Pulsar Men's Automatic Watch Winner Follow-Up
Back in August (of 2010) I offered this Pulsar (by Seiko) Men's Automatic watch as a giveaway. The winner, Chris, happened to be a bit of a blogger himself and was nice enough to share his thoughts (and watch) with the world in a review. The watch looks pretty nice, especially for the price. You can check out the winner's review of the Pulsar Ref. PS2004 here. I am always glad to hear from another happy giveaway recipient. Note that the above pictures are taken by him.

15300 advice needed.....
Hello all. I have the chance to get a g serial 15300 black dial in pretty much nos unpolished condition with all boxes and papers. It was sold in 2012 and sent to ap for third year warranty. Sellers bottom dollar is $11,500 usd. So my question is, with the recent jump in 15300 prices dose anyone expect a drop in value anytime soon or maybe prices to rise more? As these are getting harder to find in this condition do you think this is a sound deal? Thanks for your insight. Btw I know no one has a crystal ball and who knows what will happen, I'm just looking for your best guess.

Didn't take me long. Thinking of flipping up to a Diver. Questions!
I got my 15400 a few weeks ago and I love it. Awesome watch, no complaints. Thing is, I've always loved the diver and I'm thinking about flipping up to get it, despite the fact that AP is not in the top 3 anymore Not an option to have both right now. So, here are my questions:For those that have the diver and a 15400/15300, how does it wear? I've tried on the diver once and thought it was a little big but I'm willing to forgo that if it's super comfy and doesn't like huge on my wrist (6.75ish). I sold my BP cause it was too big but I had the Speedmaster 9300, which is 44mm and I thought it was a great size. Do you wear it as a daily beater? If not, why?Am I gonna regret losing the 15400 for the diver? Bear in mind that I'm a serial flipper and I rarely look back (except in the case of the HULK, which I've owned 3 times now). All assistance is appreciated. AP rock on!

BB Bracelet Removal - I'm gonna lose it!
OK Rolex/Tudor veterans, please help me before I lose my freaking mind! Trying to replace the steel black bay bracelet with the factory fabric strap. What in the world am I doing wrong? I have watched videos and I swear for the life of me I can't get the damn thing off. I have a spring bar removal, I also tried a push pin. I just can't get the one side to hold in the compressed position while I try to remove the opposite side. There has to be a trick to this I can't figure out. HELP!!!!
