Does it have lume?
I'm a newbie to AP and I just received my AP ROO panda dial. I am used to Rolex with its amazing lume. My question is do AP's have any lume? The reason I ask is I can't see anything on my ROOin the dark. Just curious. Thanks

PO on medici with orange stitch
Hi, I recently purchased a new medici with orange stitch and installed it on my PO. I am a fan of curved end straps cuz I think the gap between the spring bars and lug is way too big (am I the only one who thinks so?) and have been thinking about OEM rubber but my small wirst (16.5mm) can't take OEMs so changed my streeing wheel. I want the buckle to be in the middle of my wrist and medici is the best option for me.My first impression on medici is that the leather is super soft and the colored stitch easily kills boredom. I decided not to cut the fixed keeper and leave the fang (upside down position) so that it fills the hole. Here are some photos. thanks for looking,JW in Vancouver

My newest Omega is not my newest Omega?
So I found a great deal on a Seamaster GMT great white and I love the look of this watch. I have been wanting a GMT watch for a while and snagged this one. Took it to my AD to get sized and he ran the bracelet through a machine that sterilized it and brought the finish to like new condition removing all scuffs and marks! I was blown away...until I tried it on. I don't know what the hell but it looks like a chicks watch when I am wearing it. My old 2254.50 didn't look and feel so small on me? Maybe because the bezel/dial are both black and it appears larger. This watch is just too small for my 'brick' wrists LOLHere's the wrist shot:So I decided I wasn't into it so I gave it away..............................................................To my wife and she loves it. Cool thing is that when I pop open the divers extension it fits me perfectly so we can both wear it!

Nice AD gave me some gifts
Hi allJust a story I wanted to share, I had a short break in York (UK) and in the hotel I was staying at they had the following book in my room...I was obviously very pleased about that! Turned out the same book is in every room (so it was not special treatment lol). So inside the book it had the name of the local AD and obviously I had to visit wearing my Breitling Colt!They are a lovely bunch and they could see my knowledge and enthusiasm for the brand (I flashed my Patek wallet lol). I told them about the book in the hotel and they obviously knew all about that. I asked if they had a spare copy of the book and they said yes and popped it in a nice bag for me. We carried on talking, I tried on the 5119r and showed pictures of my collection. Then a lady put a box on the table and said we want you to have this. A lovely Patek Philippe tie!! I was overwhelmed, I have bought nothing from them ever. They even invited me to their private party in November where they are going to have some

One watch guy (service time?)
What do you one watch guys do when your one watch goes in for service? Down time can be around 1 month, which seems like a huge amount of time to be with out a watch.I am in the market for my first Rolex and have thought about this. I have a daily beater (Steinhart), which I guess I will wear when my Rolex goes in for service.
