Ceramic diver getting rare
With all the black ceramic diver incomings and the fact it's being discontinued it seems to get harder to find, on chrono24 there are just 3 on sale, 1 in the US, 1 in Hong Kong and 1 but used in Denmark, there are more white ones though but I would not get a white one, except if having a large collection and wanting to add a fun watch for weekends and holidays.I could be wrong but I have a feeling the black ceramic diver is going to become a highly collectable piece, like the 15300 and other pieces, I mean it seems to have been made at less than 600 pieces, mine is around 550 and I just got it, so the final number should be around 600 which is very limited and much more limited than some limited editions.Plus the fact that it' a really cool watch seems to me all the makings for a very collectable piece, with the 44mm ceramic ROO's it's definitely the coolest ceramic piece around, all the other ceramic watches I've seen, Pam 335, Omega DSOTM and a few others are no where near as cool a

Winding problem RO Dual Time
I recently bought a 2011 Royal Oak Dual Time 26120st, and since yesterday the automatic winding funktion has not worked.So now I can only wind up the watch manually.I can hear the rotor is spinning inside the case.Have some of you seen this problem before and do you have a solution?

Looking for Input From the Patek Experts
Hey Gang, I'm looking to buy a used Patek (from a Forum member) which is dated 2012 and received service work from Watch Check in the Philippines. I went to the Patek Website and couldnt find them as an authorized Service Center. I did see however they were an Authorized Service Center for IWC, Breitling and Panerai.The Work Order Included a Restore of the following:- Scratched Crystal- Scratched / Dented Case- Scratched Clasp- Replacement of StrapTo the Patek experts on the forum, would you be comfortable purchasing a watch that had what appears to be just a cosmetic restore of the watch from this service center? Also, should I care that the watch was polished?Thanks in Advance!

Can you live with good looks alone?
I've been thinking about getting a Panerai. It will be my first and only Pam. It has to be a 3 hander with a sandwich dial. I will admit that is a classic Panerai look, and indeed it looks very good.However, I am a complication type of guy who likes rotating bezel, chrono, etc.So the question is, if you like complication in your watches, does the basic 3 handers Panerai become boring after a while???PS. I rule out chrono Pams since it just doesn't look right to me. the flyback does look very good, but is out of my price range.TIA,anthony

Daytona with sapphire case back
Case back of from Thomas P from custom watch concept out of Germany, he doesn't answer emails but I purchased it anyways since there's a lot of reviews here on the TRF. My AD charged me 40.00 to install and pressure test. I love to see the movement even though it's not at AP level. It's reversible so it's no big deal to go back to OEM.
