AP ROO stainless steel bracelet link count....HELP !
I have a ROO Panda and Diver and thanks to the pics I've seen here am about to purchase the AP stainless steel bracelet for the diver. I have a line on a pre-owned one but its missing some links. So.....HOW MANY LINKS COME IN A NEW FACTORY OEM ROO BRACELET ? I'm just counting the links on both sides not the AP branded clasp. Can someone who has the bracelet tell me how many links it came with ? I'm concerned because although the deal is a decent one (bracelet does have to be polished) if its missing too many links and I have to source them, the cost of additional links may not make the deal worthwhile. TIA

Keep or Return?
So I picked up a Breitling for Bentley 6.75 (A4436212) and noticed some weird marks on the bezel slide rule. They almost appear to be water rings, or maybe a flaw under the finish that is making its way to the surface? Anyone seen anything like this before? My gut tells me that water (or moist air) got in. The seller is the original owner and has assured me that the watch has never seen water as he's had the crocodile strap on it since day one. However, it's a Florida watch and if the watch wasn't entirely waterproof, I could understand how humid air could wreak havoc. The seller has agreed to a return for a full refund. I have the watch boxed up to go back, but I'm wondering how difficult it would be to have corrected. The seller has offered $250 to repair the watch. I don't think that's enough for the repair, but I think I got a good deal on the purchase.More trouble than it's worth? I can't seem to find the bronze dial/croc strap combo very often which is exactly what I was looking

Best way to trade a Patek for a Patek?
Hello everyone. I'm not a collector and only have two watches - a 39mm Exp 1 and a 5127j. Lately I've been thinking I'd prefer the rose gold version of the 5127. I don't have a local AD and wondered what would typically be the best way to pull off a swap like this while losing the least amount? Many thanks!!!

Have Explorer I pre-2016, what is next �C GMTc Master II or Explorer II 40mm?
Hi All,Just got the Explorer I and now I am looking for my next one. I o travel, although not as much as I used to and see value in one of the Rolex GMT watches. I will buy pre-owned and have an option of buying a 2006 or 2009 GMTc Master II 116710 Z serial number or Explorer II D serial number in white dial. I like the GMTc for its three time zone feature, however it looks like a dive watch to me. Moreover, I already have the black dial Explore I and buying another black dial may not make sense. The GMTc is $1,500 more than the Explorer II.Overall, I find the GMTc much more appealing. On the other hand, I like the idea of having a white dial Rolex that will compliment my Explorer I.Can't seem to make up my mind as this will be the watch I will buy this year�� famous last words��.

How important is history on a preowned watch?
Some people would be very uneasy wearing a strangers watch and choose to only buy new. Most people that buy a watch in good faith have no problem wearing a preowned watch without knowing its history. Now lets say you find out that the previous owner was arrested for defrauding elderly women out of their life savings. What would you Do?1 Try and get your money back.2 Sell the watch.3 Keep the watch.
