Jus when I thought I will nvr buy an AP...
Well...I kept telling my friends I will nvr get a AP watch except I do like the safari but it wasn't that attractive for me to get it. I was looking for a PAM317 for the last couple of days but there was no stock so was surfing around until I saw this...stung by the poision and it flew deep into my bloodstream. I had no choice but to cure it...

Awful PASC Experience - just got my 237 Back
So, I sent my PAM 237 in to Richemont PASC for a diag/service/polish. It was the beginning of this month. I just received it back tonight and was so excited I open up the box and the cool case they send it back in. It looks so shiny and new and perfectly polished. I am excited I flip it over to the back, aww yeah polished good..... WTF... WTF IS THAT. :bang head:Seriously? It looks like somehow they missed a huge portion of gasket sticking out of the case back? I mean, for real? What is my recourse here? Am I just expected to send it back in and take it on the chin? Should I complain to PASC?Should I demand a free watch for this incompetence (joke) but seriously?

TRF - what 3 things have you learned here?
I've only been a member of TRF for a month, but I've learned a ton. I thought it might be interesting to share lessons learned as a collection of best practices so to speak.I'll start ...1. Buy great watches if you love them when you see them at ADs ... The number one lesson learned for me. In practice, it led me to buy my 116500LN white last week when I wasn't really looking to make a purchase. 2. Only polish nice watches sparingly ... I always assumed that the polishing you get during service intervals was the best part - but I now know that if your watch really doesn't need a polish, then it's probably best to defer or perhaps ask for a light polish only.3. How to best fit an SD43 ... this is a more micro observation, but the thread on the SD43 fitting was awesome. Even the AD I went to hadn't heard the trick about removing the diver's extension. The board has tons of great tips like this.Finally, a thanks to the moderators who have made this the best watch board there is.

So....which, if any rumors turned out to be correct?
I did see one successful prediction.....a member predicted it would be a Pepsi instead of Coke. Other than that???
