AP 15400 questions
Hey guys, thinking of getting an AP 15400 at some point. A couple questions:1. How does the AP service cost for a date only watch like the 15400 compare to a Rolex Sub, for example? 2. Are the service intervals pretty much the same as Rolex? ( i.e. 5 years or so?)3. How have you found the 3120 movement to be? How reliable and accurate compared to the equivalent. ( i.e 3135)thanks

Head v. Heart
Hey everyone... the recent uptick of posts on the 5164 and 5712 (not to mention the incomings) had me zeroed in on one of the two as my next timepiece. I thought the 5164 would be a great travel companion (live in Tokyo, office in SoCal) and a good stable-mate to my 5146g. I have tried on the 5164 multiple times but never seen a 5712 in the metal. There was just something about the 5712 that I loved. Imagine my surprise when I happened on the AD in SLC last week and they had both available. My head told me that the 5164 should be the next acquisition ... Much more utilitarian with my line of work. But my heart fell for the 5712 - I was always intrigued with the design, but seeing it in the metal was even better. Couldn't afford both - dratt ! - so slept on it a night and decided ... to go ... with my ... HeartNot an ounce of regret - love, love, love the 5712!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Shiny or Matt PP watch strap
Most PP watches come with a factory fitted shiny croc straps, unless ordered otherwise.I was wondering what choice do people make when the time comes to replacing the watch band or getting a second band to use as a daily wearer and preserving the original.Shiny or Matt.=====Ive been looking at .camillefournet/en/eshop/leather-straps(who makes straps for most top luxury brands) which are fast, cost effective and will make a quick release compatible band for a PP.

Hopefully Rolex is watching
AP just released a 42mm steel chrono w ceramic bezel at 2018 SIHHAP listened to its base. 44mm was too big for many.Perhaps Rolex will release a 42mm DaytonaLots of Rolexes base think 40mm(38.5) is too small
