I finally scratched the Speedmaster itch...
After 17 Omega and no speedmaster...I Decided that I really needed one...But with the idea of a 'first', the decision became more difficult..I wanted a manual wind to honor the tradition...I Definitely wanted a moon watch..I wanted something more 'my style ' than a basic FoisI wanted a display back...I Think I did alright...image.jpgAll the boxes checked!

Patek or Audemars?? Decisions...decisions!!
First, let me start by saying, this is NOT a which watch is better post. Obviously, the best is very subjective and very personalized to ones taste. Instead, I am just curious as to which piece you would purchase if you were to chose between only these two watches.The first is the classic Patek Phillipe Calatrava. This is no doubt a classic and an icon. Unbelievable craftsmanship and a piece that will certainly be passed down from generations to generations.The second choice is equally impressive. This is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak in Rose Gold. This piece is unmistakable and is pure luxury. The fit and finish on the AP is near perfect and the presence on the wrist is second to none. This is equally an heirloom that will be passed from generation to generation in a family.So, which would you chose? Both have approximately the same price tag and each offer the same features (3 hands and a date function). There is no question that each is as near perfection as you could ever

Greetings from Georgia, USA.I am awaiting delivery on my 1st Rolex from my local AD due to additional links needed for my 9 inch wrists.Heretofore, I have worn nexpensive watches 24/7. I was smitten by the imposing presence of the Bluesy, but am concerned about preserving its good looks.How can I minimize the damage associated with constant wear?

1986 Datejust 16014
Hi,This is my first time on here so hope I'm getting it right.My wife recently bought me a 1986 Datejust 16014 which I really love but it has no original box with it. I am looking for a replacement but I'm not sure of the box number for that watch. Does anyone on here know the box number for that date and model Datejust, know what outer sleeve it should have and have a rough estimate to the cost of a replacement?Thank youKevin

Got my local AD to order and put in a Pepsi bezel in my recently acquired F serial. Also added a link for a good comfortable fit. Life is beautiful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
