5164 and 5130 with rubber strap
For a while i have been thinking to replace the leather strap on m y 5130P with rubber strap, reason being is that i don't wear leather strap often nowadays and i enjoy wearing the watches in rubber or bracelet the most due to comfortability. Lately i managed to find a good rubber strap for 5130P and i am not sure if it looks okay from your view? What do you think? The blue color rubber strap matchs with the blue dial of 5130P quite nice, at least in my opinion. I have snapped a side by side picture together with the 5164A with tropical strap for comparison (apologise for the poor quality pictures, i snapped them with my mobile phone, hope you all dont mind) Look forward to hear your opinion.
Patek Phillipe service estimate
I just read a post on another forum from a watchmaker who recently sent a 119 year old Patek Phillipe 14k pocket watch back to Geneva for an estimate to repair it. As you probably know, PP will repair any watch they've ever sold, for a price.The estimate came back at $13,000.00 with an ETA of approximately 40 MONTHS!!! Kinda makes a Rolex $500 - $600 service seem like a bargain, huh?
How did this ding came about?
Bought this 116610ln from the AD.Ding is at the bottom edge of the case at 10pm mark.Only noticed this ding after i brought it to another branch of the same AD to resize the bracelet around 2 days later.It does not look like it was dropped as there are no other signs of damage.And the shape of the ding looks too perfect and rounded.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Heading to Tokyo next month for a vintage rolex
Hi guys, I am heading to Tokyo next month for holiday. I am in search of a vintage 5513 or 1675 - would love to get one from Japan. I have a couple of questions:1. How are the prices like in Japan now compared to the rest of the world? I have been looking at some websites of AD/Grey dealers online in Tokyo, and the prices seem much higher than the average. For example, a good condition 5513 can go for 14k USD.2. Does anyone have any good recommendations of vintage rolex shops to visit? Will be staying in Shinjuku area, but definitely will be visiting Ginza, Shibuya, etc.Would also love any general tips/advice from you guys. Thanks :)
