Help 26320st white vs 26331st panda
26320 for around 18.5k new. 26331 for around 22k new. Will the 26331 depreciate down to 17k used like the 26320? Should I wait til the hype dies down? I like the panda look but I like all 3 sundials same size and date window position on original...Hard call.

AP Royal Oak Offshore Diver Crown Question
I am 90% sure the next watch I will get will be the AP Royal Oak Diver 15703ST I just have one worry, the rubber clad crown and bezel adjuster crown. How sturd are they? Has anyone ever had any issues? I know the properties of rubber and am concerned about it getting brittle and cracking Like wise there is a rubber layer in between the case and the bezel!I'm sure AP have tested it and ironed out any potential flaws but it a real niggle in my mind!Any assistance would be greatly received

Which modern Omega Speedmaster is most true to the original moonwatch?
Hi all,First time poster and a first time buyer checking in! I have been eyeing the Speedmaster for a good year or so but have found myself overwhelmed with all the limited editions, the different movements, the different types of glass used, some automatic, some manual wind and so on.A big reason as to why I really have fallen in love with this watch, in addition to its beauty, is its historical significance. Therefore, I am looking to buy a model that is most similar to the one that was on the actual moon landing.So far, I have come to understand that I am looking for a Speedmaster that has a manual wind movement and hesalite glass but I am not entirely sure what reference number or what makes a movement better than another. I am also not sure whether to buy second and or new from an AD.I would greatly appreciate tips and recommendations from the more experienced and that is why I have registered myself here. All tips welcome!Thanks,DC

Boston area service recommendation?
Hi all-I'm approaching the process of sending my watch in for service. It's a 1988 168000 that I bought new and likely will send it off to Rolex as I have in the past. I was considering having them replace the bezel insert as there is missing paint on the top of the triangle near the pearl from some kind of 'encounter' over the years. It's not that big of a deal, but since I'm going to the trouble and expense it would be nice to have the watch looking it's best for the next 30 years.After spending some time here and learning a great deal, I've concluded that maybe it's best to replace the insert prior to sending it off as I'm told that Rolex doesn't return the original parts and I'd like to keep the original insert.I've been poking around and while I haven't found one yet, expect that at some point I may be able to find a period correct replacement. I think I understand the differences in the number font, i.e.- old to new style, especially in the '4' shape, so will keep an eye on that.

Checking your movement��s health
If you obsess about accuracy, this is probably as bad as buying a loupe for those who obsess about Rolex dial lume plots or whatever. For the rest, $200 for a timegrapher and a demagnetizer was the best watch money I've spent in a long time. Saved a trip to the spa for my Lange and improved accuracy by 10s/day. Here's a shot testing my Daytona...
