AP ROO RC confusion?
Just picked up a ROO RC with the white face. I was told by the AD that this was the brand new model 2013/2014. When looking online on the AP website the only Rubberclad model pictured is the black face with white dials.Can anyone confirm the difference. I was under the impression that the RC came in both the black or white face.The model number I have in the owners documents is:26940SK.00.D002CA.02.A

Abandunce of models suddenly - a theory
Many might know I am a huge fan of the 5327 blue dial and for various reasons being holding back (Baselworld etc). However every dealer I go to seems to have one in the window. Isn't it selling?? Then I noticed when looking for 5205R my AD only received them in October every year! Wierd!! No ways I was going to wait Then we have had a surge in 5131R's...increasing production? Cleaning out the cupboard??Here is my theory following chats with various AD's and Salons and my interpretation. PP is a profitable business and Swiss. Known for efficiencies and precision...it's obvious they schedule production runs. We know the cases are made in batches as are dials so it makes sense that in a factory of 2000 watchmakers they know down to the date and hour which assembly line will be doing which assemblies and how many and for how long. It's therefore feasible that following a run of Worldtime or 5327 these are shipped globally. You will therefore see a glut for a period of time until demand abs

PAM 372 Strap
Hi, all.I am a first time poster looking for some info. I have wanted a Panerai since first seeing one in the 90's/early 2000's. I bought my first real watch 10 years ago, Rolex Sub, and am now ready to purchase another for my 40th b-day. I am drawn to the 112 and 372, but am leaning toward the 372. One thing is I really do not like the strap offered on the new models. I absolutely love the darker brown strap that was offered on the early models. Is it possible to still buy that strap from Panerai or do they only make them for the watch and discontinue after they move to a new strap offering. I do see that there are many after market straps that are awesome, but I would like to have the original from Panerai.I appreciate any response!

Let's post images of e.g. the 16710 on jubilee bracelets in order to get a different perspective on how the retirement bracelet can complement the watch.
