My day at the AD
Yesterday I decided that today is the day to go down and try on some AP's. Granted I have tried on a 15300 before but that was it and I really wanted to see what they were all about as I love them in pics. Well, my closest AD is 2 and a half hours so I woke up early and took a half day at work then made the drive down to Naples. I must say that the AD could not have been any nicer. Their staff treated me like a VIP client even though I told them I had no interest in buying today and that I was just looking. I ended up talking watches for about 2 hours in there and had an absolute blast! Definitely worth the 5 hours in the car yesterday. Onto what i tried on. The first watch I tried on was a IWC Ingeniuer..no pics but a cool watch nonetheless. After fooling around with that and some other pieces for a bit I finally made it to the AP SectionThe first AP I tried on was the ROO Panda on a bracelet. WOW!! I always liked this watch in pictures but when I tried it on, I knew it was for me. Un

How tight should the strap on the 5167 be?
I currently wear my 5167 daily and the watch moves up and down my wrist and feel it could lose another link (rubber strap cut). How tight should it be?

315 & 324 Movement
Most of us are aware of the issue with the sticking date on the 324 movement.I have had the privilege of wearing several different Patek timepieces fitted with the 324 movement and never had an issue with the date.I now find myself happily and fortunate in a position to buy a Calatrava 5127.The two pieces that I have been looking at are from different years. One is fitted with the older 315 workhorse and the other with the newer (current) 324 workhorse.Given the chance, which movement would you prefer?Is a slower beat better than a faster one?Is a more smoothly moving second hand better than a slightly more jerky one?Please help me with your thoughts and experiences of each movement.

Just got a pam 000
Will upload pictures really happy!!!!!!!!!!
