Ademars Piguet movement in Chanel J12
I wonder if you AP experts know of the quality of the movement used in a Chanel J12 automatic. According to the Chanel brochure, AP movements are used in their watches.Thanks for any help.J. Alan

Switching Breitling deployant between straps
I have a new Navitimer coming in this week (the wait is killing me!!) and I ordered it with an OEM deployant strap as I already have a spare OEM strap and deployant (no holes). I borrowed a spring bar tool from my friend (one end with fork) but I'm afraid to use it. To remove the buckle(?) is pretty easy as the spring bar ends are exposed. However, there doesn't seem to be much room, if any, to remove the strap from the other end (clasp?). Is there a way to do this without ruining the leather around the ends and the clasp? I think I should at least put Scotch tape around the clasp.

All?!?!
Have mine on order! A 42mm ok bracelet with black ceramic bezel and orange 3,6,9. I cannot wait! I have been seeing people post pictures of their new 8500 series PO's throughout the board but was hoping to get a thread going to group them all.

Gents,Here she is, a wait since 7am 3/16/16. Here's my story. So, I've owned many many many BNIB sports Rolex from ADs, ss and pm. I HAD two preferred dealers that HAD historically taken care of me. I had a significant history with each. Then, it happened, both my key salespeople left the stores. So, I Became yesterday's news and kind of been the forgotten one. Tried several techniques like pester them, ignore them, ask for managers all etc. , all to no avail. They were each ok with feeding VIPs (which I kinda thought I was.....there is ALWAYS a bigger fish) and feeding me excuses. So I did what any determined TRFer should do but is often too lazy to do. I pounded the phones to call new dealers all across the USA. It only takes one, and it worked, black dial obtained within three weeks of initial contact. So now, back to pestering the old firms and asking about white. Same BS and frustration off the charts. So here comes .....white, from the cold call AD 11months after re
