AP Royal Oak service question
I have inherited my father's AP Royal Oak. Can anyone help me ID the series and age? Model 4100SA, Case No. B41770-1123. My father was the original owner, but I do not know its service history. I have sent the watch to AP for service and they are proposing to replace the mechanical movement with the next generation of similar automatic winding movement. Will this impact the value of the watch? Thank you in advance!

When did you first start down the Patek road?
Hi folks,Although I've always had a fine appreciation for watches it's really been the last 5-6 years that I've been serious about collecting and learning about this crazy addiction. Actually I can tell you the exact date, 8/10/2011, the day I joined TRF Ive been all over the globe when it comes to brands and it's been a very fun journey discovering what I like and what I dislike. For all the various brands that I've owned I've always clung to Rolex as my core. But recently I've felt that I have acquired all that I need from Rolex and I've been really drawn to what Patek has to offer. I was lucky enough to acquire a 5711 white dial from my AD recently. I hate to say this but I just wasn't able to bond with it. I didn't even post an incoming because I knew it wasn't a keeper. Since then I've tried on a 5712 and a 5146 and I really loved everything about those watches. I'm pretty sure my next watch will be the 5712 or maybe the 5712r (or both) and I'd like to acquire the 5146r later on.

Rolex at Costco? Rolex at Costco.
I've heard of Rolexes being randomly stocked at Costco, but had never seen one in the wild before today. Here's an 18K/SS DJ with a silver dial set with diamonds. If I'm reading Rolex's website correctly, this DJ retails for $12,350. Still a bit surprising to see these at Costco (also note the Omega box in the background - they had two ladies Seamasters).
