Benefits of buying from AP Boutique
In all likelihood, my next watch will be the AP 15400 Blue faced boutique-only edition. I was in the NYC Boutique this weekend with the wife trying it on, and speaking with the sales associate. Even though I think that the boutique is my only option for buying, he tried to sell me on the benefits of it anyway. He noted the 5 year - instead of standard 2 year - warranty, as well as their concierge service. Obviously the 5 year warranty is awesome, but does anyone actually use the concierge service? Are there any other benefits other than the free swag I've seen posted here before?

Lost a pusher on my late 1960s pre-moon speedmaster... what to do?
Soo just this week I acquired a late 60s pre-moon speedmaster in fairly good shape that I have fallen in love with. While walking around downtown this week I stopped to check the time on my watch and much to my dismay the top (start / stop) pusher on the speedy was gone. I looked around but could not find it anywhere.I've checked online and see that I can source the part for fairly cheap (its a 145.022) from ofrei. However, I am afraid I might need other parts or tools to install it (new tube? spring?, etc?). I called some Omega dealers and they suggested it would have to go to Omega / Swatch for a service which will likely run me $800. The watch is not running at factory standars (its losing/gaining 9 seconds a day) so Omega would require me to take a full service.Any thoughts on what options I might have? The watch has not been serviced since 1999 so it is due (though its still keeping decent time). Should I take the plunge and get the full service or is there a band-aid solution tha

What a great way to start the New Year!
I am ecstatic to be a part of this club again...though I had to pay a premium for reentry. I would like to thank the members for their guidance and enabling. This one is definitely going to be a keeper. Best wishes to all for 2018!Plus some icing on the cake :)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

PCL's - If you're OCD, might not be the route to go.
Well, it's been one week to the day that I purchased both a TT Submariner along with a DateJust for my wife. My watch, the oyster bracelet. Hers, the jubilee. By comparison, hers looks amazing. Mine, meh. Don't get me wrong, it's still beautiful/gorgeous, etc. etc. But those PCL's pick up more scratches than a flea bitten dog on a lazy summer's day. I mean one could sneeze on this bracelet and it'll show a micro scratch marking. lol. I know I know, no big thing as they can all be polished to brand new upon servicing. Regardless, if you're one who is crazy OCD about scratches, might want to rethink PCL's. I know I was looking at getting a GMT Master II this week but the PCL's on that one are making me rethink the whole deal. Anyone else see this or am I just spending far too much time looking at the bracelet and then going, What the hell!? How'd it pick up a scratch just resting on the nightstand!????: Oh, and no worries here. I'm totally wearing it like nobody's business. I buy them to
