Just joined the AP Club!
Just got my first AP - a ROO Panda! Watch fits great, wears comfortably, and I think will see lots of wrist time... Thanks to the members here for great information and pictures while I was deciding what to get. Been looking to consolidate my collection for a bit now, and over the weekend went from 9 down to 5, picking up the Panda and credit towards a potential future 15400...Only question I have is whether the AP GP blk/red strap will fit on a bracelet watch?

Need help from experts
Good friend of mine works at a jewelry shop and just got this watch back from breitling service. I know this is a cosmonaute but thats all i know. This is the only pic he sent to my phone. He said $3500 for the price. What year do you think its from ? what the value of this watch ? Are the chronograph dials gold? What long term value am I looking at ?Im a noob to breitling and this would make my second. got a superocean 44 about 3 months ago.

Omega Apollo 11
HiAs a reponse to my other post someone mentioned Speedmaster , so I went to look.Firstly , in Prague , where I am currently living , the biggest AD has very limited selection on display but can order everything from catalogueThey had the Speedmaster and the limited edition version ( identical except for the red second hand and silver insert at 9 position)I just read all the reviews here and the only issue seems to be the price. They are asking for a 12% premium for the LE , offering 5% discount , and I have the chance to get VAT back of 20% ( flying to Switzerland in a few weeks so I can get the stamp at customs and the AD will refund me upon presentation of stamped docs). Net price is GBP 2650 /USD 4000.For the 12% I think its worth.... personally I like the watch with that silver insert ,so its not just about the LE issue.Is there anything I should be concerned about , or anything I should look out for when laying out the cash ? Its my first proper watch so I thought I will ask just

Now this what you can call a tractor !!

Rolex 116520 with 116509 Blue Heaven Dial
I know the purist would be against this idea and would never recommend such a thing but I want to change the look on my Daytona. I got too many black dials so wanted to change the look a little.I am thinking about upgrading the black dial on my 116520 with 116509 Blue Heaven dial.timeandtidewatches/wp-con...845x5502x.jpgI'd also need the WG bezel to complete the look. The only thing that concerns me is the color tone on the WG bezel which is slightly warmer than SS.What do you guys think?
