Is it rebairable???? (((Pics))))
Hello my friends been while since i last post here, recently i bought an AP ROO navy blue I serial from 2014 and although the watch was used but its in good shape. Couple days ago ive noticed 2 things that botheres me and would lile to know if its rebairable 1) in the pics i focused with the louple in the area above the chrono pusher under the rubber ring there is a dent and although its too small but gives me hard times and my question is is it rebairable by laser welding at AP service center AND would it ever leave mark OR be an weak spot in the case??2) also above number 2 inside the glass i saw a piece of dust + on the rotor also spotted 13) finally the chrono ring between 90 and 100 i saw some kind of orange colour but iam not sure what it is exactly!!The dealer i bought the watch from confirm that the watch never been opened and frankly speaking i did not see any sign of opening the caseback or bezel not even the holes in the sides, does it count as a manufacture flaws or is ther

An article in December Watchtime about Arnold Schwarzenegger, the watch collector and his association with AP.I couldn't believe the following images of how he keeps his watches (if the photos taken are true).Bloody disgrace compared to how I look after my watches.

Best Patek model under $50,000
Title says it all. Which PP is the best bang for your buck under or very close to the $50,000 price point that will retain its value long term. Not interested in nautilus or aquanaut models.Thanks for your input.

Why does Patek put Caliber 240 in watches that cost $20K and $200K...
Just wanted to bring one more perspective on the recent discussion why Patek uses the same 240 caliber in their simple Calatrava and the Sky-moon watch. Many complain that there should be a different movement in these watches. Why would Patek put a simple caliber in the more expensive watch...Well, you can also look at it from the other side. 240 Caliber is the expensive caliber. Patek could only offer it with the Sky-moon watch if they wanted and they could put something very simple and generic in the Calatrava line. Yet, they choose to put the same fancy 240 caliber in Calatrava watches so that we can have a chance to own something truly special and of the same top quality as the watch that costs hundreds of thousands dollars.

Incoming - 116500LN
Short version. Found myself with some time in the Bangkok airport today. Wandered in the Rolex shop. I noticed that they had a SS Sky-Dweller on display, which was somewhat surprising. I asked if they perhaps also had a BLNR. They did - in the safe. The gentleman then noted that they also had a white SS Daytona and a black SS Daytona, along with a range of other SS models. All in caskets. All Rolex retail prices, no taxes as this is an AD.I had about 5 minutes to decide between the BLNR and the white Daytona. Here is what I picked :). Wrist shots to follow when my journey ends. About the easiest and quickest luxury purchase I've had.
