Sigh....
Sending the IWC and the LV-C off to their new homes today. Not going to miss the IWC. The LV.....??? That's another story. I have worn a variant of the Sub for 11 years now... But, the AP completely stole me away from Rolex and the feel, craftsmanship of the Royal Oak makes it feel like more of a rest of my life watch to me.Because of the constant wear the RO gets from me, I have a hard time justifying relegating a watch as nice as the Sub to mere weekend and travel wear.... And if a watch is not getting worn it becomes a sheer waste of $$$. The PAM 000 will now fill the casual-travel role, for now.... Unless I act on temptation and sell that as well and replace it with a Tudor Black Bay which is a watch that to me at least oozes Rolex build quality but has a lot of the old school properties Rolex used to be known for.Still I'll miss you Sub.....

Kid at a Candy Store: AP Private Meeting @ Inside Basel Watch Time Event Chicago
It happened this Tuesday before the Inside Basel Watch Time event here in Chicago. One of my lifetime dreams! A truly private meeting by myself with the head of Audemars Piguet for Latin America. I was like a little kid at a candy/toy store. After an hour and half drooling over all the pieces that I was able to try on, I came out with a few items on my AP wish list. No wonder why I love this brand so much!!! The best part is that all watches were 'stickers-free' so the experience was really awesome!!! The FC Diver is just amazing and I definitely want one. The one that I tried on was serial No. 0002. Just crazy! The new Royal Oak Jumbo is to die for. Not sure which one I like better, the SS or the Gold one. I was also able to try on the Royal Oak Equation of Time plus many other big time grails like the Royal Oak Skeleton Perpetual Calendar, the Millenary 4101, a Tourbillon, etc. I think I also want the ROO RG 44mm, it fit like a glove and it's just a dream. Enjoy the pictures!!!

Can you spot the small change to my FC?
Made a slight tweak to the FC, can you spot it? EDIT: Pic removed, was not aware of forum rules, sorry!Mods, feel free to delete thread. I'll post a different photo next time.

Pam 411
Should I sell my Pam411 so I can buy a GMT II?

Rolex on weekends only
I recently purchased a Submariner and now have some questions. I am only going to wear this watch on the weekends and potentially some days to the office (when the boss is not there ) . Should I wind the watch and set it weekly, when I wear it? I don't want to cause damage to the crown and tube threads. Will it be better to get a winder and have it on the winder for when I wear it a few times a week, but not every day?
