AP Royal Oak..
It's been a while since I have been fascinated by Audemars Piguet.. Especially their Royal Oak line.Don't get me wrong, they have fantastic design, but I personally think the Royal Oak (And ROO), are the most iconic AP design to date, and are the most striking to me...So yesterday I had nothing better to do, it was a lazy sunday afternoon, so I decided to take a stroll to me dealer and see what they have in store. Having doubts, because it was not very close to where I live, I gave them a call half way, and asked if there was anything interesting, especially down the Panerai Radiomirs, Rolex Day-dates, Audemars Piguet, or Patek Phillips... In-case I can't purchase them, I can always have a look and try them on my wrist to see if it looks good on me, and one day I can buy it! :)And they told me, they have 3 (THREE!) Royal oak on leather strap, two rose gold and 1 white gold all pre-owned, for sale.. Two ROOs, a few Rads, daydates, and a few pateks... so I was like That's a lot of pre-ow

Breitling USA - Great service
A month ago I found my Breitling Colt Chronograph II dead in my watch locker. For those of you who don't know this watch is a Super Quartz movement. It's very accurate. I use this piece to set all my other watches. I found it dead when I went to set a watch. Anyway, I took it to the AD. I couldn't remeber when I bought it but I knew it wasn't that old. The AD checked with Breitling and sure enough it was 2 years and 4 weeks old. That's four weeks past the warranty. I was going to have the AD replace the battery, gaskets, preasure check it and be done. But the AD suggested I send it to Breitling USA. Saying that they could end up fixing the watch free because it was so close to the warranty. The AD sent it to them and it came back yesterday. Sure enough BUSA fixed it and did a full service, plus they polished and brushed the surfaces. The watch runs and looks great. I can't be happier.Great service like that is why I go with a particular company and in this case I am very happy. Good Jo

Nautilus 3700/001 lume on hands vs. dial
Anyone have a completely original 3700/001? If you charge up the lume with a flashlight, and go into a dark room, do you see a difference in how the hands and dial markers glow? I'm evaluating a watch and I'm curious to see what's normal here (I can't find examples on Google image search). Under a loupe, the hands and the dial markers have a different fill texture, which I've heard is common, but I'm curious if that would impact the glow intensity and consistency between the hands and the dial. Thanks.

16800 purchase advice
I'm still learning about Rolex (the deeper you go, the more you get lost) and have found I don't like the latest generation of Rolexes. I've been looking for something reasonable that had a vintage vibe to it. Ideally a 5513 but the ones with nice Patina seem to go for too much. I started looking at 1680 as I like the date wheel with the open 6 and 9. I came across this 16800 that has a nice dark patina to the markers and a ghosted bezel.Could you tell me if there's anything wrong with the watch and the price? So I know what to look for next time. Also, would you avoid purchasing from an international seller? And will I get hit with customs if I purchase internationally? chrono24 won't give me the links for the pics so I'll just provide the link to the watch I'm looking at - https://.chrono24/rolex/subma...-id7955375.htm
