Thinking of trading my TT bluesy toward ROO
Some of my Rolex buddies will probably think this is crazy but I have an excellent condition (perfect condition actually) TT Bluesy submariner 116613LB that I think I can get $10,300 for (two gray dealers offered me $9500 for it) and use that toward buying a brand-new AP Royal Oak Offshore chronograph. My only concern is the bezel of the AP looks like it is the ultimate scratch magnet. What do you guys think? Is the movement in this AP dependable? Who has them and really likes them? I would absolutely have to sell the submariner to help finance the AP. Thanks!!

A big congratulations to one of my all time favourite footballer Lionel Messi for the 4th consecutive FIFA Ballon d'Or award! Anyone already has the new AP ROC Lionel Messi on hand? Would really be interested to look for the wrist shots.

PAM312 has stopped. HELP
Hi. My 312 started to play up slightly a few weeks ago and now:1. The hour hand will not move smoothly if not at all to set. 2. When you set and pop the crown back in it jumps a hour. 3. Running fine on the wrist until taken off and then runs for no more than an hour. Any ideas??Really nervous about sending it away after all the horror stories online. Wes

Any speculations on how the sunburst dials will age?
Original black Rolex dials tend to fade after decades of wear (exposure to sun). Some even crack or develop an orange/brown hue. Any thoughts on how the sunburst dials will age? Is there enough of whatever they have going on that reflects light so well to continue that brilliance even with some significant age? Any chemists out there?
