korean patek pricing?
know they tend to run a fair bit higher in korea but was wondering if could get some help as far as pricing in nautilus and aquanaut models.

polished, brushed questions.
I'm interested in buying a Panerai. I am new to this brand as I just started to see the models in the photos I would like to know when talking about cases and bezel that there is a difference between polished steel and brushed titanium. I guess the polished is brighter but I want to be sure. I also do not understand when in 1351 they speak of polished titanium. Is it as bright as polished steel? Thank you.

My story whith the new Pam590 ...!!
I've read from other guys who had the same issue!!. Honestly I don't believe them till I had the same experience.Ok, last month I've contacted a Panerai US Boutique to order the new Pam590 (to be delivered to US address). Last week I got email from the same boutique telling me that this reference is exclusive to US market (Ok I know that) and they'll be able to sell it ONLY if it is accompanied by another Panerai watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.I think this is totally wrong marketing way!!. Why should I get something I don't need it while you'll give me the original item in full price. I immediately cancel the whole idea as I don't see or hear that any other brand did the same.IMHO, these bad marketing/selling ways brought the brand to the basement level!!!!.Forgive me but I've a message to Panerai Management: Guys, are you suffering from the very drop-off your brand to force buyers to buy unneeded watch to get what they want??!!

Bracelet sizing help
New to the forum and first time Rolex owner. I just bought a new Explorer 214270 2 weeks ago. For reference I have a 6.75 wrist and like my watch pretty snug on my wrist. I had the AD take out 1 link from both sides at the time of sale. The micro adjust was on the middle position and this is all with the easy link closed. Last week I had the micro adjust moved to the tightest position which helped a little, but I still want a tad tighter. As of today I have 4 links on the 6 o'clock side and 6 links on the 12 o'clock side, the micro adjust in its tightest setting, and the easy link closed. The entire clasp mechanism (not just the clasp buckle) is centered on my wrist and the watch case. Any suggestions on how to take about a half links worth of space out without significantly altering the balance? Any combo of links removed and the micro adjust positions works as long as the easy link stays closed, as I do live where it can get pretty hot during the day, but cool at night. This photo s

Can you repair a spring bar of a 16628?
I was changing straps on a 1999 (i think) 16628, and then the spring bar came apart. I was observing how it worked, and it seems theres a small slit in between the barrel of the spring bar, and I guess it widened a little to push 1 end of the spring bar out. Is this repairable? if not, how much is a replacement spring bar. I am not sure, but I think they're solid gold as well.
