Patek Philippe Calatrava Travel Time Platinum Ref. 5134P Watch Available On JamesList
Here is a rare and unique looking Patek Philippe watch from a time that feels so long ago - when the economy was optimistic and the future seemed so bright, back in 2003. That was when this Calatrava Travel Time Platinum Ref. 5134P was originally released. Still shaken from the dot com bubble boom, no doubt a few people of the era picked up one of the nice watch. Even the looks of the watch is almost Patek Philippe's way of being optimistically futuristic. I think I'll start calling this watch the Time Travel, instead of Travel Time.As the name implies, this 37mm wide watch case is constructed out of Platinum with a very thin in-house made manually wound Patek Philippe movement with some interesting complications. Still the watch is only 9.8mm thick. Complications aside from the time include a synchronized 24 hour hand (basically to tell you whether it is day or night and to help you figure out the time in those place that use military time on the 24 hour scale), and a second timezone.

down to two, now which one
Picking up my first AP here hopefully this week, have it down to these two.The 15400 silver or the Royal Oak Chrono silver.Def getting a silver face, but which to do? Can't decide.

AP Clearwater contact email?
There's a ROO/ Diver bracelet I am interested in, but want to get the pre-owned item authenticated prior to purchase.The AP Boutique has said that they do not authenticate parts.Anyone know if AP Clearwater would be able to do the authentication?If so, does anyone have the contact email/ best phone number and person with whom to speak?Thanks in advance!

Extract of the Archives...and a speedy MKII
I picked up a MKII a few weeks back, it was in great shape and I got it for an even better price. Service history was unknown, but seller agreed that if it wasn't authentic I could return it for a full refund. Long story short, I sent it off to Nesbit's for a full service and authentication. Good news it was all Omega.I also wanted to pick up an extract on it from Omega and was ready to have a friend from Germany get it for me since the Omege site says they don't ship them to the US. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find out they will ship stateside, but only to a residential address. If you are interested in an extract you just need to e-mail their customer service. Added bonus, they are great to work with! So now I'm curious to see if this mkII is an original racing dial or a redial. I'll get some more photos up after I get her back from Nesbit's, and let you all know the outcome of the extract once I get it in.Obligatory wrist shot

This Rolex form rocks!
I love my deep blue deep-sea other than the fit was not quite as comfortable as say my yacht Master two. I never realized you could take off the diving extension. I read over the weekend some people on here did just that.Took it in to have that removed just a little bit ago now this watch is much more comfortable and fits perfectly makes me like it even more. What a great community for all of us to bounce ideas ,opinions,And questions off of. Cheers everyone!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
