Debating on AP
So here is the deal I have recently been looking into the Royal Oak Offshore collection specifically the volcano and safari theme. One of the trusted sellers who I have worked with in the past has a used G serial Volcano on the forum in the 14ish range. I was contemplating trading my subc a little over a year old and my Polar explorer 2 42mm towards it. Doing the math I would probably have to kick in around 2kish dollars (plus or minus a little).Was wondering what you guys on the AP forum would do. Trade 2 for 1? The Volcano would be my only watch so i would probably have to purchase a G-shock or something for when I'm working and the Volcano would be the home/weekend watch.thanks for any advice and I appreciate it

Brand new Patek 5980/1AR that was not winding.
Being actively on this forum, I have realised an alarming number of quality control issues with Patek.Two days ago as I was in Frankfurt, I went to visit my friend that works at a watch store (Bucherer).I saw for the first time the 5980/1AR - two tone. A beautiful shade of blue, and a stunning watch.I tried to wind it, and it would not work. My friend was quite embarrassed at having a piece in the store of that category in that price range that had such an issue.They got in the guy that had the expertise with PP, and he said we need to send it back to get it checked.As much as I love the brand, appreciate their history, and also own a 5711, I can't help but feel because of these things that have been happening much more often than in the past, that I am being forced to look else where when I am going to purchase my first complicated dress watch.I know it doesn't happen often, but I feel like it is being more frequent than in the past.I didnt make this thread in means to disrespect the

So it finally happened!
So I'm sure some of you have seem some posts or questions from me over the past few months or weeks about wanting the full on Rolex experience... going to NYC buying from a big AD and all.Well after making a few calls and checking stock around the city and getting feed back from some of you, I said screw it and made some calls to smaller local dealers and today at lunch I found a sub!So I skipped out of work a bit early and headed over and I am now a proud sub owner I have wanted a sub since I was 15 and now I can finally say I own one.I do have one question though, by the time I got home I realized I did not get the green warranty paper, I do have the card... do they still come with the paper that you sign or is that a older thing that doesn't get used any longer?Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
