Help Choosing A One Watch Daily Wearer
Hello everyone. First off, I'm a long time lurker on the forums and grateful for all for the information (and enabling) I've gathered. Been saving up a while now for my first big purchase as a daily wearer. A recent stroke of luck at the casino finally put me over the top, and now I have the problem of making a final decision and pulling the trigger. I figure what better way to do so than seeking the advice of the fellow watch maniacs here?I've narrowed it down to these options:1) AP Royal Oak 15400/15450 (probably white dial)2) AP Offshore Diver (black)3) Rolex Datejust 41 126331 (Everose gold, Chocolate Dial, Jubilee, Fluted)All are pretty close in terms of price. I've been waffling back and forth on pretty much a daily basis. So I've tried to break it down into a list of pros/cons:Royal Oak: Pros:1) I love the bracelet and the overall finish of the piece. Just a beautiful watch.2) Exclusivity. There are no AP boutiques or AD's within a few hundred miles of where I live, so it se

Imperfections in 5711
Hello to everyone. I'm new in the forum and perhaps this topic has been already discussed here....The thing is that the other day I was looking my new 5711 white in the microscope and I could not fail to notice an small imperfection in the dial. Also the hand looks like it is corroded. The imperfection is the rib just below the Geneva nameThe funny thing is that I was looking at an article here and I see the same imperfection. Maybe it is too much focus on detail but for a watch of this price is annoying....Anyone else?https://professionalwatches/2015...hite-dial.htmlIMG_7197.jpgSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Patek Philippe from Sears?
Hello everyone, I have a question about my future mother in-laws Patek. I have yet to see the watch but I do have questions on what I know about it so far. It was her Grandmas watch which was purchased at Sears, in the 40s I believe, Has anyone heard about Sears carring Pateks? It does have a stretch metal band on it, So I can only assume this was a band put on in the 60s or 70s aftermarket. She did have it appraised, I think it came out to be around 3k or something I have no idea what condition it is in. I am sorry I do not have any pics, I will see her tomorrow and will get some pics then. My main interest is that it is from Sears, If anyone has info on what kind of watches Sears carried or any intereting facts that could pertain to this situation would be greatly appreiciated. All the info I have provided is second hand from my fiance I am not trying to start another clinton-rolex thread (if anyone saw that) And I do not have the watch on hand to take a picture of it, sorry
