Servicing a RO by an independant watchmaker?
I am consiering a RO but concerned about the relatively expensive servicing if done by AP. I have a local watchmaker service my Rolex over the years and have always been satisfied. Are there many RO owners who have their local watchmaker perform routine servicing?
Is it possible to add an officer's caseback to the Patek 5127g?
Hi everyoneI have an odd question.As many of you know, Patek released an amazingly cool 5227 this year at the Basel featuring the sublime officer's caseback which covers the back of the 5227.Earlier this year I was gifted a 5127 to commemorate a special occasion but looking at the officer's caseback, it would be perfect for light engraving inside.Do you guys think it will be possible to add it to my watch?

16700 vs 16750: Which gets more love?
I've seen some respect for the GMT Master 16750,. It I get the impression that the 16700 gets a bit less attention. Am I wrong? I know that both models have the quickset date and I know that the 16750 has the acrylic crystal / matte dial, while the 16700 has the white gold lined indecies and sapphire crystal. What am I missing? Which is the superior reference in your opinion and why?
