mostly a lustful lurker all this time but I seemed to have stepped into my first Rolex conundrum. I just purchased this bracelet as a genuine Rolex vintage jubilee (ebay). However, I've never seen a Rolex bracelet that uses pins instead of screws??? I've been told this is correct. Are there any experts that can confirm/deny based on these pics? Would appreciate any and all comments!Thanks,Bob
