How to proceed
Hey guys. I bought a pre-owned alinghi carbon a couple of weeks ago and a couple of things are wandering inside my mind. Here's the first one: even though the watch is in perfect condition and is working fine I'm wondering if I should send it for maintenance to clearwater?. Here's the second: I have a chance to either trade it for a brand new grand prix carbon or should I just use trade money to get me a deepsea. So here you have it. Any advise?? Tx.

Worth the effort for third year warranty?
My newly acquired 15300st has nearly the full 2-year warranty remaining. I've registered it, but not sure about getting the third year added. As I understand it, you have to send it to AP for the pressure test to get the additional year.Reluctant to go through that when it is unlikely to be an issue - my RO won't get any wrist time in or around open water. Those duties will be handled by the Rolex brigade. Thoughts guys?
