AP Closed ?
I've been shopping for a new gray market 15400 ST Silver dial and they are a little hard to find at a good price. Some of the gray dealers and the AP Botique in Las Vegas told me that AP shuts down for a period in the summer and stops shipping out new watches. Can anyone elaborate on this? Maybe I'm a little confused.

What do you think of the new SkyRacer Raven?
Well Breitling's wonderful design staff has come up with a new design for the SkyRacer Raven LE...I'm not sure if they teamed up with the Playdough or Crayola folks when they designed these, but thought I would post this over here to get ya'lls feedback. Word is these list for over $5k....can't imagine, but I guess to each their own. Any how just thought it would be interesting to see what the group over here thought of these things.

My second 5167 in one week!
My newly purchased 5167 from last week developed a movement issue. Around 11:20pm-11:40pm, the movement would stop completely. Once I advance the time past 12:00am, it would run smoothly and accurately. Since it was still under PP warranty period, I contacted my seller, Thanh Do aka Takuya, for advice on the best method to obtain warranty work. To my surprise, I received a call and a text within the hour on a Sunday. Thanh was extremely apologetic and immediately offered three options to resolve the issue. Full refund, exchange for another 5167 or he will send it back to PP on my behalf. I was amazed by the level of service.Sure, just like any mechanical timepieces, it will eventually have issues. I didn't expect Thanh to step up and take ownership in resolving the warranty issue for me. This reinforced my decision to purchase with TRF dealers, especially with Thanh! Although I have a good working relationship with my local AD, I'm uncertain if they would have offered me a full

AD to keep warranty card
Added my name to waiting list for 116610LN and was called back 2 days later to say one was in stock (was not expecting that!).Now a few months on I have added my name to the list for the 116610LV. If your not on the list you'll never get to the top of the list! I was told between 2-5 years. It was explained that the AD will keep the warranty card for a period of 12 months before releasing it. This is even the case for repeat Rolex customers.It is obviously to prevent people buying and selling fast. Not my intention. Intend on selling LN once in possession of LV.I'm just wondering if this is common practice
