Wifey's Bday Gift. Input Please.
Ok. So my wife is turning 40 in a couple of months and I've decided to get her a watch as her gift. I've gotten it down to 2 models. Got some input from her in passing as we window shopped. I'm trying to decide between an AP ROO SS white or a Blancpain Leman model in white. Both have diamonds on the bezel. The AP comes on a rubber strap and the Blancpain comes on either stain or alligator strap. The AP is much more sporty while the Blancpain is a bit more dressy, but sporty enough I think to wear casually. She already has dressy pieces from JLC and Cartier. Here is my dilemma. The Blancpain is an automatic movement and the AP is a Quartz. Is it worth paying this much money for a quartz movement? She likes the idea of a quartz because she doesn't have to adjust the time before wearing it. I just have a hard time getting my head around it. I just wish AP would make this model in an automatic without the chrono. What do you guys think?

Newbie Here, heres my collection. Hope you guys like it.
I have been a Audemars Piguet fans few years back, and I just could not resist since then. [IMG][/IMG]

Gray Mkt
I'm still new so I apologize if there is a thread on this already....I was at an AD yesterday and the salesperson was basically telling me that, without me having a prior relationship with an AD, it was near impossible to get a Sea Dweller anytime in the next year or two. I mentioned to her that it seems I have no choice but to go to the gray mkt. She informed me to be careful, b/c she's had atleast two preferred clients that purchased from non-AD's and when they sent their watches to Rolex for service, Rolex said the watch had been stolen and sent back to the original buyer. Has anyone heard of this before? If so, how is it possible to get comfortable buying from the gray mkt unless the person you're buying from is the original owner?
