Panda strap to bracelet change NOT possible ???
I went into my AD this aft. to swap out the strap from my Panda to an OEM bracelet for the summer. Now I have never had this bracelet on the Panda but have switched in on and off my diver several times when I had it. After waiting for 30 minutes the AD service tech comes in and to my surprise tells me that he cannot get the bracelet to attach. He removed the plots and the strap and the bracelet seems to be a perfect fit (its OEM) into the plot openings but when he goes to put the screws in they dont fit and do not seem to go all the way through to the plots in order to secure the them.Am I missing something ? Are there different screws needed for this ? Why would the bracelet easily attach to the AP diver and not a Panda....same case, same size? Please help TIA !

Audemars Piguet Boutique in Singapore
Hi All,I am actually set on buying my 2nd Rolex ( probably an Explorer ) but I have also been browsing this section of the forum and looking at all the beautiful AP watch photos, I am getting really curious about this brand as well and will like to check it out.As I am going back to Singapore later this week to pick up some accessories from my Rolex AD in Orchard Road, as well as to check out the Explorer, I will like to make a detour to the AP boutique located not far away before I decide.For those that have frequent or purchase from this place, can you post here or PM me the AP Singapore boutique's salesperson contact details? Will very much appreciate that so that I can make some inquiries or perhaps make an appointment. Thanks!

Omega Speedmaster newbie
HiSo I've never been really interested in omega but as i am growing my collection. I find myself wanting to get an omega speed master with a brown dial. When looking at pricing i see a speedmaster for 6k and some for $1800. To me they look the same but I'm assuming there difference references. I dont want something too expensive. I for sure want it to be a brown dial and i know i want to put it on a vintage leather strap. My question is which reference should i be looking at, so its a little easier for me to find. I would like to spend no more than $2500. I will not wear it on a steel bracelet so that doesn't matter to me. Don't want to pay extra for a nicer bracelet reference. Is there any websites about the speedmaster that i can read that talks about the difference references. Feel free to post pictures as well as i don't really know what I'm looking at.

Looking for my 1st SMP300 - which will you pick?
Thinking of adding this iconic Omega to my collection. Never really been a Omega dive watch fan but the PO8500 and SMP300 slowly winning me over...Now it is either the wave dial with AL bezel insert or the ink blue dial with ceramic bezel insert. Both running on the 2500 caliber.The older model has a white date wheel and the newer one shows a black date wheel.The blue is the new model is richer and the blue in the old model a little subdued.Dimensions remain similar. The new model costs about USD450 more than the old model.Which do you own? Any thoughts?Below are pictures taken from Omega official site.The New SMP300:The Old SMP300:thanks for your inputs! :)
