15400 Blue Dial/Steel Availability in Hong Kong?
Anyone know if the 15400 in blue/steel is available anywhere in Hong Kong/Macau? I have a friend traveling through there for a few weeks now and he could pick one up for me if dealers have any. I've reached out to ADs via the AP website but none were responsive. Would be grateful if anyone has info. Thanks!

Patek exhibition London
Firstly if anyone gets the chance to visit this event at the Saatchi gallery London go for it. I've just returned from spending a Couple of days in the capital and visited the exhibition on Saturday and Sunday. Amazing exhibition and top marks to Patek. So here's just a snippet of my weekend 🍻 The original Patek aviator watch Some beautiful enamel dials 😍Artist at work Hand engraving I had the pleasure of also chatting with one of the watchmakers based at the UK service centre who kindly let me handle his watch that he had made himself from scratch as part of his coursework if you should happen to pick up the grand master chime this is the box you will receive to compliment it . Sorry if the pics are a little jumbled guys but I've got that many and not much time to post so these a just a few Radom shots. Again if you get the chance to visit the exhibition go for it 🍻

Patek 5065 Lume
Have this question I always wanted to ask. I have a 5065 acquired in 1999. 2nd version with the sapphire back.Sometime in 2005, the lume for the hands fell off. The hands are still intact. I sent it back to PP service center. They replaced the lume but they are brighter than the rest of the watch, i.e. the numbers and number indicators. Is this normal? My friend said that's cause they use a different luminance. Also I've never polished this watch before. And it is quite scruff up. Should I bother polishing it? I like it the way it is but some people do ask me why don't i polish it. Not sure if that's an insult.

Yacht-Master -- Is the bezel rotation supposed to smooth?
Hi!New to the board. It's a trove of information, and certainly helped me learn quite a bit. I purchased a used YM and it arrived today. One thing I noticed is the bezel rotation is quite smooth. Certainly smoother than my submariner. My sub's bezel rotation is tighter and the notches, or individual clicks, are much more pronounced. Is this a normal characteristic of the YM? It is a M-series, so '07/'08... if that matters. Thanks in advance!Andrew
