My first AP and tour of the AP Service Center
First off I would like to thank all of you enabler's here at TRF. I really love my Rolexes but reading the posts about APs fine timepieces really got me interested. That combined with great trusted seller's here I found one at a price I could not resist. 23% off retail with full factory warranty. So I bought the piece from addy616 a trusted seller here. As I posted in the Who's Who forum it was an absolutely outstanding buying experience. I needed to get it sized so he suggested since I live in Tampa to swing by the Clearwater service center. It's the only one in the northern hemisphere and they take in all new watches from Switzerland to inspect before they go to the AD's to be sold retail as well as do routine service and repairs for all the APs in North and South America. So I called them and set an appointment and the rest is just amazing. From the moment I arrived they treated me like royalty. Coffee, water and a personal inspection of my new AP. They sized it for me pres

Incoming...We Have A Winner
Thanks for all who offered their thoughts and suggestions for the appropriate Calatrava. And a special thanks to LawrenceB for having the right watch at the right time for the right price:Forgive the schmarttfone pics but you get the idea! 6 hours on the wrist and I'm still loving it (duh!)

PAM270 opinions?
Ok this is where I'm at, I recently traded in my pam359 towards my AP (wasn't in love with the full number dial so wasn't heartbroken) but I am missing having a Pam and with the new acquisition of a day-date has rendered my TT datejust a bit obsolete. (116233 with diamond jubilee dial 2006 no box or papers)Now I've been offered a trade on a beautiful Pam270 complete set Opinions on weather it's worth the swap? I think $wise the Pam may be worth a little more but over time may not hold its value like the Rolex will (which I will just sell anyway at some point Thoughts????

President bracelet 1.25 link
Replaced a link in my day-date bracelet with a 1.25 link. Needed it just a little more loose. Thought I would share a couple pics..... I had never seen one before. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1336758343.193943.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1336758370.315337.jpg

EXPII or DJII (white)
I'm looking to buy a one and only Rolex. I'm not the type to switch out watches or have a rotation. I wear one watch and wear it 24/7. It never comes off no matter the activity. Like the title says im looking at the Polar 216570 or the white dial 116300. Date is the most important which they both have, GMT function is nice but not a deal breaker. I have a 7 wrist. In the past I have had a black expii, GMTii, and currently a SD4k. But none of them have been THE watch for me and have all ended up being flipped. The SD4k will also be flipped for this next watch that I hope to keep forever . Any insight would be great. Thanks
