On The Dash Publishes A Comprehensive Collector's Guide To The Heuer Autavia, Which Is, Needless To Say, Totally Awesome
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Jeff Stein and his OnTheDash is something really special in the vintage Heuer community. It is, without a doubt, the thought-leader in the space, full of honest (rare in the watch world) assessments and analysis of the ever growing culture of vintage Heuer chronographs. Today, Mr. Stein has published a fascinating look at the Autavia, in all its incarnations, with glances at differentiating specific models, which are most collectible and why, famous wearers of the Autavia, and pricing trends. Even if you have just a passing interest in the original Heuer racer's watch, this is worth a read.Check out Jeff Stein's collector's guide to the Heuer Autavia here.

Diver or Scuba??
Hey Guys, I just joined TRF few days long ago, & I'm totally new to this AP forum. but i would like to ask all of you TRF members' opinions on one of the most popluar model, Diver!- What's the difference between Diver & Scuba? - Are they using the same movements? if not which one supposedly better?I've been looking for getting another AP for my watches collection, & somehow this Scuba model popped up on my browser, i like the look of it, but honestly i had no clues, & i know nothing what so ever about this model; but after i did some research & realized the Scubas' were limited edtion, so it actually caught up my eyes even more & made me want to add this to my collection! but then.. the only problem i have is, the scuba looks just identical/ simliar to the Diver, so.. what do you guys think? is diver a better watch? & do you think the scuba will keep the value better?? is it worth for me to spend $20k+ on the scuba? or should i get the diver instead or save

Killer new strap for my Speedy 9300
Just got my new strap from John Glance at Dangerous9 in Germany. I thought the Tourbe Brune alligator in chocolate brown with ecru stitching would add a robust and casual look and John's craftsmanship is absolutely out of this world.Let me know what you think….

PP 5711 vs AP RO 15202
I'm trying to decide between a 5711 vs the AP RO 15202 39mm extra thin as my next watch. Both with the blue dial. Not sure I will be able to swing both, at least not for the foreseeable future. Curious as to opinions from those who might own both as to what their preference and recommendation might be. Cheers.

quite some Patek related threads going on
therefore this one :-)This is imo the most beautifull watch they made the last decade(s)It is just perfect. If you love chonographs this is the Holy Grail. Superb case, amazing dial, 42 mm so imo a great size. Not too small like most PP but than again not a silly 50 mm. Big or small wrist, 42 mm can be worn by anybody. And ofcourse let's not forget the wonderfull finished movement.So, to answer a question from another thread 'why does somebody buy a patek ? well, imo it it THE brand to get.15 or 20 years ago I started with 1 Rolex. The SS submariner. I saved a lot for that submariner because I still went to school, so I earned it with some jobs i did after school and during weekends.I think I saved almost 1 year LOLAnyway, years later i bought more watches , mostly sportswatches.I went to AD who sold Patek because I worshipped Patek but didn't feel old enough to buy one yet (I was around 25 years)I had the feeling a Patek was like a Jaguar, great but not when you're 25 :-)If I had t
