3120 Calibre Rotor Change
Hi Guys,So I've noticed a change in the rotor on the 3120 calibre on the current models. It appears that AP have reduced the amount of material/gold being used by cutting away at the underside. You can make out the profile from the two pictures below. The first picture is the older version and the second picture is the newer version. When I first noticed this 'new' rotor on my watch I was disappointed, since I like the profile and fullness of the old rotor. I know you can't really see it but from all the pictures I saw on the internet and pinterest the images were of the old rotor which just looked nice since its profile followed that of the movement beneath (3rd pic). So prices go up and they use less gold to save more, which is the only reason I can see. Would there be any other benefit for the new style of rotor? Less resistance? Anyway, it's just an observation I noticed and I didn't find any info on the forum or internet so thought I'd see if any of you guys had noticed.RegardsM.

Thoughts on Panda
I have dabbled in AP once before but ended up flipping my 41mm ROC for a Skydweller and have no regrets. That said it meant my collection turming 100% Rolex and with two GMTs I have got to thinking I would like a chrono. I would consider flipping one (216570 exp2) for a white face chronograph but not sure which - I found the RoC a scratch magnet and coupled with the countless stories of QC issues in other AP watches I was happy to get out and be done with AP but my wife has a lady oak and Millenary and I can't help but feel drawn back in. I wouldn't go bracelet but leather would be OK - any thoughts on Panda.?..

Help/ opinions sought recent FOIS Speedmaster
All,Just looking for opinions and advice please.Bought a new First Omega In Space (FOIS) Speedmaster brand new via mail order from a reputable small chain of UK Jewellers.The watch arrived yesterday, perfectly packaged and all looked fine until I put the watch on and I can clearly see the difference in colour between the 2 leather sides of the strap. Also, both sides are darker brown near the buckle end. It really does look like the watch has been in a shop window for some significant period of time and the strap has faded in the sunlight. I have attached photos but the iphone camera doesn't seem to have picked up the difference well - in reality it is much worse.I have contacted the jeweller last night via a polite email and await their response about to doThe number of the watch is low 1,000's which could suggest the watch has sat around at the dealers for some time (recent Omega Forum posts suggest 4k + numbers are in the wild).I am thinking that the dealer should replace the str

What to do with my submariner ?
Hey guys ,I've owned this submariner for around 8 months now and I have really enjoyed it. Recently I noticed I have a copper looking substance on the underside of the crystal a bit right of center. Would you guys get this fixed ? I'm curious about shipping to Rsc. Any risk of them scratching the watch repairing it ?I am pretty disappointed as I selected this sub from about 4 examples because it had good alignment of the cyclops , bezel , and engraved rehaut.
