Patek's platinum case finishing
Hello Everyone,i was wondering did anyone also noticed that the polishing finishing on the platinum cases are different then the gold versions ? Especially on some of the cases with sharper lines/angels like the 5070 and 5975 cases.Here you see a big difference on the WG and PT versions of the 5070. The PT even looks like a polished used case compared to the WG. You can notice this on every picture of the 5070P comparing with the gold versions.And here a comparison of the 5975P with the 5975G also less sharp polished.But if you compare it with Rolex Platinum versions, for example the Platinum Daytona compared with the WG version. The PT Daytona even looks to be beter finished then the gold versions.Maybe this has something to do with the hand finishing of the cases at Patek ? Because platinum is very hard to work with. But for a brand like Patek and the money you spent on the PT versions, you would think of a better finishing if the cases ?Still love the brand and most of the time the

Service costs?
Hi folks...I recall paying $495 to have my 111 serviced (took it to a local AD to send to Panerai).Can anyone tell me what the going rate is to service a 312 these days? Cheers & thanks.

Interesting how the 116719 has the old 3186 movement.
Just been admiring the White Gold Pepsi with a Blue dial and saw that it still had the 3186 movements fitted. Are we to take from that that they have used existing cases and supplemented them with the addition of a blue dial and are using up the older movement as this will fit with no messing around with the case?Obviously, the 116710LN, 116710BLNR and the 116713 and 116718 are all remaining with the 3186 movements too......... but for how long?

Submariner collection
The Submariner is by far my favourite Rolex model, not to mention my first. Bought my 16610 in 1999, and it's been down hill ever since. Here is a group pic of my current Submariner collection:017 by [url=https://.flickr/photos/150333170N07/]018 by [url=https://.flickr/photos/150333170N07/]019 by [url=https://.flickr/photos/150333170N07/]020 by [url=https://.flickr/photos/150333170N07/]Snuck in my Fifty Fathoms for a divers group pic.... 025 by [url=https://.flickr/photos/150333170N07/]
