REC P-51 Review
Ford Mustang VIN number 6F87CT85151 lived a rather average life. Born in early 1966, it toured the roads in style and power for years before it fell by the wayside after a minor accident. Left to sit in a field for far too long, what started as an easily repairable issue became unsalvageable as rust and decay set in. With a production run of over 600,000 in 1966 alone, it's by no means a unique story. Still, when talking about such an icon, it's always sad to see one fall through the cracks and become lost forever. Luckily for 6F87CT85151 and for the rest of us, the story didn't end there. Dead as it was, the Mustang still had more to give, and thanks to its owner's generous donation, VIN number 6F87CT85151 sacrificed its body to bring us this- the REC P-51.The P-51, named for the Ford Mustang's famous warbird namesake, is the fourth effort for Danish brand REC and the fullest extension of their unique mission- to create evocative, attractive timepieces out of reclaimed automotive mate

Love/Hate Relationship with AP
I seem to developing a love/hate relationship with AP and maybe even haute horology in general.On one hand, my favorite all-time watch is my 25860 ROC. There's just something about seeing that bracelet and the hexagonal bezel screws on your wrist. Nothing quite like it to me.On the other hand, there is service. As chronicled here (), I had some service-related issues with this watch after a full movement service in late 2014. Then this fall I noticed some slippage of the crown while winding and eventually I could not wind via the crown. So I sent it back in to Clearwater. Today I got a call from Betsy to go over the $3100 estimate. The hairspring was out of place and they say it needed to be replaced and well as the rotor. They asked me if anyone opened the case and I said absolutely not, because it just had a fairly recent full service. And I said that I thought they put stuff on the screws so they can tell if someone opened it anyway (I didn't really get any acknowledgement

3rd year warranty question
Hi Everyone,I'm getting ready to send my 15400 to Clearwater to get my pressure test for my extra warranty year. I've only had the watch a month and hate to see it go, but figured it's worth it. -I'm sending UPS 2nd day insured and including my warranty book. - I registered the watch online. Am I missing any other steps?What's a typical turnaround time?Also I need a 1.5 link so I was going to include a note to purchase one and have it installed. Will they be able todo that?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
