Bumble Bee... need some info
So, I've been following AP for some time now. I have recently looked at the AP ROO Bumble Bee and really like the look. Now, my wrists are a little small at sub 7. So when I went to the AP dealer to try it out, I had to get hornback strap basically to the last hole.... now this caused an issue with the metal deployant to be riding up one side of my wrist. The salesperson said that there is a shorter version of the strap - is this true?Also - what are the pro's and con's of the Bee? Is it really discontinued and is there a replacement soon?I was also thinking of a Panda on bracelet - that looked really nice and the bracelet just wraps my wrist so well.... cheaper too... thoughts on the current Panda 42mm vs the Bee?Looking to buy one and keep for a looong time.And what is there to know about these newer pushers? Are they coming down the 42mm line? I can't pull off the 44mm I don't think. THANKS!

Accident or something normal?
I just read this article about Philippe Dufour, I knew his work is impeccable here is not the problem, the problem is that for comparison they have put pics of movements from high end brands, and the one from Patek is just shameful finishing wise, I understand that not all Patek movements are finished to perfection and that some easily rival Dufour's finishing when it comes down to 500K plus models, but even for the lesser expensive Pateks is it possible that some can be sold like this??? Do you think this is a bad finished movement that passed through QC or is this normal finishing for let's say movements of their least expensive pieces? In any case that's why I never wanted to look at any movements I have owned with a loupe as I would be quite disappointed if I had such a finished movement. Would be interested to hear what you think, thanks in advance Small edition point, forget the other pics, forget Dufour, just look at the Patek movement pic and tell me if you think it is normal f

Wearability Comfort 5167 vs 5164
I have come to love my 5167 and feel it is the most comfortable watch I have ever owned. I was thinking about getting a 5164 and just wondered if it was as comfortable or if the slight increase in size made a difference on comfort wearability.

Oyster Bracelet "stretch" - 5 digit vs 6 digit
There have been several threads which reference whether bracelet stretch will be any less on solid link oysters than hollow link oysters.Does anyone have a 2007 6 digit SS GMT (the first year they were made) and a 2007 5 digit SS Sub that were both worn a lot and which would provide a fair comparison on hollow vs solid.Or if someone can post pictures of a solid link 2007 SS GMT showing any bracelet stretch, I'm sure someone else can post pictures of a hollow link 2007ish SS Sub.

Help adjusting oyster bracelet
Hi everyone,Trying to sort out my best option to resize my YM oyster bracelet. Currently I have the clasp adjustment on the 3rd position and the watch feels good on my wrist. The band is slightly loose, where I can slip one finger under the band. It is very comfortable.With this configuration, the watch usually rides on the outside of my wrist off to the 12' side, not centered and the buckle is centered on the bottom of my wrist.If I center the watch on the top of my wrist, the buckle is offset to the 12' side, by about 1mm.I'd like the watch and bracelet to ride centered on my wrist, which needs a bracelet adjustment.Side view looks longer on the 6' side than 12'. I'm thinking about removing one link on the 6' side. Then I have two choices, (1) add the link to the 12' side and keep the buckle adjustment on the 2nd position, or (2) remove link and move buckle adjustment to the 1st position.The links look to be 1mm and the difference between the 1st and 2nd position is 1/2mm. I'm
