Can anyone steer me in the right direction?
Hi guys,I want to purchase the AP leather 2 watch travel case but can't seem to get one. Tried a local AD and the Bal Harbour boutique but no luck. Any suggestions or contacts? Here's a pic and thanks for the help.Sean

Chrono Function
Guys, when you wear a chrono watch like my Speedy, do you normally run your chrono in full circle (24 hours) to make sure that everything works fine?I wear it occasionally but when I put it on I run it to make sure everything is fine.

The Pilot Has Landed---5524G Incoming!!!
I waited over a year for this, last week my AD called and said get your ducks in a row, its on the way. So, a quick one hour flight from LA to the Bay Area and it was on my wrist. First impressions, the watch oozes Patek quality, sits flat on my wrist and is very comfortable (will be better with a short strap arriving in a few days), seems light weight after wearing my platinum 5905P, is very legible, and the finishing on the movement is really well done. Something that will take getting used to, the rotor noise is really loud, in fact it's the noisiest watch I've ever seen or heard. Here a couple pictures, more to follow.

First Time Buyer at AD: Some Questions
I normally always buy watches second hand as I typically buy vintage watches or rarely if its a modern peice I'll wait to avoid the often massive depreciation a first time buyer gets hit with. This has changed having seen the Panerai Luminor Due 38mm (PAM755) release at SIHH, I'm smitten and pretty much resigned to the fact I'll need to head to an AD.I've read about the hype surrounding recent Rolex releases and I'm wondering if it can be similar for Panerai: 1. Do new releases often have large waiting lists at ADs? 2. Do ADs often offer discounts on brand new releases? (I've read boutiques don't, best is normally a strap thrown in) 3. Do you expect much hype around this watch? 4. How quickly do watches normally flow through to 2nd hand markets? 5. Does the country you purchase effect any of the above (I can buy the watch in Austrlaia or UK)?

Bracelet check ?
Found a jeweler to replace my broken gmt 78200 bracelet , everything seems fine about except inside clasp looks like it has texture .on my original band it didn't seem as textured so wondering if mine got buffed out and this is normal or not also end links stamp seems smaller ?Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
