Need Help from the AP Experts!
Hi all I am looking to purchase a 15400 silver dial. I will be buying a pre owned version. I have come across a 2013 model that is an H series. I recall reading on this forum (and I apologize I haven't been able to find it) the an earlier model (perhaps H.) had trouble with the clasp screws coming loose. I believe AP fixes/replaces the clasp at service but not sure?So is the H series the model with the troubled clasp. Should I wait until a new I or J series becomes available. I am not in a huge rush. Really appreciate your thoughts.Thanks all.

Hello,First real post here, hope to get some advice on my next watch...I purchased a Offshore Diver about 6 months ago and I really love the watch. I wear it on a Safari Hornback strap and have ordered a Bracelet for it, however I have gotten a little bored and feel like buying another.I have been looking at the 15400 and really like it as well, but feel like I should try another brand of watch. At this time, the Diver is my only watch.The watches that I have been looking at are as follow:Rolex Two Tone GMT Master II (YG/SS)Rolex Two Tone Submariner (YG/SS)JLC Vintage Deep Sea ChronographPanerai 441And of course the RO 15400I have been back and forth on this decision and can't seem to decide as I find I like different aspects of each. However, nothing seems perfect to me.All these watch are roughly in the same price range after discounts; give or take 1K USD, with the JLC being the cheapest.Also, I doubt I could justify the Panerai as I think it costs too much for what it is. I jus

ID Vintage Ladies Omega Model Please
One our wedding day, my wife inherited an 18K white gold Omega owned by her deceased mother. The watch had been kept locked in a safe for more than 12 years. The safe was installed in the floor of the house, and after it was opened, it was discovered that the safe had been flooded some time in the previous 12 years. The watch was taken to a local watchmaker, who was able to clean it up, install a vintage Omega movement, and acrylic crystal. He stated that he had the movement and parts on hand because some people are selling the watches to his partner the jeweler, for gold content, and he is able to save the movements, crystals etc. He also stated that although the movement differed slightly from original, it fit perfectly. The Omega logo, as well as any other markings on the dial were lost. We are happy to have the watch not only looking good, but also working again.Does anyone have any idea as to the model name or number and a possible date of manufacture. The back and bracele

Trying to buy a 5170 -- what am I doing wrong?
I'm in the market for a new 5170G-010, the white gold / black dial version with Breguet numerals that Patek stopped making last year. Even though discontinued, they seem to be abundantly in stock at both ADs and grey market dealers.I'd prefer to go the AD route, but it seems none in the US or Europe are willing to discuss much of a discount (a couple thousand dollars off at most). For a $81,000 MSRP slow-selling watch, I'm surprised I cannot get better traction anywhere. The grey market dealers are selling for ~25% off.Maybe the problem is that I'm not an existing customer? In my ideal scenario, I'd locate a watch in Europe, negotiate a 20-30% discount and then benefit from the VAT refund when having the watch shipped to the U.S.Can anyone provide any feedback or advice? Maybe my expectations for AD discounts are simply unrealistic and I should go grey market?
