Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Question. Damaged?
Hello everyone,First time member here and hoping I can get anyone's opinion and help.I received my Royal Oak as a graduation gift when visiting Paris and have owned it for a year and some.I accidentally dropped my watch -- thankfully in the travel case provided by AP -- and came across the following problems.- When using the watch after the watch has been idle for a month or so, the time seemed to be going faster and going ahead 3 minutes. This seems to only occur when I use the watch after a long period of time, but seems to be fixed when using it more often. I provided a video below.- When i try to set the time, the minute hand seems to have a delay when turning the crown.- When i try to set the time, the Seconds hand seems to twitch when setting the time. (around the 0:08 second mark) - when i push the crown back into place, the minute hand has a tendency to bounce (0:25 second mark)I know when i purchased it there was that delay when turning the crown, but did not make anything of

Scratch?!?
What scratches?! All this talk of being a scratch magnet... sheesh, my 2yr old 15300 still looks like new despite regular wear. You guys must swing your arms around like gorillas!

5980R thoughts
Evening,I am currently an owner of a 5205R-010, but have decided to try and find something a little more sporty in style so that it suits my dress style a bit better and so I should get even more usage out of it.This led me to consider a number of watches, but today I viewed a 5980R on leather strap. I was extremely impressed by this watch in terms of wrist presence and the beauty of the proportions, dial and rose gold. I do love the full gold bracelet model, but it is too flashy for me to use frequently and I still have my girls' tuition fees to pay ha! As such I am certainly interested in moving forward with the 5980R on leather strap, albeit viewing a platinum Daytona tomorrow, but thought I should put it to the experts here as to some thoughts on the watch. What are thoughts of the PP chronograph, of the Rose Gold design and strap integration? Anything previous owners have gotten sick of or current owners remain in love with this reference?

All good things come to those who wait...
It's a cliche, but a good one. I'm so glad I waited to purchase the 5726 1a from an AD, who had exceptional customer service. I am absolutely thrilled. I was too excited to set the date, here are some pics. Here is my thread dealing with an AD, with poor customer service. I'm glad I did my business elsewhere. rolexforums/showthread.ph...o+hard+to+give

How hard is 5167 to source in the UK ?
Decided back in May that my next purchase would be 5167 on rubber strap. My first Patek.I have an AP RO and do not what another bracelet watch hence not considered the 5711.My usual AD told me should have one coming in end June/July and it still has not arrived.Happened to pass another AD last week that told have one in but someone was ahead of me and was viewing it on monday. It turns out that is the bracelet version and the other person has passed on it. Now been given the hard sell that Patek will not be supplying these as rubber only option and if pay steel price they will throw in rubber strap and deployment in for free( Still 2k more then rubber only version)Can anyone shed anylight if Patek are controlling 5167 supply with just rubber straps. If this is really the case guessing my usual AD will probably not get one in near future ?I'm not really keen to source from overseas due to possible VAT hit and ideally want totally brandnew watch ( 1st owner )Any advise/thoughts would be
