So my friend...
So I was at a housewarming yesterday and one of my good friends asked to try on my panda. Of course I let him, but what happened next shocked me and everyone around us. We were chatting with a bunch of friends and I hear a thud, I look over and saw my ap on the ground... Everyone became silent and my heart stopped for a few seconds while I was trying to take in what happened. My buddy's face was in shock. We picked it up and noticed the second hand had stopped moving, also the Chrono wasn't working as well. He immediately told me he'll pay for the servicing which I appreciated, but here's the kicker: it started working again 10 minutes later, chrono and all! Should I still send it in or just leave it be?

Man I Love All These incoming Threads!!!
Keep em comingAnd also a BIG thank you mods for making the AP forum

Unexpectedly back in Breitling!
Hi everyone, just wanted to share a little story of how I ended up back in Breitling after about 9 years of absence. Firstly, I had been focused on adding to my panerai collection with a radiomir 292, I have been admiring this watch for some time. Anyway, I had been in Orlando for a week with my young family doing the whole Disney World experience which was amazing and on shopping adventures my wife and I ended up at a AD of panerai, which happened to have a 292, which I tried on and was somewhat disappointed with my reaction. I wasn't thrilled about it on my wrist. So, back it went on tho the display, then my wife suggested I add another IWC to my collection and looked at the Galapagos which just looked to plasticky for the price.....then she saw the Breitling store and said to take a look. Immediately she scoped out my new purchase the Superocean M2000, with the green accents on the chrono, nice watch and nice wrist presence. Very happy with it so far.

Bracelet Pins for Speedmaster 1998/849
Where is the cheapest place to purchase a few pins (no tubes required) including shipping to Canada? Ofrei is reasonable at $5 each, but the shipping at $22.50 is killer!Do ADs charge more or less?

Patek 5035r
Dear all,I am very new to Patek as I have spent most of my time on the Panerai sub forum. I have been reading and falling in love with the brand but have yet to have the means to buy one that I want yet. Thanks to all that post awesome info on this forum. Learned a lot about the brand in a short time. On to my question. I just found out my father in law has the Patek 5035 in rose gold. He has had it since it came out in the 90's I believe and the strap is in bad shape. I would like to buy him a replacement strap. Any suggestions is much appreciated. Is there a aftermarket option? Is it easy to do the replacement myself? or need to bring to an AD? Thanks in advance!!!Best,Jack
