Question to AP RO chrono 41mm owners
I was very curios when i tried two chronographs yesterday a VC overseas chrono and a AP RO chrono 41mm in SS. I was told that the overseas chrono bracelet was changeable to a leather or rubber strap, whereas i was also told by an AP dealer that a RO chrono's bracelet is not changeable into a strap such as the messi limited edition.

Not happy!
I have just bought a new speedy in Miami at an AD and when I got home, I have noticed a stain on the edge of the dial. I am totally disappointed. Would like to hear opinions on my options. Is it too much of a long shot to demand a new one. Going back to Miami is not possible. I attach pics. Thank you for any input.

LOVE my new Speedmaster Pro Tintin!
I am usually not the kind of person to post an incoming (still have to properly introduce my BLNR in the Rolex section) but I am so happy with my new acquisition that I would like to give it due credits!Long story short, I started in the (serious) watch world in 1998 when I rewarded myself with a Seamaster Pro 300m diver (aka the Bond watch or 2531.80 for you geeks!). Wore that one for 16 years straight when I stumbled The Rolex Forum as I was increasing my knowledge for my new passion of really serious watches. Had long been eyeing the Speedy Pro but the Rolex GMT Master-2 was starting to catch my eye and I had a new admiration for Rolex as a brand (used to dislike them quite a lot as the cheesy glitzy old DD and other TT DJ were never my cup of tea... I will admit). Eventually, I got a 3570.50 and as much as I loved it at first sight, it proved to not be a daily wearer for me as it was lacking the date and I felt that the hesalite was a bit too prone to swirls. Decided to sell it to

Observations
I participated in a sporting charity event this weekend. I had about 40 teams of 4 people come through my station. The event costs about $5000 per team so these people were not poverty stricken. I saw a lot of Rolex watches. The vast majority were Subs followed by two tone DateJust. Saw only 1 Explorer 2.I saw nothing above these watches. I would have expected some DayDates and GMTs. Not so.
