Help with 1st PO purchase please!!!!
I currently own a IWC Portuguese Auto 5001-07 with the white dial and blue numbers and I am looking to buy more of a sport watch to add to my collection. I was debating between a Panerai and a Omega PO. I really like the look of the older style PO-2500 movement where the dial matches the bezel. I know the new style is ceramic and their in-house movement is excellent but I don't know if I love the matte finish on the bezel and it does not match the dial. I know that might seem crazy and maybe it will grow on me. So with that being said, i really like the idea of the titanium le however I am wondering if anyone knows if they will be coming out with a black version titanium next yr. I like the blue but I don't think I love it. Lastly, I am trying to decide between the 42 or 45mm and any advice would be much appreciated. I have over 7 1/2 inch wrists if that matters. I apologize for the long post but thanks in advance for any help on which model you would buy. I am also looking to rot

EXTREMELY upset!!!
My friend has several Rolexes that he takes to a place where they fix watches to get his watches sized and what not. Instead of taking it to the AD that charges 25, yes 25!!! to get sized he told me to take it to his friends watch place who will only charge 3. so I did got it sized (removed 2 links) when I got the watch back on the sides of the links and around the area where the links were removed are scratched up and even have a few nicks in some areas on the side and back of some of the nearby links, even the clasp has a scratch on the side. what kind of half ass job was that?????? I didn't notice till after I got home. Not only that but it seems on one of the link holes they put their own pin in there. I am furious!!! So now the clasp has a small scratch on it, the links on either side of the clasp (the small one connecting it to the main links and the ones that are directly connected to the clasp) have dings and scratches on either side. As for the other links I dont care because

Guidance, 5131
A gold 5131 is my grail. I'm ready to start working on getting one. I intend to keep it until it's handed down.I works for me at retail, but on the secondary market I can't touch it.I know it's an application piece and something I can't just walk in and purchase.So my questions are. How do I go about being considered a viable option when I submit an application? How many watches does one normally have to purchase prior to being accepted for a 5131? Is it completely out of the realm of possibility to be accepted with the 5131 being the first Patek purchase?Generally what do I need to do to put myself in a position to get a 5131 at retail.I'm looking at this as a multi year process for myself. Thank you.

How to verify Rolex Oyster Perpetual Milgauss 6541
I have a Rolex passed down from my Grandpa and I don't know whether it's real or not. I have no certificate or box or anything like that. Could anyone tell me if there's any signs of it being fake, or how I could verify it? Thank you.

Could help myself - Hulk
So I got a 114060 about 3 weeks ago. Loved it, but really wanted a hulk for a couple years. The hulk was the watch that had me lusting after a Rolex. Found a local jeweler and traded in my Subc plus cash. I finally have one now!! Now I want a Batman....I seriously have issues.
