Vintage Speedmaster service: is this a dilemma?
I own mostly Rolex, thus my joining this forum, but I also love the Speedy and have two of them, one modern, one vintage. The vintage piece is a 145.012-67. I bought it with no known service history. It's in fairly good shape except the hour totalizer is not resetting to zero and running about 25 sec fast per day avg - faster when its worn, not quite as fast when face up off the wrist. Had it for a year now and thought I'd better think about getting it serviced.Upon contacting a recommended watchmaker / service center - now independent, but formerly omega authorized - I was told the following:1. pushers and crown must be replaced (standard)2. crystal must be replaced (standard to restore water resistance �� gaskets too)3. If there is a lot of mildew or degrading tritium on the dials, the dial should be replaced. #3, the dial, appears to be a deal breaker doesn't it? But the service center says if flakes or dust from degrading tritium markers get into the movement, that is a problem.Wha

Another what woulld you AP ROO vs PP 5167
I know both are very different watches I even traded my Diver for the 5167 but the black and red ROO is just calling me.I am also posting this question in the AP forum :)What would you choose and why?Thanks Simon

How blessed we are...
I wanted to do a thread on how we consider our Patek collection and how we feel about it.I consider myself extremely blessed and fortunate to be the owner of these 2 magnificent, in my opinion of course, Pateks which for many is the Rolls Royce of watches and I tend to agree.I never thought that I would have a watch which would cost more than 15K, and now I have these 2 great Pateks which are clearly my 2 favorite Pateks, all collection included, I prefer my 5712 to a 5970 for example, also I am lucky in the sense that I don't have to compromise on anything when I got my 2 Pateks as they are really the Pateks I prefer, the design, quality and finish is just perfect, you really feel that you have a superior quality time piece on your wrist.Every time I look at my Pateks, it just puts a smile on my face and I think to myself that life is good and I am a very lucky man, I own the 2 watches I prefer and will probably get the 3rd in RG, hence the 5167R which is also a beauty.Some of us are

Great photo of a Legend.
