From Rose to Gold...
Just wanted to share a few pictures from a gorgeous evening in Florida.I am really loving RG, and find myself constantly taking pictures because my watch changes colors based on different times of day, inside and outside, sunny and overcast and simple angles from the sun.The four pics below were all taken within 3 minutes at a couple different angles and you can see the progession from Rose/Pinkish hue to Yellowish/Golden Gold.And having a watch with such impeccable finishing as this PP makes it even a greater delight.FROM ROSE TO GOLD2016-07-23_22-39-53.jpg2016-07-23_22-41-37.jpg2016-07-23_22-42-30.jpg2016-07-23_22-43-14.jpg

A long lost Patek Philippe
True Story:My grandfather bought a Patek Philippe wristwatch sometime between the 1930's and 1950's. I know nothing about it other than it was gold and it meant a lot to him. In 1980, he died in the hospital of complications from lung cancer surgery at 75 years old. As he was dying, he told my father that he had hidden the Patek in the attic of their home, and hoped he could find it. In 1982, my grandmother sold the house. The night before escrow closed, my father and I spent a long evening in the hot attic pulling various floorboards looking for this watch. We never located it. I was 10 years old at the time, and it furthered my love in fine watches.I have stayed in contact with the owners of my grandparents' house. They are only the second owners (built in 1926-27). I hope to be able to access the attic once again when they sell the house, and perhaps be able to find this elusive family heirloom/treasure. Perhaps it will be gone forever, perhaps I will never find it or have

New 114060 Engraved Marker Question
Hi guys - second question about my new 114060 (which I love!). One of the engraved markers looks a little different to all the others - The 55 minute marker, the bottom 1/4 seems to be a slightly different color. All the others are even. Is this Normal?This is my first Rolex, am a bit paranoid etc. not looking for perfection, just to understand whats reasonable to expect for a brand new watch from an AD. My wife however thinks I'm losing it :-)

Rolex Appraisal
Went to my local Rolex AD this weekend and brought my submariner in with box and all the papers for an appraisal so I can insure the watch. The owner of the store was there and asked if I was the original owner of the watch, to which I said no ( as there is someone else's name on the warranty card). I explained that I bought this online from a trusted preowned seller. He refused to give me an appraisal on the watch because I wasn't the original owner......Is this common?He also acted pretty snobbish when I told him where I bought the watch......funny as his his shop was completely empty of customer as per usual.....
