Any members own the AP 26574ST ?
Haven't come across many wrist shots of this RO QC ! Any members own this beautiful watch in Steel? Would love to get some feed back ! Thinking of picking one up! Went to try one on at the Boutique and just fell in lust with this watch!

Crown locking screw popped off
So I have a breitling Evolution, and I looked down at my wrist and noticed that the middle crown screw is gone :( I have had the breitling evolution MOP face for about 8 years now and Im sure it's due for a service, I just emailed breitling and going to call them tomorrow for a quote... have any of you sent your watch directly into breitling to have them overhaul it? how long does it take? and if not there do you have any other recommendations on how to fix it ?

Crossing the busy plaza, watch stolen of wrist...
Hey guys,Imagine these three scenarios;A. You're strolling across one of the busy plazas in Rome with your girl in one arm and the watch on the other..B. You're walking back to the hotel in downtown Bangkok after a good night out..C. You've been traveling around Kenya and now exploring Nairobi.....when suddenly your watch is stolen off your wrist. Basically, it could happen anywhere.Either way, which of these watches (/or brands) do you think is more likely to be recognised and stolen off your wrist? Rolex (GMT/SUB) or Patek (nautilus/aquanaut)?

Big dilemma...
As some of you may already know me, I have a 7 piece collection, 3 Pams, 1 Blancpain, 3 Rolex, and my latest piece the PP 5712, oops sorry that makes 8.Anyways I am also realizing the fact, as another distinguished member here, that fewer is better, so basically I am skimming down my collection to 2 or 3 pieces, of course my 5712, Rolex sub LV that I should get soon, and for the 3rd piece am hesitating, either keep my Daytona 116515 in RG, it's a beautiful watch but for me to put on very limited occasions, the lack of date is a serious hassle for me, or get an aquanaut, love the RG but can't afford it before a very long time having just gotten the 5712, well in fact after flipping all my watches sure I could afford it, but having already 1 watch worth 27.000 euros is something I never thought would happen so having 2 would be quite a shock, so let's say the 5167 SS, in any case I wouldn't buy the PP before quite a long period as I don't want to buy something which I don't really want a

Vintage Patek - Dial Patina - Restoration Question
Here is my Vintage Patek ref #2532. 2012-07-13 12.02.41.jpg2012-07-13 12.05.41.jpgI offered it as a trade in towards a ref# 5035 but they only offered me $4,500 so I decided to keep it.I am thinking of having it restored. As you can see, after 60 yrs, the bezel has corroded and needs replacement. BUT my real question is the dial.As you can see, the dial has oxidized and assumed a tan or brown patina. Other 2532s I have seen have white dials.Do you think the dial was once white but has oxidized? Will replacing the dial make it less valuable? Am I nuts for investing the money?I am actually a Rolex man, but the more I wear this watch, the more I like it.THANKS in advance.
