Any golf fans here??
So being a WIS and an avid golfer, I always enjoy seeing the different players and their watches on both the PGA/Euro tours. Recently I was watching coverage of one of the PGA tour events where Sir Nick Faldo was commentating. To my surprise however, Sir Nick was NOT wearing and AP! I tried hard to look closer and it appeared to be a blacked out Blancpain Fifty Fathoms (Dark Knight perhaps?) but I can't be sure. So I looked on AP's website and Sir Nick is not listed on there anymore as an ambassador! Anybody know the scoop here??

Barclays this week
I was over at the Barclays this week watching the PGA. Audemars Piguet was the sponsor. These stand-ups were all over the place. Wanted to share with TRF. Enjoy.

This or That - Playing Field Leveled
So I had a chance to stop by the NYC AP Boutique...yet again. And the lovely people there had both a new 15400 and a new 15300 (with the updated clasp and bracelet). So for me it's now all about which size is best for me. I don't really have much of an opinion about dial design but I do think that if I went for a 15300 I'd look for a white dial with the updated clasp/bracelet as it makes the watch look a little bigger (Mike's continuous barrage of pics also helps)Here are the pics. I hate you all for pushing me into the awesome and expensive world of Audemars Piguet.

Omega Seamaster 2225.80 next ?
I can't wait to buy my next Omega and looking seriously at the Seamaster 2225.80. Calgary Jewerelly might be getting an email soon. Does anybody own one of these and how do you like it ?

Question about switching from deployant / deployment clasp to tang buckle
I have persevered with the deployant / deployment clasp on my 5140G for a month or so, have had an extra hole put in the strap by PP and have even had PP reverse the strap for me, which has been touted on here as a solution to uncomfortable depolyants. But I have now decided that I and the deployant are never going to be friends, and that the time has come for a change. Someone has generously gifted me a genuine PP WG tang buckle, so I now need to sort out a strap. I think that at the PP Salon they told me, but only in passing, that one can't simply put a tang buckle on a deployant strap. But maybe that is just something they do not do as a matter of principle, or maybe it requires some work done on the strap which they do not undertake. Hence my main question: has anyone managed to recycle a PP deployant strap for use with a tang buckle ?As a further question, how much should I expect to pay at the PP Salon for a real Alligator with large rectangular scales in glossy black strap
