Perrelet Turbine Poker & 007 Limited Edition Watches
These two limited edition Perrelet watches go together right? Sure they do, gambling and 007? I am going to be careful and not mention James Bond. Perrelet doesn't mention James Bond and I don't think they licensed the right to use that IP franchise. Though apparently "007" was OK to use. The imagery they use however when discussing the Turbine 007 watch on the new Turbine micro-site is strongly evocative of the James Bond theme - without outright saying so. The official name by the way of this watch is the Perrelet Turbine 007 License To Play watch.Then there is the Perrelet Turbine Pokerwhich if you have a "license to play," you can. This piece actual comes in three distinct models. The difference of each? The cards displayed under the turbine.? Version 1 (Ref. A4018/1) has random cards and a pair of sevens. Version 2 (Ref. A4018/2) has a pair of sevens and two royal flushes. Version 3 (ref. A4018/3) has a pair of sevens, three kings, three jacks, and a few other random cards. Don't

Is there a panerai alternative?
I was just looking around for a watch which was abit casual, yet still has that it factor (history, quality or awesome design? I have no idea how to describe the it which makes a Pam what it is). I settled on a panerai radiomir, due to its slightly dressier styling than the luminor and slimmer profile. Either a 380, 337 or a 512 are models which I would consider. But I want to mix it up abit and compare other watches in that price range which might be an alternative to the radiomir and I've come up lacking.... A couple of brands which I've looked at: 1. bell & Ross (their square cases seem bulky and the fact that the screws done line up would drive me mad)2. margarette (yes. They are much more affordable and I've owned one before... But it just didn't do much for me). So my question is, have you had a serious alternative before when you were considering getting a panerai? And why?

A Question On Crystal Service Replacements
Hello learned Rolex colleagues,Crystal replacement in a Rolex service is usually a routine procedure. I was wondering if the replacement crystal now has AR coating over the cyclops lens like the modern configuration?Thanks in advance.

dont know if post is getting thru w/pics
Hello everyone- I am delighted to find such an informative forum!I have a dilemma, My husband bought a Rolex watch in 1988 for $8,000. The jewelry store where it was purchased provided an Insurance Appraisal which included a retail value of $15,500. When I went to a very reputable dealer yesterday, the gentleman told me that the appraisal makes no mention of the serial number and the model number had a typo 180388 s/b 18038. Plus upon closer inspection the serial number inside the watch had been scratched off and that I would be unable to sell it. I am absolutely sick over this. The original Jewelry store is still in business (after 35 years in the same town) Does anyone have an opinion on how I can approach this with them? Do you think that they will be interested in making this right? Thank you!
