ROC 25860 Conversion
Just picked up an AP Bands ROC conversion kit and strap from someone on TimeZone. Right now, I think I like the bracelet better but this look may grow on me. It does seem to wear a little bigger but it opens up a whole new set of strap options and colors. My nearest AD said that OEM AP straps are $800 and special order. It seems like a lot of money to buy without seeing or trying first.

Navitimer World vs. 01
Looking to see what the major differences are in the Navitimer World vs. Navitimer 01. Am looking at used or new watches and like the silver bands. I think the two two serial numbers are world and the bottom is 01 but what are the differences in these? I think the top three are versions of the world and the bottom is a 01?

Just a thought...
I was on the Rolex section just now and read a post of a member brushing out the PCL's on his GMT, don't throw stones at me as I have no intention of doing it on my 5712 which is IMO absolute perfection but does anyone know someone who ever had the PCL's on Nautilus bracelet brushed out? Of course we are not taking into account the legendary wood chopping 5711 or 3700 don't remember which it is.I suppose it would look great, a little more sporty as the PCL's give them a dressy kind of look, if I had a very big collection I just might be tempted to do it on one of the Nautiluses I would have, anyways I won't have a big collection as I am much happier with 1 to 3 piece collection.If anyone has photos of a Nautilus with brushed PCL's would love to see it.

Panerai Manufacture Visit in Neuchatel
TEMPUSOPERANDI - InstagramFollowing on from my visit to the Panerai Mahon Copa del Rey - Classic Yachts Challenge (.network54/Forum/353391/thread/1441318201) last year, this year I was invited to see the Panerai Manufacture in Neuchatel which I just wanted to share briefly. Unfortunately i am not able to share actual photos inside the manufacture but hopefully it will still be quite interesting. There was also a watch making course where we worked on the P2003 skeleton movement!Day 1:We were picked up from Geneva Airport and whisked straight to our hotel in Neuchatel which was just under 2 hours or so drive. We stayed at the Hotel Palafitte .palafitte.ch/en/home.html which was a really cool hotel as you can see from the photos, the rooms were atop the actual lake so I guess was fitting considering Panerai's marine history! Once I got into my room, there was a small gift and the itinerary waiting for me:For dinner we were taken to La Maison du Prussien
