First AP !
Hi boys ! Very happy to say that I have my first AP on the way, after a few Rolex I finally tried on the silver dial 15400 and I was hooked.Is there anything I need to know ? I'm very used to Rolex being built like tanks I'm just wondering if there's something I should know about. Like Omega's 'don't change the date between 10 and 2'. My mindset with Rolex has been to send for service only when needed, it always ended up being cheaper then just sending it in every 5 years even if something happen to break. I'm talking 10 years or so not 20-30. Should I be more careful with the AP ?What about swimming with the AP ?I'm sure this is mostly dumb questions just rather be safe then sorry.

Exceeded my expectations!!!
I've been thinking about the 5711 for ages, hoping to see it in the flesh at some point, but never did. Finally took the plunge after much enabling from you guys. Was very lucky to find one at my local AD. I rang the London boutique out of curiosity to see what their take was regarding the 40th anniversary and whether I should wait? Their reply was that I was lucky to be offered a 5711 in blue,,,they have a 3 year waiting list and their opinion was that Patek purists would see the current 5711 as more desirable than any future 'upgrade', although they had no knowledge of what may be launched in November. Their gut feeling was that the most likely scenario would be a new complication. Anyway,,,back to the watch, I arrived nervously at the AD and was presented with the 5711 in its vacuum packed box,,,initial impressions 'ok' viewing it through the plastic. However, on opening the box and removing the watch, I was grinning from ear to ear and will even admit to feeling a little emotional,

New GMT is why the Super Jublee is Soooo Hard to get!
I've been looking for a 63600 for several months now. They are hard to find and the prices have shot up. Now we see why... The new Pepsi GMT is sporting a Jubilee bracelet!Rolex clearly wanted to take them off the market before they released the new GMT at Baselworld 2018.

GMT 2 Question
Not being familiar with GMT's as I am with the DJ's, I am curious if Rolex made a 16713 with a champagne serti dial .... Diamond and ruby markers. I do believe such a dial was available on a solid gold model, but I'm not sure about the two tones. Thanks, Robbie

New co-branding?
