Just ordered my AP RO 15400 from a great local AD!!
Hey guys!I've been roaming these forums for a while, but had never posted or contributed ....hoping to change that! I had lusted over the AP RO 15400 Blue Dial for a while, but after seeing/trying on both the Blue and Silver dials...the Silver dial just did it for me!! I had hoped to pick one up before the Jan 1st price increase, but couldn't work out a deal, I was comfortable with, with the ADs I visited. Until today, when I went over to Hing Wa Lee Jewelers** AD over in San Gabriel, Ca. A bit of a drive (from the LAX area) but I must say, if you live anywhere near LA, this place is a dream! Beautiful space full of high-end brands, and great staff. Check them out if you get a chance.So, I met with one of the sales agents, May, and mentioned that I was ready to make a purchase, and just needed to work out a price. I ended up doing a package deal adding a 31mm Silver Stick Dial Datejust (ref: 178274) on a jubilee bracelet for my fianc��e, and can say that I'm very happy with the final

Omega 20mm mesh bracelet
Anyone khow a ballpark figure on what these go for? And where to get them.

Limited edition anniversary watches
Hi folks,Thought I'd share this: my AD has just celebrated their 150th anniversary. To commemorate this, Patek agreed to produce two special limited edition pieces for them. The watches are described as 5077-100G-013 and 5077-100G-018.The watches are crafted in 18ct white gold the gold dial is decorated with Art Deco sunflowers in cloisonn�� enamel with inclusion of 49 silver and gold spangles. The Bezel and lugs are set with 113 diamonds (approx. 0.8 carats), and is presented on a blue alligator strap with a white gold pin buckle set with 29 diamonds (approx. 0.22 carats).Unfortunately I never managed to see them in person. They came in and were sold (both) to the same collector. I believe they were priced at $92k each.Greg

Bought my first Panerai last week... ordered my second this morning!
Well I bought my first Panerai last week the 323, being someone who has never shown any interest in them or even looked at a Panerai in person to seeing one and instantly buying one.Well a week later, I walked into the Panerai boutique in London and saw the 425 and fell in love instantly, I just find the vintage sparse dial so fitting for the watch. I purchased elsewhere as the boutique barely moved on the price but the 425 is incoming in the next week. Never has a brand hooked me so fast and so hard. Got to now hold fire before I find a reason to buy the Carbon Submersible.

Masterpiece turns 17
Hey,Long-time lurker here! I have finally settled on my next watch after selling my DJ last year and have decided on the Rolex Day-Date. I think the 238 on a YG bracelet will be a bit OTT here in London the majority of the time, the leather strap on the 138 is a great compromise.I cannot seem to find many on the 2nd hand market, what discounts do you think I could aim to get from an AD? Currently ��16250 as per Rolex.Thanks!
