26470ST on bracelet
Looking into picking up a bracelet for my 26470ST black dial and wanted to see some photos of a 26470ST on bracelet. Sam sent me a picture when i picked up the watch which has been stuck in the back of my head (thanks sam). I just had 2 Q's:1. on my 26320OR i noticed the bracelet is very similar in thickness to the rubber strap. How thick is the bracelet on the ROO compared to the rubber. Anyone that can take a side by side photo i would greatly appreciate.2. Is there an option for me to get the Titanium bracelet? Will it match the steel? I don't think the steel will be heavy as I'm used to gold but figured it might be a interesting mix but not sure if the colors of titanium & steel would match up.

My new 2010 Limited Edition Cosmonaute
I've purchased #39 of only 250 steel/gold 2010 Cosmonautes made. It is now my new favourite watch. Like it? (shot with my Blackberry).

SMPc accuracy questions
Hi all, My new SMPc 41, blue dial, bond, is about two months old. The watch initially ran at about +4.2-+5.0 second per day, which I was fine with of course. Within specs. Now into my third month, it seems to be running even better, at +2.2 second per day. Which I am super happy with. I want to say I AM NOT COMPLAINING! I just some questions.. should a brand new watch vary this much within the first 2 months? Most watches I have owned, Rolex, usually stay pretty solid at one deviation for a long time. Again, just curious to ask some other experts their thoughts. Thanks and cheers to Friday.

A Treasured Patek �C Stolen Long Ago �C Can Archive Records be Retrieved?
My father-in-law Mike bought a simple manual wind Patek while traveling in Switzerland with his wife in the 1950s. My wife, then of school age, remembers the pride with which her dad displayed his new Patek after his return home. Mike wore that Patek for years and he was still wearing it daily in the early 2000s. I doubt that his Patek was ever serviced. Sadly, Mike's treasured Patek was stolen in about 2004, a year before Mike's death. My wife and I were clueless about fine timepieces and we had no idea at the time that the watch may have been registered in the Patek archives.I have only a vague recollection of Mike's watch but would guess it was a member of the Calatrava 96-series. I wonder if it would be possible to find a record of Mike's watch in the Patek archives. And, although we would be unable to claim the watch today, it would be interesting to learn if Patek has serviced Mike's watch in recent years.Can the Patek archives be searched with only the original watch own
