So...I know it's random...but trade deepsea + pan 233 = AP 15400
Recently I visited Ap store in nyc and VC store tried AP 15400 & AP diver white. Also VC overseas chrono which they only had brown color. Actually new VC chrono is stunning. First time in person but quality was better then AP so got me thinking... what rolex forums say? If I trade in deepsea + pan 233 to ap 15400 or VC oversea chrono. I know new one can't exchange but old VC runs around 12k. What you guys think? I have Batman but that is keeper ?Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

How resistant are RO's and ROO's to external shock?
Hi fellas,I was just wondering, how resistant are RO's and ROO's to external shocks? More precisely, how resistant are the 3120 based movements to shocks like drops, vibrations etc?I normally ride and cycle a lot, do you guy think in the long-run these sort of external shocks kill the life span of these movements? I guess the answer is yes, but I would like to know the extent of potential damage. I hope my query makes sense!Any opinions?

I Didn't Mean To
I just went in to look as a courtesy. Truly. I love the idea of a moon phase watch. I mean, it's just a super cool complication. But I'm gravitating towards smaller watches lately. That's not to say I don't admire larger size watches. I do. I just seem to be wearing my 39 or 40 mm watches. And all the reviews I've read state that this watch is BIG. I knew I was not going to like it. I was wrong. And it really doesn't feel big. In fact, on leather, it's downright butter on the wrist. Crazy comfortable. The looks just blew me away as I find it extremely attractive. i think it's the smallish lugs that make it wear smaller than it is. I wore it to sleep last night and I barely felt it on. And the lume was surprisingly strong for my nightly 2:00 ritual. Its definitely very thick, but I don't seem to notice that either. I'm 99% of the time with my sleeves rolled up anyway, so it's not a huge issue. Regardless of it all, and the fact that I continuously surprise myself with my ever evolving p

FYI... PP 2 yr. warranty is non transferable to the second owner.
My BIL took my PP 5396 to HSW in NYC for service and he was told that the factory 2 yr. warranty is non transferable.My watch still have about 2 months remaining on the factory warranty, but HSW say they will not honor the remaining two months of the warranty. PP said they will Email me with an estimate in about two weeks. Dosen't other major watch companies honor their factory warranty no matter who is the original owner?..

Looking for thoughts on this payment schedule
So I have money saved up for either a GMT II 2 tone or DSSD...just have to pick which one. But before the price increase I started looking at a 2nd watch. My Panerai AD told me something interesting. If I purchase a Panerai (looking at the 514) at full retail, they can finance interest free for 20 months. Or....they can provide 10% off with interest free financing for 10 months. Looking at the forums, a used 514 typically comes in around $6k USD. I don't know how long it will take our dollar to rebound. Right now, to buy a $6k watch in the US would cost around $7.4 CDN...ouch. Might as well buy new. Any thoughts?
