Oops they did it again!
Just picked up my new 15400 last week, wore it for 4 hours then put it in the case whilst I wait a 1.5 link. I'll start off by saying I'm an AP fan having owned a largely trouble free ROC and SS 44mm Novelty albeit both only for a short period of time. my wife for her part owns a RG Milenary and a lady RO so I have spent a fair bit of money with them over the years. Their watches are stunning and whilst having flipped all mine my wife's watches and the new 15400 are keepers.My problem lies with their QC. From 5 Watches 3 have had problems all resulting in a lengthy stay at the APSC. The last straw is my 5 day old (worn 4hrs) RO as today whilst admiring, setting and winding the crown pulled right out in my hand.I'm in the midst of penning a rather strong worded email to AP but wanted to vent off to the TRF community for those of you that may be thinking of buying.A lot of owners have had no issues and they do make great watches but their quality control is poorer than poor

Speedmaster Decisions & Advice Please
Hi All -A Rolex guy trying to increase my Speedmaster knowledge! I am happily hunting for a Speedmaster. It will replace my recently sold and loved 16710 and be worn Mon thru Thu at the office. My 14060 Sub owns my wrist from Thur thru Sun. I am liking the idea of those 2 icons as the platform for my rotation. A Zenith Class Elite earns church and suit duty. I prefer to buy here or on TZ - but not much available now. I hear jmryshi is a trusted seller on the bay and below are 2 listings I am targeting at the approx $1800 range.Questions:Anything look wrong with the below listings?what is the difference between the 3570 and 3590?I have the flip sickness - which Speedmaster (of any) will be the easiest to resell?Should I consider the Broadarrow?A million thannks!!! 3570.50cgi.ebay/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT3590.50cgi.ebay/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Compare your 5167A to Daytona, if you have both
My watch dealer has offered me an excellent deal on a LNIB 5167A, and I'm on his wait list for a stainless Daytona. I've never owned a Patek, but the Aquanaut is the one that most appeals to me. I'm only going to get one nice piece this year and can't do both, so if you own both I would love to hear your thoughts. I've got around me ten Rolex and Tudor sport watches already, new and vintage, but the Daytona is sort of a Grail watch. I have average size wrists but I do like bigger pieces with some presence, and my favorites are my 42mm Polar ExpII and blue Milgauss.I realize these are apples/oranges, and Chrono function isn't really a factor, more the iconic nature of the Daytona that I like.
