Cracked ceramic case update
Hi all, For those who followed or didn't, my chipped or most likely cracked ceramic case had been sent to Le Brassus, they contacted me today to apologize for the delay, about 2 months, but they had to conduct many tests on it, and they will give me back the watch repaired in mid August, at AP's expense.Since you can't repair ceramic that only means a new case, I wrote them back saying I would like to know what were the reasons for this happening, but would understand if they preferred to keep it confidential, since no shock was involved the only reason must have been a not very well made ceramic case.I will update if I get any other details on the reasons.So once again their reputation is verified, they didn't one second do what other brands might have done, imply that it was due to a shock or another wrongdoing on my part.Would have liked to have it for the beach in Odessa this summer, but I will have it for the next holidays.Good point for AP on this one you can buy knowing they wi

15202 Jumbo vs 5167? Pics + poll
Hey guys. Back with a Dilemma of course.Let me just point out that my purchase for either of these watches will be in Stainless Steel.The RG was the only one avail for both, but gives you guys an idea.Which is your pick?I think the two make a killer combo, however that is not in the budget. I have already decided that I prefer the 15202 over the 5711 as my genta design watch.The 5167 IMO is just a completely different watch. Very cool, very subtle, and a cool casual look.I can only buy one, and the next purchase will have to wait quite a long time as I will be tied with some other things.Between these two pieces. Which would you pick?Thanks guys

Panerai Values?
I am an avid Rolex loyalist (with one Breitling Bentley Motors in the collection). I am intrigued by the Panerai piece. Not really familiar with the Brand by collection, my question is, Do Panerai's hold (go up) value like Rolex? Is there certain models that are better than others? Thanks in advance for any input.
