26320ST Water Tolerance?
Hello, Does anybody wear their 26320 in the shower daily? I'm used to showering with my GMT-IIC and have never had any problems in the past. Also, anybody do very light swimming with theirs in the pool? Just wanted to see what the 26320's water tolerance is. Thanks!

First visit to a Patek boutique
Well just came back from the PP boutique in Paris, and it's clear that it became my favorite brand with Rolex, tried 4 watches that interested me, 3 Nautilus and 1 Aquanaut, I loved the quality, look and feel of them, the perfect finition, the beautiful movements. Now I understand the reputation of the brand and number of followers which swear by that brand.I have definitely decided to get as soon as possible a 5712, blue dial, and one day if possible get also an Aquanaut in SS with rubber band.The watches are really perfect, nothing to say about quality and style, it's perfection.

18038 Lume coming off.
Hi all, I am more than a little bummed. Some lume has come off the dial on my 1987 18038. The watch has never been serviced so it is long past due. I have spoken to some friends who have Rolex and they have said the RSC in New York is the way to go. I'll call them Monday to see what it all entails. I was hoping for some tips. I was going to take some pictures of the watch befor it is sent. I have added two links to the bracelet. Do I need to remove them? Any suggestions?

16618 help needed!
A buddy of mine recently purchased this watch. We got together to check it out today, and there are a few puzzling things, especially with the bracelet. Serial x745xxx. On the inside of the end links it is stamped 46b. There are no stamps on the back of the bracelet, like on some other watches. I'm fairly certain the links screws have been tack welded in with gold. I'm also confused about the back of the case being stamped 18k. The magnification of the date is magnified, but not prominent either. This is my first hands on with a full 18k watch. Is it right, or do I have to break horrific news to my friend?
