Mystery Dial on an AP Royal Oak Jumbo 14802
Hi All,I've recently bought an AP RO Jumbo reference 14802ST. This is the rare Jubilee limited edition (1000 pieces) that was made in the early 90's.This particular watch is number 662/1000 (marked on the rotor). The serial on the case is D-12576. I picked this up in Zurich from the owner but no papers. He claimed he was the original owner and remembered nothing about replacing the dial. He says its been sitting in a drawer for 10+ years and that he's rarely worn it because it has become too small for his wrist now. Judging from the crispness of he watch case and bracelet, it indeed hadn't been worn much.The mystery is the dial. Its not the common configuration one would see on this reference.The dial matches what I've seen on other Jubilee references perfectly (color, font, etc.) except for the AP logo at 6 and indices at 12.At first I thought it was either an older series dial, a newer dial, or a service dial but the upon close inspection it doesn't fall into either category.

PAM233 Incoming!
So I've been looking at a bunch of different brands and watches, trying to find something I'd enjoy wearing. Looked at Rolex, JLC, IWC, and Panerai. There are a couple threads with some of the watches I looked at and I appreciate all the feedback I got. The second I put this one on my wrist, I knew it was it. I've always admired the 233 in person and in pics. It's a heck of a watch. Here she is:Quick and dirty pic for now. I hope to eventually post many more pics of this beauty. Love it!Cheers

Explorer II Polar discount?
I made a stop at an AD and was looking at an Explorer II Polar watch. I had never been at the store before. Without asking, I was offered a 12% discount. Is this a common discount for Explorer II's?
