15202 ST vs 15400 OR
Long time lurker, first time poster.I am stuck in a enviable dilemma - I was offered the opportunity to buy a 15202 ST brand new from an AD, which I have been eyeing for years. However, I recently tried on a black dialed 15400OR on strap and also fell in love with it (a 99% second hand one). The 15400OR is a bit cheaper than the 15202 as well given that it's 2nd hand vs. brand new. My collection consists of a Jarno Trulli ROO, a 26320ST and a Rolex Sub. The JT and Sub are my daily wearers (I alternate days with both), whereas I rarely wear the 26320 as I find it a bit heavy and cumbersome for my 6.75 wrist. The 26320ST will be sold off once I pick either of these two. I really want to add a PM watch to my collection - but I feel that the 15400OR could be a bit too flashy for my lifestyle. On the other hand, while I like the bracelet of the 15202 very much, it is perhaps a bit too delicate for my lifestyle - and also partially killed my enjoyment of the 26320ST.Any help would be appreci

Gave in Speedy Pro Moon for an Omega Boutique service
Hi, after much thought, I finally gave my slow running Omega Speedy Pro Moonphase to the Omega Boutique here in Sydney some weeks ago with clear instructions that no polishing was to be done. Mentioned a ultrasonic clean and a full movement only service was to be carried out, all in writing. Also itseems the crown and pushers are always replaced irrespective of condition(not sure why) but I get to keep the old ones. Can't wait to see the result, will keep you'll posted.

Can't get the 5980 off my mind
I have a 5726 white dial which I like very much. Stopped by my local AD today and beheld a 5980/1AR-001. I have always though of two tones as ok, not a lover or hater. I find this watch in the flesh to be such a stunner, can't stop thinking about it. I haven't seen the piece in solid Rose it may be great too.Saw the 5990 and while it is a great piece I was as wowed at first viewing as I was with the 5726. Time may cause a change here, it was great. As the 5980 two tone looks entirely different in the flesh from the pictures, in fact, Patek's pics are so poor they might even be better not to post them.Those of you who have seen this reference could you share your thoughts.

What's the safest way to ship a watch internationally?
Have a few watches for sale and tons of international interest, however, I don't have an EIN - I believe Parcel Pro requires this... To safely ship and insure a watch internationally, is there another way to go about this?TIA for any advice!
