RO water resistance question
I was wearing my 15450 37mm Royal Oak doing the dishes my wrist was submerged in warm water for about minute. I wasn't thinking I normally take it off to do dishes. How ever around the crystal on the back and even on the edge of the back crystal I noticed a somewhat hard gunk. Now what ever it is wont come off the crystal. Could it be glue? Have I done something bad? Their does not seem to be any moister in the case. I did try to take pictures you will have to zoom in. I love my RO but is seems super fragile. Thanks for any help. signed an over protective watch owner. :)Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Rotor customisation by Audemars Piguet
All,I understand that Audemars Piguet offer a rotor customisation programme. May I ask if anyone is able to share additional information and perhaps their personal experience of this programme (perhaps including pictures of the customised rotors)? In particular, I would be interested in the price of various designs (as I understand this is based on the complexity), whether it is true that this service is offered free of cost for boutique customers and whether one has the option of returning to the original rotor (perhaps at the time of service)?Thanks!

Omega Ranchero
I received this watch about 10 years ago from my dad . . . he told me that they where only made for 2 years . . . I put the watch in a drawer until a few months ago . . . I called my big friend 'the watchmaker' if I could visit him and bring a watch to get back into shape ;-)He inspected the watch and said . . . no problem . . I wasn't expecting anything else ;-)So he found a new glass since it was cracked (I received it that way . . . thanks Dad ;-)Today he called me that it was finished so I jumped into my car and was really curious to see my first overhauled or restored watch.I am amazed what he did . . . new glass . . . a little bit of polishing . . . and a big service . . .There it was my new Ranchero . . . If you want to read some more about it here is an article from Honkidee .hodinkee/2008/10/22/1...-it-watch.htmlHere are some pics of the Ranchero (the first one was how she left . . . )Great patina . . . . I love it !Next step will be a new nice tan leather strap . . . lizard

PO Liquid Metal
I thought the Rolex GMT IIC was the watch I was going to buy next, but after seeing the Omega PO Liquid Metal, no contest. I will try to buy a LNIB or BNIB or wait till the new POs come out in June.

GMT II 16710... Factory service polishing?
I have a A serial 16710 which I've owned since 1999... It's always run perfectly. I sent it in to Rolex for a factory service in 2013, they also did a light polish on it. How does factory polishing effect the future value of these watches? Should I refrain from having it factory serviced again if they always polish them?
