Orient Producer Review
It's always fun when a watch takes you by surprise. You know, when you've seen something in pictures, but it didn't really click with you, then you see it in person and you get it. In the metal, as they say, the watch makes sense. Perhaps the detailing is better than expected, perhaps the size and weight just work for you, perhaps it has a subtle charm that can only be found when it's on your wrist. This was the case for me and the Orient Producer.Immediately, since it's an Orient I know it's going to be a great value and decently made, especially at the price for a mechanical. But, the look isn't really one that I find inherently appealing. I'm not huge on rectangular watches (though the Orient Masquerade I had was very cool) or open-heart dials. While the design was fine, a handsome dress watch with hints of Art Deco, it just didn't call out to me.

It's been a while!
I reacquainted myself with an old friend today, my F series ROO Safari. I do really like this watch, but I find it very hard to choose it ahead of my Rolex selection.

Question about Straps for 15202
Hi all,Been getting a bit crazy with APs lately and wanted to know if there are any strap options for the 15202... I tried calling AP about it but it doesnt look like there are plots for the watch... Im willing to put on the plots from the 15300 or 15400 if they fit but those might only be in WG or Plat... expensive option but will consider it.The other option is go to AP bands as they have a conversion kit for 15400s, 15300s and 15202s... has anyone had experience with these?If I do get the plots from AP bands as it might be my only option, would you know any AP OEM straps that fit? Such as straps from he 15300? Thanks a lot guys, any help is appreciated.Best,Brian

5713 running 4 to 5 seconds fast per day
I've had my 5712 nearly a year. Over the past couple of weeks I've monitored accuracy of the timepiece. It seems like it's running 4 to 5 seconds fast per day. As I go into my last year of Factory Warranty, should I consider getting this corrected before warranty is expired? Thanks
