Velcro Strap for Speedmaster Pro
Hi guys, So I just picked up a Speedmaster Professional and it should be here tomorrow. I bought the updated version that comes with the two additional straps. I was just curious how many people actually use the velcro strap? Might sound silly but when I was younger my first watch had a similar velcro strap, so Im kind of excited to use it. Just wanted to see what peoples thoughts are on the velcro strap and see if anyone has any pics.... cheers

Vintage Patek Philippe Pocket Watch
Greetings! I have never ventured into the Patek world, but clearly appreciate those timepieces which are outside of my price range. Without going into the details, this family heirloom was passed on to me over the weekend.

Any suggestions you have about servicing?Also, something I found neat about the monogram, it is not engraved/etched into the piece, it is

White Milgauss, Thoughts
Well I've been seriously thinking of buying a white milgauss to go with my sub. I know it's discontinued now and I'm seeing a few decent prices on new from grey dealers, still 1500. over used.

Trade 114060 toward 116610LV?
A few months ago I passed on the most recent Hulk I was offered by an AD. I think it's haunting me now. ... Am I crazy for considering trading my Sub 114060 toward the next one that comes in?
