AP Boutique Paris - closed?
Am I going blind or AP closed their boutique in Paris. It's still listed on their website and everywhere else at 380 st.

Best 3rd party deployant clasps and straps?
So I'm interested in swapping the OEM buckle strap to deployant, but not really interested in paying $400 for the deployant itself, plus another $200 for an OEM strap. Does anyone have any 3rd party recommendations for both? Thanks.

449 hand color question
I'm looking at Radiomir 449 SE's and see some with the blue hands and others with gold (?) - not blue anyway.Is the difference model years or what? - seems I knew this at one time but can't recall.Thanks for your help!

RSC Dallas or Independent?
On the fence here. Need to send my U serial 16570 Polar in for a service. Generally will not do polish/refinish, just the movement. My guy who I have used before and trust quoted me $575 for the movement overhaul and 2 year warranty. He is only 120 miles from me, so I can drop off and pick up which saves the cost and hassle of shipping.In the past this would be a no brainer, but the forum has me guessing a little as so many seem to support using RSC.Watch is really only worth $3-4K so once this is done I will have much more into her than she is worth.Curious as to what others might chose.
