'new' warranty cards + question
I'm looking to acquire a pre-owned from a seller in EU.he's sent me all photos of the card and papers, and i noticed the warranty card does not have the AD stamp or date.he's telling the 'new' cards now require electronic (online) registration, and no longer have stamping by ADs.the watch, card and books all have consistent serial# stamps.can anyone verify if this is true?I'm just wondering how does AP verify purchase date (and therefore warranty expiration) if there's no paper trail (assuming no printed receipt from AD)?lastly, anyone know if JB Jewelers in Israel and UK is an AP AD?tks!

From the sock drawer my only ROO
Hi All:After years of staying away from watches why did I think I wanted a 5513? Boredom perhaps, but I'm delighted to happen upon Rolex Forum and the generosity of participants in the Vintage Rolex section. Initially, I was surprised to find an AP adjunct and hoped to avoid temptation, but trespass seemed destined as ruin is inevitable. Thanks to bantering here I dove into my sock drawer and dug out my old RM only to have the strap break after a few days. I admit the incident, always in retrospect, was more amusing than embarrassing. While amidst the lyles, argyles and gym socks I found and decided to dust off the old ROO and take a couple of snaps to share herein.Best wishes.RC

Two AP for one Patek ?
The following is on the table for me......AP 26320 Rose Gold Chrono + AP Panda for a 5980/1AR .....I'm actually considering doing this but am having some reservations. This would leave me with the 5980 as my dress/nice casual piece with a couple of Panerai and a Sub as the daily drivers. Any thought would be appreciated. TIA !!!

Pam 692
Hi All. I have a handful of Panerais and always seem to gravitate torwards Luminor Submersible 47mm, my submersibles are 305, 285, 507 and the 508 and I apsolutly love the 692. I especially like the new material for Panerai and what they are calling called BMG-TECH (Bulk Metallic Glass) i think the fact they have figured out this new material and a 50 year guarantee from the movement needing any kind of lubrication is cutting edge and will sell like hot cakes and probably make its way to other models. It's suppose to be lighter and more durable than their titanium and the color is said to be slightly darker than the titanium with a gray hue, which I like.Although I haven't seen it in person, I know I'll want the watch but trying to talk myself out of buying another submersible. Has anyone seen this watch in person? If so, would like to get some feedback.

Love the new Rootbeer GMT
Honestly I've never been a fan of any of the modern ceramic GMTs. I tried to like the BLNR with its beautiful blue ceramic bezel but the numbers were too large and the contrast too bright. But now comes the Rootbeer and the black/brown bezel and bam I love it! And it's perfect in two tone. Forget the badly colored pastel Pepsi, this is a winner!Am I the only one who feels this way? Is this Rolex blasphemy? I guess your mileage may vary, but check out these pics from ablogtowatch.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
