1 week in...
So Last Saturday my AP ROO RC arrived. I got a wild hair from reading this forum that I really wanted an AP, after more research I decided on the RC as it really fit my style was 42mm and in the lower price bracket for AP. I have NEVER seen an AP in real life so I had a number of questions and I wanted to trade a Rolex that no longer sees much wrist time so I needed some guidance. I started the journey by contacting a few sellers here on the forum, all where helpful but based on the offerings we could not make a deal. Jacob (Deep-House) was referred to me by a friend and was the most helpful. Jacob did not have a RC in my price range but felt he could find an appropriate piece, about 3 weeks later he sent me a text on a RC he just took in and we made a deal. I shipped my Rolex and made a wire transfer, this was my first transaction of this type and because I could find no reviews on Jacob here I would not have done it if a trusted friend of mine had not made a transaction with Jacob i

Panerai deployant buckle a pain-literally!
Hi TRF friends,I purchased a PAM 0164 recently from the Panerai AD in Dubai and am now regretting buying it. The watch is beautiful but the deployant buckle a real pain in literal terms. It's very heavy, gets stuck in the wrist and by the end of the day the whole wrist is in pain. I have tried alternating between the alligator and rubber straps but the problem persists. Even wearing it a bit loose doesn't help. Have any of you experienced the same problem?I called up the AD in Dubai (I live in Pakistan) and they informed me that ordering a strap and pin buckle can take upto 3 months and will cost anything between 400 to 600 USD. Can you believe it ? Makes me wish I had gone for the PAMs 312 or 359 which were about 800 USD more but at least had the pin buckle plus a 3 day power reserve.Can any of you recommend any good aftermarket straps and Pre-Vendome pin buckle suppliers. I tried ordering them online from panatime but for some reason they were not accepting Pakistani credit cards. Ar
