AP Royal Oak as daily wearer?
Hi All,Looking into an AP royal oak, either the newer 1400 41mm or the previous 15300 39mm.I love my sub and do use it as my daily wearer. Can anyone share if the AP royal oak will withstand the rigors of day to day when at work in a suit or on the weekend?Also any thoughts on the size, I'm concerned the 41mm will be a tad too big to wear under the cuff?Any advice appreciated.Cheers.

My Grandfather's Omega
Thought I share a picture of my grandfather's Omega. Watch was given to my grandfather by his company for his long years of service and was his daily beater.He handed it down to me last year and by then the watch crystal was badly scratched, the minute hand was loose and the movement was in a rather bad shape from lack of service.Sent it back to Bienne and after a 6 month long wait I'm rather pleased with the result

3940 and 5140
HelloI'm interested in these two watches and I'm looking for information about the differenced between them. I believe that the 3940 came out first and was then replaced by the 5140. Is this the case and can anyone tell me what the differences are please?Thanks

47 mm question
I am venturing into Panerai. I only have Rolexes. One time we were waiting for a table on a restaurant, I wandered inside the Mall and saw Panerai(s) on display and one model caught my eye. I went inside and asked what model it was? The salesperson said 557 and got it from the front display for me to try. It dwarfed my fatlady (16760). Anyway the salesperson said it looks nice on me. Don't you just like salespersons. I know big watches are the trend. I am still old school when it comes to watches. I know there are 44-45 mm models but the 557 or 372 with the gold hands and yellowish sandwich(?) markers against a black dial are sweet. Can I pull off a 47 mm? I am 5'7, have a 7 inch wrist and wears size large gloves. What do you guys think?

HELP Buying first Rolex in London/UK!?
hi guysi have been following these forums for a long time trying to decide what watch to buy over the next 3 months and have decided it will be a Datejust with a fluted bezel. But i am still a watch beginner and only own a Rado, DW and few other basic watches but have been an admirer of Rolex DJ and Omega Speedmast/Seamaster for a long time. Being I'm in the UK and this site seems very heavily focused on USA seller and AD's and I just don't know where i can buy the watch?I have been looking at the ads from AD's on this forum but not sure if i can trust them as i don't want to buy a fake and especially when shipping abroad. So ideally i need a recommendation for UK/London sellers who are reasonably priced for a used model, my budget is 3-4k GBP. Can anyone recommend somewhere to buy or should i risk online from USA? This is the type of watch, but i find this site watchfinder slightly expensive. I will be wearing this casually and at work, smooth bezels seem to be cheaper, is the f
