2 APs for 1 Rolex?
I posted this in the Rolex forum but thought to be fair I would post it here as well. I am considering selling my 44mm RG ROO and 40th anniversary Jumbo RO for a Platona. Am I crazy?

My new and only Breitling addition
Just added this to my watch collection. The navitimer was one of my grails. Just sent it out to Breitling USA to have it completely Over Hauled. I want it back in Like new condition. It was in 8.5 out 10 when I purchased it. I also bought OEM watch straps: 2 crocodiles brown and black. Also 3 calf leathers navy, golden brown and dark green. Expensive to say the least for those accessories.Navitimer D23322 Blingy. The straps are to dress it down and make it a bit understated when need be. I also have my Rolex 116610 subC. My goal is to collect Iconic watches from top brands. It took me awhile to buy this Breitling cause I was looking for a good value in the brand. I didn't want to buy new because I want the most BANG for my Bucks! This was in great condition and it was on the more expensive two tone bracelet.

Omega military find
This is not the sort of thing one expects to find at a flea market in country Queensland, maybe in the UK or the US but not here and I was quite taken aback when I spotted the two of them in a small cabinet on a guys stall amongst the bric a brac. He told me he purchased them over twenty years ago when he had a shop and hid them away as a future nest egg and now was the time to cash them in. The military Omega was more of a worry as I just dont see them in the flesh here, but I had known the guy for probably thirty odd years on and off from the market circuit and he was an honest operator. I always make a point of carrying my case openers with me whenever out on the hunt but today I had forgotten them so was unable to check serial numbers. I gave them a good look over and was familiar with the Speedies and was hoping that because of the raised logo on the dial in was going to be the earlier 321 movement. He was not giving them away and of course had the internet and knew the prices etc

This is getting silly

Scratch out of the box from AD
I hesitate to even post this but I am curious other people's thoughts. First and foremost, I admit some fault in this. What I am about to explain could have been prevented by me.I was looking at a new watch at the local AD. In short, the watch was beautiful and I saw no damage to it. I looked it over very carefully. I agreed to purchase it. They took it in the back to remove a few stickers and box it up. They brought it out and I paid and left. When I got home I took the watch out of the box and photographed it for insurance and placed it back in the box. A couple days later I started wearing it and I noticed a slight scratch on the bezel. At first, I was angry at myself. I thought I must have done it. Then after a day or two I went back and looked at the insurance photo I took. When I zoomed in I could see the scratch was there.How angry would you be about this? I can say with roughly 80% certainty that the scratch was not there when I examined the watch but I can not say
