Tried registering my pre-owned AP on the website.
Hi fellow AP owners.I just picked up my first AP (ROO Safari)....and I must say it is a stunner.My question:I tried using the serial number and warranty number to register the watch with AP. The site keeps telling me that the data is incorrect. The only thing I can think of is that the original owner registered it already and thus it won't allow me to register. Does anyone have any ideas?Thanks in advance.

In The Wild: Brand New 5712
Apologize for no photos, but I did not bring my camera.So we are at a Newcomers Club of La Jolla event, Western themed party.And we are seated randomly. So I noticed the guy next to me was rocking a 5712 (at first I thought it was a 5711). Well, I asked him about his Nautilus and he had just bought in a few days ago from our local PP dealer, and we began a 2 hour watch discussion, much to the consternation of both of our wives and the others at the table. Even though both our wives wore Rolexes, they are not really into watches.He showed me photos on his phone of his 15 watch collection, which included several Pateks, a Rolex DSSD, a GP, a minute repeater, an IWC, and so on. He specializes in complications.He uses a microscope to examine the finishing on his watch and has taken some stunning shots of the movements. He struck me as a loner and does not participate in forums.

Wearing a PP... Is it different?
Hi guys, Obviously this is a very niche and cool place to be, and I do feel out of place posting here as I do not have a PP, and also on TRF sometimes I feel odd as I have 'just' a submariner (a phrase that would sound cocky to the every day person but here it's really just a cheap Rolex)But I am wondering...Do you spend a lot of time worrying about the PP on your wrist? Some of you have easily $500k++ in PP, some PP even costing more than that in one watch..After just a couple of months with my sub, it is no longer mint but has scratches on the bracelet and lugs. It's stainless steel, Patek's are precious metal which is even more scratch prone. A scratch on a SS sub, not a huge deal, it will polish out okay if I want it to, and it's not a hugely expensive Rolex anyway, (although still a nice piece that deserves me being careful) but some of this subform member's watches would easily lose the value of my Rolex by an accidental bump into something hard and metallic. I guess what I a
