Quality Issues on new 15400??
Hi all,I bought my 15400OR new last month from a trusted source here and have had some issues with it. Nothing major but definitely something unexpected. 1. I had 2 of the octagonal screws come very loose. I had the tools at home to tighten all of them down where I noticed 2 more were starting to come loose. 2. I was wearing the watch yesterday, and the bar that holds my clasp almost fell out. I noticed the little screw to hold the bar and clasp in place had fallen out. Is this normal? I'm glad the bar didn't slide out completely where my watch would of fallen off my wrist. Who knows what could of happened then. I am hoping the AP Boutique in Beverly Hills can insert the RG screw on site and tighten everything else up.

Anyone have this hardcover book on Omega??
Omega HighlightsOnly $13 at Amazon...but wondering how it compares to say the Mondani Sub / GMT books...or others on Panerai:.amazon/gp/product/386...pf_rd_i=507846Thanks!< EDIT > Doh. Just realized it is not yet released...well, an scuttlebutt? Pretty cheap compared to others of its ilk.

New to the Panerai world
I've always like the clean look of Panerai watches, nice simple, nothing too crazy, and I have been looking for something as a treat for myself recently and was bouncing back and forth between the Yachtmaster, Navitimer, and the Luminor Marina. As you may have already guessed since I am posting in here which one I went with!So I took the plunge yesterday and got my first Panerai!a PAM00499. Looking forward to chatting up with the rest of you guys to learn more about these amazing watches!PS: Where is the best place to get a deployment clasp? I hate having to use the buckle to take this off each time.... Can anyone point me in the right direction? I don't want to get a fake, or be duped by a good replica. I want an OEM, brushed finish if possible.
