IWC or AP
If you have the choice between an AP Millenary 4101 and IWC Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Watch which one will you pick?

First PAM - 422 (MANY pics)! And I seem to have gone a little overboard...
... on the straps! There are just so many color combos and makers that I had to try a few of them right off the bat. This is going to be a long post with lots, lots of photos! First, a very nice, handmade, strap case by Rob Montana (The Strap Smith):In case anyone is curious, the straps are, from left to right (the last two are for other watches):1. OEM PAM rubber;2. Dangerous 9's 1926 ammo strap on a Roland Kobalia .950 silver buckle with X mas logo (this one will get a thread of it's own, what an amazing piece of history);3. PAM Assolutamente strap;4. Stone Creek's rolled edge black gator;5. Gunny's super smooth black calf;6. Stone Creek's black ammo (mounted on the watch);7. Ted Su's greyish/blue croco;8. Mario Paci's grey distressed;9. Kain Heritage's dusky brown with dlc buckleHere are some group shots of the watch and all the straps:Up close...Some gratuitous lume shots:And the obligatory wrist shots, along with some individual strap shots :And, finally, the gorgeous case back:I

Weird question...Rolex hulk w/ darker skin color?
I've been wanting to see a Rolex 116610LV in person, but unfortunately have been unable to find one to handle. I'm strongly considering buying one but the thing that worries me is that I'm a darker skin tone (Indian) and I'm not sure if the green will look good on me. I don't want to spend the money and end up hating it. I'm not really sure what I'm looking for, but if anyone with a darker complexion offer their input or provide me with a few pics, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Replacing parts and question of originality with modern Rolex
So this is probably a stupid question, apologies in advance if this sounds a bit silly. Now with vintage watches, everyone talks about the originality and how a watch with replacement parts, even if period-correct, isnt as valuable as one with all original factory parts. That brings me to this question, granted that our current 'modern' watches will one day, in 50 years or so, become vintage pieces. Will replacing parts now, for example, damaged screws/bezel pearl with uneven luminescent paint, or even, replacing the dial, lead to them being less 'original', and hence decreases the value, in the years to come?

Daytona Rolex Upper Screw Down pusher problem.
Hello everyone,I have a 1997 Daytona and am having problems with the Upper Screw Down Pusher. I pushed it down to start the chronograph second hand but when I tried to stop it, it's not working. Does anyone know why this may be happening or have you had this problem? Thanks!
