AP RO at clearwater and I chose a light polish
Hi everyone, I recently sent my AP RO for the pressure testing and 3rd year warranty. Upon inspection I was told the following:- case has small dents at 4 and 10 o'clock (purchased it preowned) - bezel shows minor scratches from normal wear- it appears case had been opened and there was debris in the movement. Based on conversations with Betsy, I decided to get a light polish as part of the service. I was told they will laser weld the dents on the case and clean out the movement at no charge. I decided to have the light polish since I'm having other things done and she said the watch will come back looking like new and I don't anticipate getting another polish on the watch for many years down the road. Needless to say, I can't wait to have it back. I definitely have to commend AP's Service representatives. They have been in constant contact with me and kept me informed throughout the entire process.I was wondering if anyone had pics of a recently lightly polished RO for reference. Tha

5980 from 2008 ...should I be concerned ?
I'm being offered a stainless 5980, papers dated 2008. The watch is in nice shape but has never been serviced. Being a Patek NOOB, I have some concerns....1. Will the watch be needing service soon ?2. Any major changes between 2008 and the last year of production (2013 or 2014 I believe) ?Anything I should look for ? or is it better to try and find a newer one ? Thanks very much for the feedback.

What Happened to Panerai Local Dealers??
Good Morning all....Years ago when I was fist got into wearing Panerai around 2006-2007 there were a bunch of local Panerai Authorized Retailers. Went back to Rolex in 2012 and took a break. Recently I have rekindled my love for Panerai and noticed all of the local dealers have vanished? What happened? Were the dealers pulled from Panerai or did they give up on selling them??Thanks in Advance...Steve S.
