Any and all options for changing a gold (YG or RG) 39mm Chrono RO's band to strap?
Howdy all, I am in the market for a 39 mm rose or yellow gold RO chrono with a bracelet. I want the option to change from bracelet to strap. From reading a post or two I understand you need the end links and screws with caps for an aftermarket strap.... however, where do I get solid gold end links to connect from the case to the strap? Also, I need a clasp or deployment. I saw there is a conversion kit via the ap bands website for yellow gold models, but its 500 bucks and gold plated... not solid. Im not really interested in gold plated.Anybody have additional suggestions for aftermarket options for the links and clasp? Or anybody have an OEM version they are looking to sell? THANKS A MIL

Any ROO Panda Lume Shots?

It's so hard to give away my money.
I've been contacting an Ad here in Canada to try and purchase a Patek 5726. I am serious about buying the watch and ready to put a deposit and come pick up the watch. I've called to confirm the watch and order before my purchase, and I felt like I was really 'snobbed' out. I didn't feel like the sales person, (might have been owner as well) wanted to sell me the watch? He kept saying if you want come down buy the watch if not I only have one watch he kept emphasizing he only had one watch, and gave me the impression that ' hey if you're not gonna buy i don't give a damn cause I only have one watch. ' I couldn't believe it was so hard to give away that amount of money. He didn't even bother with my deposit request or even cared how much deposit I wanted to out down. Has our economy recovered so well that everyone is in the market for a Patek now, and the AD, can sell those easily and don't care about customer service anymore?

If I could only have one...
I've been in watch heaven lately. Every watch I put on, I'm just loving. I've got four Rolex watches right now that I'm truly very happy with. And for their own reasons, any could be my only. BLNR - on the sub bracelet. Great lume. Date. Timing bezel. Nice touch of color. SubC - on green Everest. Fun. Great lume. Timing bezel. Super clean dial. WG Daytona on OF - speaks for itself. Just a beautiful watch. Perfectly balanced. Great looking. DJ41 silver, smooth, jubilee - extremely comfy. Great looking. Incredibly versatile. Any of these four I would consider myself lucky to have. And I could definitely have any one of them as an only. But if I had to choose, and Ive thought about this a lot lately, I think I finally decided it's an easy answer. And considering it's a tough decision everyday at this point, I'm almost surprised it's a clear winner for me. But here she is...
