3126 Movement issues
I finally purchased my first AP a 26400so 44 steel/ceramic about 2 weeks ago and almost instantly noticed my chrono was stopping and the watch had power reserve issues. Being the watch was BNIB, it's a bit irritating to have to send it off to AP Clearwater for repair and wait a few weeks. AP told me the chrono module had an issue and was causing the issues. My question is why are these 3126 movements having issues on new watches? I've read a post recently with a member who had a similar issue on the new 44 RG. Has AP upgraded anything to prevent this issue? Im told a master watchmaker is going to repair the chrono module vs replace due to backorder of parts. Hopefully it comes back fully functional so I can enjoy my first AP!

AP 15300 blue dial - authentic or not ?
Hello everyone. So I've been on the lookout for a 15300 with the blue dial for a while now and I've done as much research as I could. Finally i've located one that seems to be in a fair condition, never had service and for a fair price. Only issue is, that it comes without papers. And since we are meeting in germany (I have to fly there) I would like to make sure before i go there, that the watch seems to be authentic. So hope you can help me see if everything seems to be in fine order, Also if there is anything in particular I should know before the purchase. Thank you very much guys !

New AP...what do you think?
New to the thread. Longtime AP lover. I just picked this up on Thursday, it is technically my 2nd AP. I bought the 44mm stainless the day it came out and loved it as my daily beater for 2 years until 6 months ago I decided to sell to clear up some cash to finish my new house. Right after I purchased mine I bought my wife the new ladies royal oak with diamond bezel(I did not sell hers lol) needles to say I finally got to buy what I consider to be my favorite current AP 44mm. I love the silver dial and contrasting sundials and bezel. Also I noticed a huge difference is the brushing definition on the ceramic bezel. So much deeper then in 2012.

RO/ROO scratches - inevitable?
Hi fellas,I know there are tonnes of threads of lads complaining how the polished parts of RO's and ROO's are 'scratch magnets' but I did not know it was that bad (although I own AP's :s)Got a brand new ROO 42mm ss recently and I have been wearing very very carefully, no contact with anything etc, but there seems to be some 'hair lines' on the bezel - is it possible that this could have happened due to my clothing? I know I havent banged it anywhere etc.AP's are so gorgeous but so fragile in this sense :s

GMT BLNR Today or Wait for SS Pepsi
Looking for input here, it's something I'm seriously considering.In short, I have the opportunity to pick up a BLNR from my AD within a month's time. I could have had one last weekend but I told my sales guy that given how close we are to Basel, I just had to wait and see what happens. If the new release was going to be a Coke on jubilee, I would have ran back to him to get a BLNR as fast as possible. The Pepsi release mixes things up though.I'm already on a wait list for the Pepsi with small deposit at an AD in TX where I have some family. They wouldn't take full payment since I guess they haven't received the manifest yet and probably don't know for sure when the new GMT is coming in and how many they're getting.From my perspective, the attractive qualities of the Pepsi include:1) classic color scheme. I don't own a GMT yet -- if I were to add one to my collection, this would be a great model to have2) more fun and flashy looking than the BLNR. I have some other Rolex watches I could
