Audemars Piguet Bumblebee Strap
Hi guys! First of all pardon me for being a noob regarding this thread.I have been looking for a yellow colored rubber strap for my bumblebee, and I have no luck in finding one.Was told by Audemars piguet Singapore service centre that they do not carry yellow rubber straps for offshore.Could anyone advise me on how to lay my hands on an aftermarket one? I would really love to have a small sized yellow rubber strap that fits onto my OEM deployment clasp. Guess it would look awesome with my bumblebee.

Hesalite or Sapphire?
HelloI would like to hear some different views on the above please.I'm interested in buying a Speedmaster Professional Moon watch. I know they come in two different versions, one with a Hesalite crystal and one with a Sapphire crystal. I'm told that the Hesalite is easier to scratch, but in the real world, how much is it easier to scratch?I have an older meteorite dial version of the watch and I find it very comfortable and accurate. My wife has a Silver Snoopy version and loves that as well. I think they both have Sapphire crystals.Can I just have some of your views about the two different versions please? Is one recommended over the other etc?Also, what sort of discount could I aim for in the UK?Thanks very much.

Audemars Piguet/Patek Philippe

Jumping hour hand on 3186 Exp. II "loose"
I've noticed recently that there seems to be a decent amount of slack in the jumping hour hand, as though it's loosened up or something. I first saw it when it was about 10:45 one night but the 12 hour hand was still directly on the 10 marker. I had a full service a little under two years ago at the Chicago authorized service center, which is why I'm a little annoyed that this is happening. The watch had run perfectly for seven years, died one day (prompting the service) and since then has run a bit fast (used to be just about spot on) and now this.I seem to recall only a year warranty on work, but I'm wondering if anyone with experience there can say whether they will in fact stand behind work longer than that? Otherwise, I would hesitate to go back there, since they didn't seem to do a particularly good job.If I do need to go elsewhere, which location should I send to? There's New York, Beverly Hills and Dallas, right? Not sure whether it matters. Also not sure whether I'm better off
