Traveling for a Nautilus
I'll be traveling to Curacao and Singapore in September, and wanted to see if there are any Patek ADs that any TRF members would recommend in either of these locations. Also, could I expect to find any pricing advantages as compared to the US ADs? Thank you!

Are we ever going to see a SS with OF?
Hey Guys,Wondering if we ever going to see a Stainless Steel Professional watch with OysterFlex? Very unlikely in the upcoming Basel worlds but I think the Diver lineup would look great with OF, or at least the possibility of the option on getting one from AD like the Aquanaut, AP Diver, etc..

First for me: Rolex stopped running...
In 30 years of wearing Rolex, I have never had one stop running. Some of you that know me, know that I have bought many project watches over the years and done restorations. Some were real beat up but still ran. My first Sub I wore daily and it was pretty thrashed but still kept good time over 12 years without a service. The bezel was bent, the crown broke, but she still kept good time.Reached into the winder this morning to grab my 16750 Polar which is a U serial from 1996/97 ish. She was not running. Reset time and date, gave a full wind, couple taps and shakes and nothing. She is toast. We had guessed that this watch had never been serviced, and she ran a little fast but still ran. Not complaining at all. I believe this watch ran for 20 continuous years without a service. Really a tribute to how well Rolex is made. Guess it is time for a complete service. Next time I go to the city I will drop it off to my buddy who is a CW21 and my go to WS.
