Need help choosing the next one....
Hi Gang,The journey's been real. I guess my AP love affair really didn't start until my second time around. What I mean is, it's always memorable to reconvene with something so great the second time you got to come around owning it. I got my first AP when I was way too young and before I realized it was something so great it had already been flipped. That was a black themed SS offshore on calf (before hornbacks were the standard straps). I completely deviated from any AP pieces for a long while until I bought my second one back (ROC Panda) less than a month ago. For a while I thought I was done with the offshore line (to sort of justify having sold my 1st one), but no, I bought a diver right after the panda. And of course, all your gorgeous pics of your offshores, be it LE or not, have made me come around and now wanting one again. I've narrowed down to just four and wanted to know which one you guys think I should go for.1. Volcano2. Bumble Bee3. Gentleman's Driver4. 57th Street NYChe

Speedmaster MK II case back question
Is there a clear (sapphire) case back that's made for this watch or is there one that's a lower profile? I like this watch except that it's a bit thick. I was wondering if a narrower case back could be installed to reduce the overall thickness.I searched online and on this forum, but no luck.thanks!

Patek Updates
Just picked up the 5711 and thought I should probe a bit about sales and how much softening they were seeing:a). Production will reduce to about 50000;B). They have been asked to provide purchasers names on most preorders. C). Attempt to clamp down on grey market and certain models will have the warranty cars produced by PP with the buyers name in itD). Possibly holding warranty cards for 5 years on certain models - not sure how that will work??E). Nautilus 40th will be underwhelming. PP just had 175 and 40 not that important. They trying to do nothing but consumers expect a lot so will be 2 models but expect to be underwhelmed. A request for a 5711P as an anniversary piece declined by Geneva already. F). PP is reducing dealers (guess on lower production cake slices need to be maintained) therefore AD will be reluctant to offer discounts that could cause them to lose favor or their franchise. Mentioned they rather lose a deal if someone can getter better elsewhere!

Two new straps from Bangkok
Landed in Bangkok yesterday for my honeymoon. Who better to be greated by at our hotel other than Peter from Watchacc to hand deliver some straps. Picked up these two beauties from him. My buddy who is here on his anniversary with his wife also picked up a black nubuck. Peter's straps are really well made and the texture of the skins are beautiful! I got myself a black/blue nubuck and Hermes orange alligator strap. Thanks again Peter! And the man himself! I'm on the left, Peter in the middle, and my buddy, Charlie, on the right.

Submariner 116610LN Certificate Card FONT STYLE?!
HelloI am about to give up my GMT-Master II in favor for a Submariner 116610LN. I have only seen pictures of the Sub so far (will of course take it to an AD before I buy it, if I will). So when looking at the picture of the certificate card I find that the Font used is not the same font I have on my certificate on my 116710. On the Sub's card the font looks more like Times new roman (see picture below) and on all other cards I've seen, the font is more like Arial?cert1.jpgWhat do you think about this? The watch is sold from AD in Greece in 2012 I believe. Does Rolex use different font's, sounds strange to me if so. Here is a picture of the Sub anyhow. Does it look authentic to you?2016-01-31 08.58.05.jpgIMG_3897.jpgIMG_3899.jpgIMG_3901.jpgIMG_3902.jpg
