A Very Special ROO LE
No, it's NOT the ROO LBJ If you have read my earlier thread about my visit to APSC Singapore, you may recall I've mentioned that AP was going to launch a very special ROO LE.It was finally launched in September 2013 during the Singapore F1 season. There was no big bang announcement like the LBJ, but AP had chosen to launch this very limited LE, 20 pieces to be exact, while hosting their new owners who were specially picked by AP at a posh suite located at the GP paddock during an adrenaline-pumped F1 race evening. Looks familiar? Isn't it the ROO ref. 25721ST? Yes! On the dial side, it is a re-launched of the very first ROO design way back in 1993. Ref.25721ST is the mother of all ROO and really deserves a special treatment to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Offshore line. And so the birth of this very exclusive LE. AP has updated the original JLC-based movement with the in-house 3120 base movement. The LE comes with a sapphire crystal case back which exposes the exquisite move

Speedy Tuesday: Boom or Bust?
What are your thoughts on how this will do in the secondary market? Will it be a sought after limited edition similar to the snoopy or will it flop like various other limited editions have done?

Brochure from Patek Philippe
Hi all,Just thought i would share this with you all. After emailing patek asking for a brochure so I could add it to the collection I receive a lovely email saying it would be their pleasure to send me one. Today it arrived and what can I say.... the books came in their own branded box, inside are three beautiful books with full HD images with a serious quality feel. Totally shocked by their efforts to please their customers ! If only I could afford one haha !Just thought I would share this with you all !Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Strap confusion
I'm thinking of changing the strap on my 5205R. Are there any good alternatives to patek straps for patek watches with the quick change spring bars? What I mean is that your typical aftermarket watch straps will not have the apertures in the strap to accommodate the quick change spring bar. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Question about 17610 Bezel Inserts
I have noticed a difference in Bezel Inserts for the 16710 particularly where the 2s and 4s have a slight flare out of the white text. Not really sure if this has an official name or not. Does anybody know if there was a time period for when one bezel insert ended and when one started? I looked in the bezel insert thread in the Reference Library and didn't see it mentioned.
