Dial replacement on 15400
Hi everyone,New to the watch world. I have recently taken interest in a watch.. it was a royal oak 15400, and was originally a black dial. The previous owner had sent it to a AP authorized service dealer to have the dial switched out from black to blue. Is there any cause for concern over here? From what i've read it's not too common, or even at all, that they switch to blue dials from white or black dials, as they are 'boutique' or special editions. The seller has sent me the invoice/service report outlining that they did do a dial swap from black to blue and I contacted the service dealer as well in order to confirm that the report is authentic and it was.I'm just a little worried because of what i've read. I just want to make sure that it's legitimate. The store I am buying from is very reputable and have been in the business for a very long time. Also, previous owner had apparently paid significant sum for them to switch it out.I appreciate your help!I've attached a picture of the

AP ss diver vs Patek aquanaut 5165
Hi Friends, im new in TRF and ive been a silent reader so far. Now im in a big dilemma and need your guys advise on this.I have my ss diver 15703 and loving it so far (gorgeous watch indeed). But ive been deeply in love in aquanaut both 5165 or 5167 since last year. For me aquanaut is much better watch than nautilus (i know i know most of you guys wont think the same). And just yesterday i got offer from a watch dealer that they have a 5165 preowned with cert only without boxes. Because i kinda have no budget to purchase a new watch, the only option at this moment to get 5165 is to switch it with ap 15703. This is the only watch that i have that have the closest value to 5165. So what do you guys think bout this offer? Just for your info is i need to pay around usd3500 more to upgrade to 5165 with no box and only have the certificate on it. Thanks in advance for your advise.

Does placing a special order with AD work timely?
I'm ready to add a Hulk to my collection, and for what it is worth, I've wanted the LV long before it became the big thing. Now that I have funds in hand ready to go, I've contacted several AD's about being added to their wait list, and they have all encouraged me to special order the Hulk through them. One AD specifically told me today ..The best option, and the one I would recommend if you know with absolute certainty that this watch is the one you want, is to come in and place a special order for it, at which point we would order that watch specifically for you. Our most recent wait times for the green dial Submariner have been about 3-6 months, but Rolex does generally prioritize filling paid orders.Does anyone here have experience with placing a special order, high demand Rolex here in the U.S.? Did the AD deliver? What kind of time frame did it take? I really appreciate any help. Oh, and for whatever it's worth, I am not willing to pay a reseller a price over MSRP.
