5208p
Greetings TRF,A few months ago I started a thread with a little review of the Patek Philippe 5235g. In this review I thought that, despite the fact that I do not own this timepiece, I could give you my opinion on a couple of points regarding it. Ever since I did that (and discussed those points with other great members around here) I've had the idea of doing another one on a piece that I consider really special, the Patek Philippe 5208p.Here are some personal observations about this timepiece:- In my very first review I tried to be as critical (without trying to sound pompous or arrogant) as I could about the Patek Philippe regulator. Alas (although I think it is a very good thing) I don't think I can find a bad thing to say about this one. The dial, case, movement and complications are just outstanding and I think this particular watch really helps us to appreciate the brand's quality and its watchmakers' talent: finding a way to make a triple complications watch look that simple is s

First Rolex experience , Was i wrong expecting perfection to be perfect ?
Having lusted after one of these watches for as long as I remember , i finally had the money to be able to buy one and started searching for a two tone sub around Christmas.Forward two months of wait list and I had several AD's call me with stock , great !Went to view the first one and found the rehaut misalignment issue pictured here ( bad lighting but look at how the indcie is near enough under the backbone of the E ) :So left in favor of taking a look at some others , if this was going to be the norm i would think about living with it, the AD said Rolex told them this was within their specifications but most pictures i looked at online didn't have this issue. I had pictures sent from the AD's of 4 more watches most similar , some worse some marginally better , One looked great ! , So off I went on a few hours trip to view this watch with high hopes. Alignment was spot on but straight away when looking in hand I noticed a small mark on the 12 triangle border. Now this mark was only

Rolex Tudor Servicing Cost
Hi there! I recently inherited a Cotton Bowl Classic Rolex/Tudor Day-Date (7017/0) (autowinding) from my Grandfather who was on the Nebraska coaching staff for the 1974 Cotton Bowl. To my knowledge, the watch has either never been worn or was very seldomly worn. This also means that I don't believe it has been serviced since 1974. I fully wound it and the second hand works perfectly, but the minute and hour hands run very slow. I know almost nothing about watches, but I'm wondering if anyone on here can help me with a ballpark estimate of what I should expect to spend to have it properly serviced. I'd like to avoid getting taken to the cleaners due to my lack of experience.Thanks in advance for your replies!Ben

First Tudor, First Bronze, First Black Bay (BBB)
Lots of firsts with this new one added to my collection. There are so many different variations in the shade of the bronze I am very excited to have this piece and can't wait to see how the patina starts to develop.
