Just want to share this amazing video
It's a review of the 15305OR Royal Oak Skeleton by watchfinders.co.uk. A must-watch if you are an AP RG Skeleton owner. I always enjoyed this youtube channel and find the presentation very informative. It enhances my appreciation of the watches it features.For good measure, a recent shot of my seldom seen all RG 15305OR

I called our favorite AD but he did not have any. Does anyone know of an AD or grey market dealer that would have one? I have made a ton of phone calls but can not locate one on my own. Any help appreciated.

Awful PASC Experience - just got my 237 Back
So, I sent my PAM 237 in to Richemont PASC for a diag/service/polish. It was the beginning of this month. I just received it back tonight and was so excited I open up the box and the cool case they send it back in. It looks so shiny and new and perfectly polished. I am excited I flip it over to the back, aww yeah polished good..... WTF... WTF IS THAT. :bang head:Seriously? It looks like somehow they missed a huge portion of gasket sticking out of the case back? I mean, for real? What is my recourse here? Am I just expected to send it back in and take it on the chin? Should I complain to PASC?Should I demand a free watch for this incompetence (joke) but seriously?

Question - GMT Master II 16710

The bracelet had SEL and the case had lug holes. It appeared to me (admittedly a novice) to match what I would expect a 2002 Y serial to be based on my research. I was also told that the watch was serviced in house by their Rolex trained watchmaker and was guaranteed to have all authentic parts. I asked whether the dial, hands, and bezel were original or replaced during service, but the salesman didn't know. What struck me as odd was the dial had Swiss T<25 below the 6 o'clock position. I didn't expect a tritium dial on a circa 2002 watch. Does anybody know if some of these dials were still being used in 2002? I would have expected a Swiss Made dial and Superluminova. I guess it's possible that the dial was replaced during service with a dial the watchmaker had left over, but it was my
