San Francisco AD
Shapur is the name and they have quite a window display. Here are a couple pictures. Taken through two layers of what I would think is unbreakable and bulletproof glass!

Another Seamaster 'Serial No. Question'
I have a MY 2000+ Sea master Chrono, with no serial number at the 7 o'clock position on rear of lug. It was purchased new on the internet, and I am positive its legit.The papers and box were not retained, so I can't use them to validate authenticity, to have serviced or even out up for sale.Any and all help would be greatly appreciated for this perfect condition stainless Sea master.

Excellent 1st Father's Day!!!
My first Father's day and the wife surprises me with an excellent gift... First she gets me cuff links with watch movements on them saying she couldn't get me a watch...... Then I come back in the room and there's a box... In it from Fr. John's AD... My new PO 8500 in 45.5mm!!!! Since I'm new to these auto watches and Omega in general here's my first couple questions....1) Is the minutes hand supposed to be a different color than the hours hand, it looks bluish2) I just started wearing it today after getting it sized at a Boutique (another about that), if it needs to wound how do I know it does and how do I do it!!!Pics will be posted soon!!!

Vintage PP 96 Calatrava in SS
Hey gang,For all you vintage guys out there, I wanted to get a feel for opinions on the vintage 96 Calatrava. I love a Calatrava in SS, and I surely like the 565 as it's a 35mm model, but those tend to be out of my comfort range price-wise. The 96 is a very small 30-31mm case, but otherwise perfect watch IMO. It seems to be a good 15K (or so) less than the 565, and I assume this is due to the size. Would love to get opinions on the investment/wear-ability/serviceability potential for this little guy. Surely some will say it's too small, and indeed it is about as small as you can go for a man's watch, but with the simple case design and Arabic dial, esp in SS, I feel there is no mistaking this is a man's watch. I've also heard some (far more knowledgeable than myself) speculate that smaller case sizes are starting to make a comeback. Thanks as always for sharing opinions and knowledge with a relative newcomer to Patek!

Is this a good price on a BNIB Day Date 40 rose gold
I have been spending a good amount of money from my AD for sometime and all the watches in my signature have come from them with no waiting. My wife spends a significant amount also with them for jewelry.I have been thinking about buying myself a Day Date 40 in rose gold with the chocolate Roman numeral dial. I have been admiring my wife's day date 40 in YG. However, I have also been thinking about the Patek 5711 in rose gold or Audemars Piguet brick. But, both of those are more than double the price.Here is the deal: MSRP 37,550. My price is 30% off so it comes to $26,285 no tax.What do you think? Another Rolex for this deal or jump to th PP or AP.
