AP RO 15400ST + Rolex Daytona 116500LN for Patek 5712?
Would you guys trade an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Silver Dial PLUS a Rolex Daytona 116500LN Ceramic Black Dial for a Patek Philippe 5712 Blue Dial or a Rolex Sky Dweller 326939 White Gold Ivory Dial?Please give me your opinions. Thanks a lot!

Which ROO would you choose?
Dear fellow users,I am thinking of adding a ROO to my collection. I would like to buy one with metal bracelet. I narrowed down my choices to 2 models:1) old model 26170 with Panda dial - this comes by default with metal bracelet2) actual model 26470 with black/red dial - this comes with black-red leather strap but a metal bracelet is available as extraI like very much the Panda dial, maybe it pops out a little more than the more subtle black/red. However, the new model has some new features that make me think about it: ceramic pushers, see-through case back, some small changes on the case design and slightly crisper details on the dial.I am curious what you are thinking. Do the updates on the new model compensate for the slightly less attractive dial?(photos were taken from the web)Thank you!

Definitive Omega mesh measurements
I am frequently asked Will the Omega mesh fit my _____ inch/cm wrist? Will I need an extension?So here's the scoop on the Omega mesh:Total bracelet length is 15.0cm in the outermost micro adjustment.The innermost micro adjustment will reduce the length by 1.5cm. (There are five adjustment positions.)Each extension will add 2.0cm to the length.Needless to say, you will need to add the lug to lug length of your individual watch head. These measurements are bracelet only.Hope this helps.Fr. John?

First Panerai: PAM183 or 609, p.5000 calibre
I am looking to buy my first Panerai and have narrowed it down to two options: PAM183 vs PAM609I'm based in HK (anyone got any recommendations for HK dealers AD and grey market?) and the prices of the two are pretty identical - I really like the look of the 183 with the cleaner, sandwich dial (I am not a fan of the 609's sausage dial) but feel like the in-house movement of the 609 makes it much more worth it for the amount of money. The power reserve of 8 days of the in-house P5000 vs the 56 hours in the ETA based Unitas movement is also a HUGE difference. I went into a Panerai boutique here and they quoted 3-5k HKD (approx. 390-645 USD) for servicing the p5000 calibre...and i've also heard of reliability/accuracy issues on this calibre, anyone can confirm? Also, How much does/did it cost to service the Panerai OP XI calibre (based off the ETA6497) and would that presumably cheaper cost justify purchasing the 183 over the 609? Does the 8 day power reserve and in-house movement trump th

Here we go.. 116610LVc has broke the US $ 11,000 point on resale
Mines 7+ years old and I thought 8000 was ridiculous. It's a great looking watch though and I glad I have it and will never sell it. It's just unbelievable how it's shot up. It's tied for top spot with 116619 that I should wear more. It can't see paying 11k for it and I just can't wrap my head around it. No way it sells for that
