Advice & Info Request - 5296 Sector Dial
Hello all,I've decided my next watch will be a Calatrava, and I'm about set on the 5296G sector dial, and recently found one pre-owned for sale. It's from 2006 and comes complete with certificate and box etc. Anyway, came up with a couple of questions if anyone can help or has advice.1) how much will a complete service and polish at PP cost, and how long will it take?2) has PP changed the movement (or case, dial etc.) since 2006 or would it be identical to a new model? 3) the watch has light scratches and has clearly been worn frequently, although nothing that shouldn't come out with a polish. What is a fair price? Thanks for any help!!

Little 40mm love
I don't post a lot. The main reason was that I sold the Panerai 270 I had a couple years ago. I debated long and hard whether to get a 40mm or a 44mm. I followed the majority of the advice I read and got a 44mm 270. It is a terrific watch and I got an amazing deal on it. Over time however, I decided it just wasn't for me and traded it in on something else. I had two principle reasons. One was the size of the watch and the hassles associated with getting it to fit under a shirt sleeve. The second had to do with the bands. I prefer bracelets especially when I travel. I try to exercise daily. Having a bracelet means I don't have to leave my watch back in the room and/or lock it in the safe. It is also nice to have the watch with me when I exercise since I am often running on a tight schedule.There were things I really liked about my 270. I did get used to the size and liked it even though it felt top heavy on my wrist. From a functional standpoint I found the GMT to be the most useful fo

service costs by model
Do the costs associated with servicing a Rolex differ between models? For example, the Sub no date has less going on inside it than say the SkyDweller. If both watches went to Rolex for serving, would it be more expensive for the SkyDweller if both watches were simply getting cleaned up and regulated?

Incoming ! Oldie but goodie
Happy Friday!So for a while I've been yearning for a 5 digit sub, specifically Y serial 2-liner 14060M with box/papers in mint condition.... while here and there I would see one pop up, a few weeks ago I decided to mentally commit (for me the toughest part of deciding to buy pre-owned), and yesterday found exactly what I was looking for and pulled the trigger - first time I bought from Govberg, and I have to say it was a pleasure. Armand was fantastic and got the package fed-ex in under 24 hours. Will size it later today. Hope everyone has a good weekend!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
