Real or Not ???
I'm in a client based sales industry and a couple of my co-workers are familiar with my 'hobby' / addiction. As I was sitting at the office today, one of them walks up with a client and says Hey now that's a watch you should check out! pointing to time piece on the other's wrist. The wearer proceeds to proudly stick his wrist in my face and says How much would you pay for this ?? At this point I notice the following,:- 44 novelty gold case with ceramic bezel and ceramic flat pushers- WHITE tapisserie dial similar to the 44 steel BUT with gold finished baton markers ?!?!?- No sapphire see through back- H series case number on the rear at the 6 o'clock position of the case- 10/100 engraved on the rear at the 12 o'clock position- I engaged the chrono a couple of times and it just did not feel rightI have had numerous 44 novelty pieces and currently own the 44Ti (which I do not wear to the office) and while looking familiar there were just too many things about this piece that were VERY

3120 Calibre Rotor Change
Hi Guys,So I've noticed a change in the rotor on the 3120 calibre on the current models. It appears that AP have reduced the amount of material/gold being used by cutting away at the underside. You can make out the profile from the two pictures below. The first picture is the older version and the second picture is the newer version. When I first noticed this 'new' rotor on my watch I was disappointed, since I like the profile and fullness of the old rotor. I know you can't really see it but from all the pictures I saw on the internet and pinterest the images were of the old rotor which just looked nice since its profile followed that of the movement beneath (3rd pic). So prices go up and they use less gold to save more, which is the only reason I can see. Would there be any other benefit for the new style of rotor? Less resistance? Anyway, it's just an observation I noticed and I didn't find any info on the forum or internet so thought I'd see if any of you guys had noticed.RegardsM.

AD's in New York/New Jersey & ROO Diver
I have been a collector of Rolex watches for the last few years and have just begun looking at APs to add to my collection. I live in New York City and would like to find someone local if I could. I know AP has the boutique on 57th street but in my experience the boutique prices are not competitive at all (please correct me if I'm wrong). I also know of Tourneau but their prices are also not as competitive in my experience. I have a great AD for Rolex's out in NJ who gets me competitive prices and keeps me updated on new models coming in. I am looking for the same type of person for my AP purchase. If anyone has any recommendations it would be greatly appreciated. The first watch I am looking to get is the ROO diver. I have been quietly scanning the pages of this forum and this watch really sticks out as my next purchase. If anyone can also provide some insight as to what a fair discount % that I can expect off MSRP that would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

5196g and 5146g or 3940g?
I already own a 5146g and was considering trading for the 5396g but after tryingit on this week Ive decided the 5146 is more me, I prefer dials to windows. However while I was trying on the 5396 I also tried the 5140 and 5196 (which I have had previously). The 5140 is a fantastic watch but it is cluttered and the 5/27 was off putting, I'm yet to try the 3940 but the dial looks cleaner and it is only 1mm smaller.So my option now is to keep the 5146 and add the 5196, which I think is a good combo or trade in the 5146 for a 3940. What do you guys think?
