Questions on new 2014 moonwatch
Couldn't resist wearing this on the new velcro, so if it goes as planned I will be posting an unboxing in the coming days.I know the sapphire sandwich is neither a true moonwatch nor NASA space qualified, but after hearing so much about the robustness of the 1861/1863 and how little have changed since Apollo 11, I'm drawn to enjoy it with a display back model.The trade off is sapphire over hesalite, which I'm ok with.Couple questions:Do we know if this model still comes with a red dot?How well has yours held up, any reports of it failing within warranty period?In terms of sourcing at MSRP $6250, would you:1) Joma at 37% off, no Omega warranty2) A non-AD in DC at 28% off, warranty another AD stamped3) Local AD with repeat business at 16% off with tax?

Patek with a restoration dial - Are they still desirable?
While browsing around my local market, I came across a Patek Calatrava from the mid-late 1940s. Upon talking to the dealer, he indicated that patek replaced/restored the dial sometime around the 60s. I guess and extract from the archive would confirm that.Generally, I prefer all original, but I've never come across a Patek restored/replaced dial before. If it was anyone else doing the restoration I would be hesitant. It certainly isn't shined and new looking. Still has 50 years of age on it.Does an actual Patek restoration affect the value or desirability from collectors?

Annoyed about AD experience
Hello everyone,I'm new to the forum and Rolexes in general.I have always wanted to start a real collection of these luxury watches and both my wife and I have been very fortunate to receive huge promotions recently which now allow this to become reality. For my first Rolex I really want a BLNR and also concurrently want to get my wife a new Diamond Tag Heuer Carrera. (I know!! BUT she has her heart set on this model when she saw it.) I also want to get her, her first Rolex for our anniversary. I want to be put on the list for a 43 mm sea dweller for myself and a Daytona C for my father as a thank you for all he has done for me in my earlier years to help me get where I am today. Anyways, armed with vast knowledge from TRF as I have been lurking the last year or so yesterday I set out to go try and make deal(s) happen at all of my close dealers to see stock and overall friendliness and try to develop a relationship but quickly realized that this is going to be a lot harder than I
