15703st vs 5167A
I think there are several points where these pieces crossroads and several where they diverge. AP Diver/ PP Aquanaut Cross points -Rubber Strap-Entry level (similar price )-Swim adequate -Comfortable to wear-Good Resale (it might be better for PP, don't know)-Great Lumen-Bezels are prone to scratch (not sure if one is more prone than the other)AP Diver/PP Aquanaut diverging points:- One is obviously a Diver with more WR- AP has more weight/wearing presence vs Patek is more elegant- PP has transparent case back to see the movement, AP not- AP has an inner rotating bezel to measure time elapse, PP not- AP has 60 hrs power Reserve vs PP 45 hrs- AP case size is bigger (42X13.8 mm vs 40X9 mm)Not sure about replacement rubber price but I think Patek strap might be cheaper. Also 3120 movement has history of running fast but from what I heard is not an issue anymore.But at the end of the day which one would you take home

1968 Speedmaster going into long term storage...
Since recently picking up a Rolex 1675 GMT the '68 Speedmaster is not seeing much wrist time anymore. I guess it's time to put it into long term storage. I'm going to seal her up in the an original NASA storage bag used to preserve a flown Apollo astronauts watch (who shall remain nameless) and then put it into the bag used to store the watch at the National Air and Space museum (NASM) for 35+ years until it went on display a few years ago.For any of you NASA Speedmaster fans, here is an image of how the Speedmasters were sealed and stored after they were returned by the astronauts and cleaned.

Two of Best Watch in World!
Guys, I'm lucky enough to have two of the most highly desirable watch in the world. I just want to share...

5960/1A or Daytona Platinum
Hello everyone,I am thinking of buying one $$$ watch this year as smething to keep (and wear ofcourse) forever and pass it to my unborn son later.I know they are very different from eachother. The one is steel and the other platinum. One is a bit more complicated and far more special movement then the other. And ofcourse one is a Patek and the other just a Rolex.I really like the looks of the Daytona that color scheme is so nice in person, but the Patek has also something very nice to it. The strange not so Patek like dial and steel with steel bracelet combined with a complicated first in-house chronograph is ofcourse very special wich is what sings to me very much with this model.So... my question is : wich one would you choose ?Cheerss

Real mad at Rolex and ADs!!!!!!
If you think of it, a lot of us here consider it a privilege to get the mighty call to go spend $12k+ for a daytona or to be honored to make it to the blessed waiting list for a $10k hulk!!!It should really be the other way around!! When I'm spending $10k on an unnecessary item (luxury and completely unnecessary) paying premium, where the dealer is making upwards of 40% off of me I would expect to be treated with utmost respect not the stories I read here about dealers keeping those pieces for their favorite customers!! I understand the supply and demand and might understand keeping supply less (slightly) than demand to keep value but what's doing on now is crazy!! Unless Rolex messed up big time estimating their production volume for the year, they are going out of business (highly doubt it) or have a sadistic CEO I don't get it!!But for ADs to supply grey market and deprive high paying customers that I do not get at all!!!I'm just mmmmaaaaaaaddddddd There isn't any unnecessary item
