AP buying advice
Hello forum, I search and read alot however rarely post. Have been on a AP kick as of late and now searching for my next acquisition which I think I have found. The Boutique scuba edition in blue ( 15701ST.00.D002CA.02 ) is what I am really drawn to. My question is if it is worth it or not? Was wondering if the movement and finish and such is as good as present day models. Is the value there for what they are typically going for these days which I think is 17-19K. For such limited pieces they seem to sit for a while which makes me have second thoughts.I am currently not near a distributor and my patience is wearing so thin that I really should have purchased one yesterday.I purchased a previously owned 26331ST in blue recently and love it, it seems that I like the boutique editions. Am hoping to get a few more AP to insert in my rotation.Your input would be greatly appreciated.Cheers

Explorer II overhaul- Part 1
I'm currently in the middle of an Explorer II overhaul.The rotor axle was worn, you can clearly see the markings on the bridges and the smudge underneath the rotor.I refinished the case back and cleaned the movement once.The small group of separated movement parts on the right need to be replaced.To be continued...
