AP 15300 blue dial - authentic or not ?
Hello everyone. So I've been on the lookout for a 15300 with the blue dial for a while now and I've done as much research as I could. Finally i've located one that seems to be in a fair condition, never had service and for a fair price. Only issue is, that it comes without papers. And since we are meeting in germany (I have to fly there) I would like to make sure before i go there, that the watch seems to be authentic. So hope you can help me see if everything seems to be in fine order, Also if there is anything in particular I should know before the purchase. Thank you very much guys !

Seamaster question:
I like the old style sword hands and speedy bracelet. Am I crazy to spend $2,300.00 for a 2255.80 or should I spend $3,100.00 for a 212.30.41.20.01.002 ?Is the co-axial a lot better? (borrowed pics)

Panerai S.L.C. Question
Awhile ago I posted a thread asking for suggestions for my first Panerai. I went their boutique in Manhattan and tried on several models in varying sizes. I have looked at everything from their ETA models to their in house models, from Luminor to Radiomir. I know everyone says the 371 or 372 is the way to go to get the best example of a Panerai but I really have my heart set on a Radiomir. If you look at my Rolex collection (with the exception of my Submariner) I tend to like the less sought after models in collections. This is what first brought me to the Radiomir line. In the line everyone has been suggesting the 183 but I wanted something in house and a little different. The new in house 42mm Radiomir is too small for me, I already have 39mm and 42mm watches. I definitely am considering the 190 with the JLC movement, however also in my crosshairs is the 425 S.L.C. model. I really like the minimalist design. I also appreciate it's size and in house movement. My question is

White gold oyster flex ceramic Daytona
Have an option to buy, doesn't seem that hard to come by... anyone own and any thoughts on the piece...I'm on several lists for both the black and white stainless... for the price of WG I could have both stainless pieces...Thoughts, pics, recommendations

What is up with these Daytona dials?
This company is pretty well known. Is it just me, or do these dials look really weird? Below is my 116500.The Rolex on the dial is cartoonish big. I'm shocked they'd post this photo and advertise these watches.
