PO 8500: SS vs. Ti
After seeing beautiful pictures of the PO 8500 Ti I made a few phone calls to ADs today and found out that nobody has them yet, at least in the SF Bay Area. I haven't tried on a 45.5mm watch (biggest one I have is 42mm) so I went to an AD to see for myself. I love the size! I tried on this PO 8500 SS. Now I'm kinda torn between the two. The blue of the Ti version is simply stunning, at least in the pictures I've seen. On the other hand, the SS version is gorgeous too. For those who have seen both in person, which one do you like more and do you think the Ti version is worth the $2600 premium over the SS?

Bye Bye 5712?
Hello everyone, this is an update to my 5712 jammed moon phase. I paid around 29,000 USD for my 5712 last year second hand from this reliable seller but won't put his name out, he offered me one 5712 for more than $29K it was around $31k but it had to many scratches and no papers. Then he offered me this 5712 for $29K with the box and papers so i couldn't resist (it was my first Patek) when i had that opportunity. I will soon go and talk to the store that sold me watch and ask for a trade or a refund *fingers crossed* (a full refund), i sent my 5712 to the AD but the cost of sending it there and the period of time it takes for them to send back an estimation is 4 weeks and i can't imagine the price to fix the moon phase. I don't think its worth sending it to get repaired since i would lose either way selling it with a lower price or selling it repaired. So i am not sure what my next watch would be or ill probably just stick to it with a broken moon phase.

Will daytonaC and ss skydweller lose some love with Basel new releases?
The title says it! With a lot of people bought already from TSs and paid a hefty premium, would be disappointing if new Basel releases steal the light from Daytona and skyD. Or if some models like LVc and BLNR if the get discontinued, I'd imagine money going towards them over Daytonas and skyDThoughts?

Rolex Explorer II Ref.16570 - Wrong Clasp Installed
Hi,Bought my self an EX II from 91 (N Serial#). Unfortunately I did not pay enough attention to the clasp. After receiving it, I was a little bit surprised that an Oysterclasp was attached. Strabge thing is that it fits to the watch (from the year pont of view). It is a P Serial, also 92.Would it be possible that the first buyer had the clasp changed by the AD, or did someone just replace the upper part of the clasp?Could someone tell me which clasp should be installed?
