Anyone experience? AP stop working :(
Not sure if I am unlucky or it's just unrealiable...Had a brand new volcano previosuly, bought it brand new and stopped working after 1 week, sent back to authorised dealer and got a refund back coz I am not willing to wait for 12 weeks to get it repaired.Now it happened again. Bumblebee completely stopped after only 1.5yrs. Sent back to service centre, claimed that 'oil runs dry' and have to wait for 8 weeks to collect it back. Luckily it is under warranty, otherwise it is another unncessary cost. Been telling myself....this could be the last time I go close to this brand.
ROO Schwarzenegger opinions
Hi guysI was pretty set to go for 15202 in yellow gold but tried a steel version and even with the extra weight I will get with Gold just doesnt have the size I would like from this purchase, I have almost 8 wrist and specifically want yellow gold.So I have decided to move up to ROO, I currently have the Panda which I love and wears perfect so considering the schwarzenegger and would be appreciative of some feedback on the following questions.1. Production I beleive was 2004, without finding a watch that has written proof of servicing, what should I allow for?2. There seems to be quite a few for a LE available, was this piece not overly popular?3. Does anyone have wrist shots and/or close ups IRL?4. Thoughts on brown dial, hard to tell from the photos I have been able to find.Understand thats a lot of questions so very grateful for any feedback.Cheers Mark

My new Patek Philippe Calatrava 5119J
I had been on the hunt for a few months now for my first dress watch in a precious metal, and after considering options like the A. Lange and Sohne Saxonia and Vacheron Constantin Patrimony, I finally decided on the iconic Patek Philippe Calatrava 5119J in yellow gold with the Clous de Paris or hobnail bezel. I also briefly considered the Calatrava 5120 with the micro-rotor calibre 240, but I preferred the slightly larger size of the 5119, the shape of the hands and the petite seconds subdial, which add a bit of visual interest to the otherwise austere dial.I visited many Patek Philippe authorized dealers, both within the United States and in Europe, and while many had the 5119 in rose gold, none had the yellow gold version in stock, and most were quoting a waiting period of about 6 months to a year. The rose gold version blended in with my complexion, so I persisted in my search for one in yellow gold. While visiting Utah, a dealer there said they would be able to get one from Patek i
New rolex rose gold fades!
My 2007 Rose gold president has faded in color, as compared to the 2010 model. It isn't supposed to fade according to Rolex, and it now looks halfway closer to yellow gold, than to a new Rose gold model. It was purchased from Demesy in Texas. A reputable dealer.Has anyone else had this problem?Trumpet
