Negatives to ap (15300)?
Hi everyone. I have been a rolex guy for the past five years or so but have been thinking about making a move to ap and pp. I'm thinking ap first then make my way to a pp complication. I have done a lot of reading on the ro 15300 and I have read mostly nothing but good things. What I would like from all of you is to hear the negatives of ap and specifically the 15300. I know some have visited the service center sooner than owners would like, anything else? I just want to be aware of everything before I make the plunge! Thanks to all

It's here and my fears were unfounded
Yes, my Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial arrived this afternoon and I could not be more pleased. (Pictures later so for now, you will have to take my word that I have it on my wrist.)As some of you know, my first reservation about this model was the thickness of the case and how it would wear on my round wrist. I had to remove 3 and a half links but the fit is perfect - very comfortable. But I can tell that the ratcheting clasp will be a blessing on humid days. The 41mm case is the perfect size for a vintage look.Now what about the PCLs? I know that fingerprints and scratches will probably drive me crazy but Omega did a good job recreating the look of the original 300 bracelet. The watch is supposed to look like the original and it does. I can live with the PCLs, at least for now.I've owned the 2500 LM PO LE (a beautiful watch without a doubt) and an 8500 PO that wore like a hockey puck on my wrist. In my current stable, I have my second modded 2254.50 but I suspect it will soon be findin

Universal Geneve chronograph using Speedmaster bezel?
.hodinkee/blog/found-t...ax-chronographIn this article on hodinkee, they discuss a vintage 1960s Universal Geneve chronograph. What caught my eye in the article's pictures was the bezel, which to me looks exactly like the Speedmaster 'dot over 90' bezel from Cal 321 and transitional 861.Was there any sort of parts-sharing being done between Universal Geneve and Omega in the mid- to late-60s or do my eyes deceive me?

Nautilus Braclet to Strap
Chaps, I am trying to find out the exact route to change a bracelet 5726 to a strap version.My understanding is that the end-links are different on the 5726 strap vs the 5726 bracelet; therefore, the Patek strap won't fit.Does anyone know the route to made this modification and can anyone give me a list of suppliers for a quality strap.My assumption is that someone will be making an after-market strap that fits the end links on the 5726 bracelet and therefore, all you'd need to do is purchase a deployant from Patek. Any and all advice welcome! TIA
