51300 Accuracy Issue
My bramd new NIB RO 51300 appear to be gaining almost 5 minutes a week during the first two weeks i've owned it. This is way in excess of acceptable standards. Is this common and something that will resolve once the watch 'breaks in' or should a ship it back to AP straight away.I've read a few people post about break in time for their APs but i've never had to do anything of the sort with my Patek, Rolexes or Omega. This is my first AP.

New POC 9300 (w/ Sub-C) - Review & Thoughts
First off, I wanted to thank Alfred (member: FNFZ4) for a great transaction. I've been looking to buy this POC for over a year and was thrilled with the price & speed in which Alfred was able to get the exact POC I was looking for. I've bought numerous watches over the years from multiple sources; I can say without hesitation that Alfred is now my 'Go To Guy'...so much so that I'm already thinking of buying another watch (Ladies Speedmaster) for my wife via Alfred. If you're looking for the BEST price and unbeatable service, look no further than Alfred. Thanks again!Now onto the watch & brief history. For those that don't know, I'm a HUGE Omega Chrono fan...my SMP Chrono was the watch I feel in love w/ as a teenager and was my first 'real watch' purchase years ago. I use to be strictly an 'Omega Guy', but after buying a SD4000 about 5 years ago I started to really fall for Rolex too.

Speedmaster in Oslo...
Just got back from a cruise of Northern Europe and the Baltic Sea. Upon going through my pics, I almost forgot I had taken a pic of the time as we were pulling into Oslo, Norway... at 7:40am. What a beautiful city.

Engraving Caseback- Where and how?
Hello TRF members,Any suggestion where one can get quality engraving done on the case-back? I couldn't find much info on the TRF threads. I am Dallas, Atlanta and Anchorage the most. Any suggestion for engravers in these areas. I am looking to get an image with light text engraved and it seems the engraving can be done by hand or by a machine! Suggestions which one might be a better option?How much does it generally cost? I have attached few links for the images to give an idea of what I am looking for. I couldn't find much pictures on the net or information about engraving case-backs for Rolex.Also, do the engraving requires the case-back to be removed or do they do it while it is on the watch?Thanks.fourtane/images/Blog%...600&height=600perpetuelle.wpengine.netdna-c...le-900x637.jpg
