New deployant buckle?
Given that there is a new clasp for the bracelet. Will there be a similar one for leather straps?Or is there already one?

Price of Patek servicing?
Since I will get my 5712 monday, should have been today but nothing, UPS tracking says monday, big disappointment lol, I didn't want to ask before of the price of servicing, thinking that the astronomical price may stop me from buying.Now that my money is in the company's bank account and the watch inbound, what is the price for the normal 5 year servicing, with nothing wrong with the watch, and with no polishing (don't know with PP but with Rolex it's automatic, you have to refuse the polishing.So basically, open the movement, take it apart, oil it, maybe change a few parts a little worn out and put it back together.Are we talking 1000$, 1500$, or more?Am expecting around 1200$, hope I have it right, and it's not 2000$Thanks for telling me the bad news And how is the service? Heard excellent, some brands like Panerai the servicing is horrible, many owners get their watch back scratched, badly repaired, and they are not very polite, the big difference between the Panerai salon on Paris

Decision time - Explorer 1 or Air King
As the title says, people's thoughts? I think I prefer the Air King with its green coronet and second hand adding a bit of sporty colour, just interested in opinions, is the modern Air King thought of differently to the older models, which I always thought of as entry level, or is that still the case? Not much between the two specification wise that I can see, Air King 40mm, Explorer 39mm, both 100m water resistant, different movements though, 3131 compared to 3132, not sure of any practical difference that makes. Both pretty easy to get from stock at AD's in the UK, Explorer is good to go and Air King souced within a week or so. Thanks for any replies in advance.

Rolex strap
Hi, I'm new to the site, well new to you already members.Have a question that has been bothering me. Why do people change the strap on their Rolex for a leather one or something similar?
