My first experience with Audemars Piguet...
Greetings TRF,I have never posted a thread in this section before so I thought I would do it today to share with you my first experience with Audemars Piguet and one of their AD's. As some of you may know AP only has one dealer in Montreal, La Swiss on Ste-Catherine Boulevard (which is in downtown Montreal). I went there the other day with my girlfriend.First of all, allow me to talk to you a bit about the staff. Upon entering in the store we were greeted by a young lady who politely asked us if we needed help. Since it was my first time I told her I was just looking around and she told us to take our time before letting us take a look at the watches. A few minutes after a man came to us and after talking to him a little bit I asked him if I could try one on, he then invited us to a small desk and took the gloves out to let us take a look at some models. Overall the staff was very, very polite and kind, the man that helped me while I was there didn't seem to be your ordinary salesman,

Navitimer 50th Anniversary
I had been looking for a Navitimer on a bracelet for some time but very few seem to come up for sale on the pre-owned market. Last March I was lucky enough to find a 50th Anniversary Edition A41322 I bought it even thgough it had a few problems including a sticking stem and was in need of a service.I have always liked this version because it has the old Breitling doublewing logo (first used on the Navitimer around 1960) of two planes flying in close formation. The case and bracelet are brushed in contrast to the shiny polished finish usually found on modern Navitimers. The movement is the B.41 an ETA 2892-A2 base with Dubois Depraz chronograph module.Anyway here it is many months after it went to Breitling!

Remove/add links 5711
Has anyone done this by themselves? We are speaking about the bracelet with pins not screws, if you have, which tool? (if you have a link would be great) and how hard is it to do it yourself.Thanks guys!

Another question on patek
i dont know if there are any patek experts here (like there are for pam and rolex) but i have a question about a patek 5146 the web site shows the movement to be a 315, but i have read that at some point they changed to a silicon wheel 315, then to a 324. no date on the change, and like i noted above, the patek web site still shows the 315 movement (in the pictures). any clue as to what they did and when? just want to know what to expect at the dealers (and how old their stock is depending on what movement/when the changes went into effect). thanks, mark

Another would you do it thread
Hi everyone! I currently have a 233 AM/PM dial and a 311. I've suddenly got the uncontrollable urge to own a 47mm Pam, a 372 to be exact. I have a offer to trade my 233 for a brand new 372 plus $500. A tobacco dial is a must for me so trading up the 233 for a 372 and keeping my 311 is the plan. That would give me a super nice Chrono with fairly busy dial and the base of all bases. Thoughts on this deal please?
