AP straps: standard vs short on long length
Hi, the perfect fit for my is in between two holes. From the watch head end the third hole is just too tight. I can put it on but after an hour it need to be moved to the fourth hole. However, the fourth hole leaves the watch moving too much on my wrist. It won't freely turn all the way around my wrist but close. RDV in Toronto doesn't have watches fitted with short and long straps, so I can't simply try them on, so I'm left begging for answers from other AP watch owners. The perfect fit for my is the middle hole on a 44mm 1950 Panerai gator (just a reference)Thanks,EverettAP 15710 DiverSent from my iPhone

Thoughts on the 5711 vs the 5712
It's been only a few days, but here are some initial thoughts on my new 5711/1a versus the 5712/1a, which I used to own. First, IMHO, it is a WIN either way. Wrist presence:Both have great wrist presence despite their thin case. Dial:I think the 5711 feels more grand because there is more uninterrupted space on the magical blue dial. I think the 5712/1a dial is more interesting with the complications and the asymmetry (which I know some do not like, but I certainly did and still do). I also like the hints of red on the 5712/1a dial. WR:With the higher WR on the 5711, I feel a little more secure, but this largely is irrelevant since I probably won't use this in a pool/ocean anyway - but it's nice to know I can if needed. The backside:I love the 240 movement and the micro rotor. From an aesthetic standpoint, I think the 5712 wins here, but the 324 is no slouch and is also easy on the eyes. And, I feel good with the 324 on this since I have a 240 movement in another watch, so a little div

Something I would like to share with my friends in the Forum.
Something I would like to share with my friends in the Forum. I have a feeling of disenchantment with Rolex for what is happening with the shortage of models that we can access by purchasing them directly from an official dealer. The only example was the Daytona but now it seems that it will be extended to many models that are not worth stating because we all know what they are and which in my opinion we will never be able to reach them unless we contact a gray dealer that we know that they do have all the models. I would prefer that the prices are the ones that correspond but that we can access them in a normal way. I saw a Daytona advertisement that showed the price of $ 12400 in the photo and offered it to more than $ 20,000. It is simply ridiculous.I'm not questioning the policy of Rolex because we are all free and we do what we want but my disappointment in particular is great and really moves me away from the brand that I admire so much. I use this brand since 1970 or a little ea

Rolex 5100: Beta 21
Hello everyone,This is my first post and I hope that I am posting in the correct thread. If not please let me know and I will repost in the correct one.I have recently come across a Rolex Quartz, model 5100, NO. 252 in 18k yellow gold. It is in great shape with some dents and wear but it is minor. It also has the origanal box and service papers from servicing in 1982.I am just wondering how to figure out it's value and also if I decide to part ways with it the best avenue to go about selling it. I have just checked out Chrono24 and I'm aware their pricing is a bit out to lunch but there are several available foe $25K to $140K!!! Is this correct?I have attached pictures and appreciate any advice.Thanks,
