AP Royal Oak..
It's been a while since I have been fascinated by Audemars Piguet.. Especially their Royal Oak line.Don't get me wrong, they have fantastic design, but I personally think the Royal Oak (And ROO), are the most iconic AP design to date, and are the most striking to me...So yesterday I had nothing better to do, it was a lazy sunday afternoon, so I decided to take a stroll to me dealer and see what they have in store. Having doubts, because it was not very close to where I live, I gave them a call half way, and asked if there was anything interesting, especially down the Panerai Radiomirs, Rolex Day-dates, Audemars Piguet, or Patek Phillips... In-case I can't purchase them, I can always have a look and try them on my wrist to see if it looks good on me, and one day I can buy it! :)And they told me, they have 3 (THREE!) Royal oak on leather strap, two rose gold and 1 white gold all pre-owned, for sale.. Two ROOs, a few Rads, daydates, and a few pateks... so I was like That's a lot of pre-ow

Bergeon 7825 on Speedy New Bracelet
Hi Guys, as you know the New Speedy Bigbox equipped with the new screw type bracelets and reading other online source that Omega tend to be using a bigger Spring Bar vs Rolex Spring Bar.And the Spring Bar tool which come with the Bigbox doesn't really good enough and I was wondering anyone here used a Bergeon 7825 (pliers / tweezer) to remove the bracelets before?Bergeon 7825 was described as a very fine tip and does it provide enough grip on the bigger Omega spring bar?

Thoughts on 18K Yellow Gold Calatrava 3802/200
Hey guys,I have a few SS Rolex and wanted to add a dressier watch on a strap. A nice 3802 with box and archive papers is being sold locally for $8,250. I still have to try it on but at 33mm it sounds small, but it may work for my 6.5 wrist. Is this a desirable piece and is the price good? I'm really digging the classic look and roman dial. It was serviced 5 years ago.Any and all inputs would be appreciated. Attached pic is borrowed from the net. Thanks in advance!
