New RO chrono teaser on AP Facebook page?
Audemars Piguet Facebook page just posted a teaser video with this copy:Coming soon. A novelty from Le Brassushttps://.facebook/audemarspig...WSFEED&fref=nfIt is clearly a chrono RO, but it is little strange to announce new chrono and the SIHH RO novelties just hit ADs and boutiques...

Thinking of trading my TT bluesy toward ROO
Some of my Rolex buddies will probably think this is crazy but I have an excellent condition (perfect condition actually) TT Bluesy submariner 116613LB that I think I can get $10,300 for (two gray dealers offered me $9500 for it) and use that toward buying a brand-new AP Royal Oak Offshore chronograph. My only concern is the bezel of the AP looks like it is the ultimate scratch magnet. What do you guys think? Is the movement in this AP dependable? Who has them and really likes them? I would absolutely have to sell the submariner to help finance the AP. Thanks!!

From Breitling to Rolex and Patek Philippe-5270R Inbound
I must say that George and I have been thru so many deals and this by far is the most satisfying. When the 5270 R was announced I called George and inquired about this announcement. He said I was the first one to call him and he said I could have the first shot at his first one when delivered. Some say first shot and mean unless a better offer comes in but he stuck to his word. This came in last week and I struggled with some trade possibilities. I do not wear my 5070 nor my 59801AR nearly as much as I had thought. Thru the year I looked at several 5970 R but decided to go with the Patek in-house movement and my name on the papers. So I decided to get the only piece which could replace my 5070. I highly recommend George and Govberg Jewelers and you will not regret doing business with that group! Thank you George and Govberg! Wrist shots tomorrow morning! You enablers!

This arrived ....
a couple of days ago from my man DavidSW.Brand new ... Finally found time to size the strap....thanks for the tips on that guys...How sweet it is!

Some advice requested....
Need some input from my PP forum friends.... I have an opportunity to pick-up a mint condition 5065A Aquanaut on a tropical strap. I know this model has been discontinued, as has the 5165A model. I do prefer the 38mm case, as opposed to the 40mm 5176. Any disadvantages to this model? Preferences? Thanks.
