Help with a ref. number on AP watch
Hi Rolex Forums,I'm new in here, so I hope that you will receive me well, I might not spell it all right, hope you can understand anyway :)The thing is that recently there was an Audemars Piguet watch at an auction at Bruun-Rasmussen auction house in Denmark where I live. Unfortunately, I didn't win the auction, but I really liked that watch so now I'm looking for another but so far I have not been able to find just a single picture of an identical watch, even after several hours of Googling. I was hoping that maybe one of you could help me with a reference number or maybe even a name. I have tried emailing Bruun-Rasmussen, but they haven't replied. I have some information about it:Casing, needles (aren't they called that?), timemarkers and buckle are all 18kt goldWhite dialDiameter is stated to be 27mmAround year 1985Caliber 2003/1Very thin - I tried it, about 3-5mm is my best guessManual winding Little blue stone on the thing that you wind it up with. Same concept as with the Cartier

It was my father's 60th birthday over the weekend. For Koreans, the 1st and 60th birthdays are huge milestones.I was on here a few months ago asking for advice on what watch to get him. (Thread: .rolexforums/showthread.php?t=399375) Ended up going with the best advice and asked my mother what he wanted.My brother and I got him an Omega AT >15000 Gauss which he tried on at an AD and really liked. My father and his siblings got my grandfather an Omega for his 60th so I guess this is a tradition now. My brother recently got my grandfather's watch serviced and is wearing it now after years of hibernation.I'd like to thank DavidSW for an easy transaction and TRF for introducing me to its trusted sellers.Some pics for your enjoyment!
My "greatest regret from not buying" moment...
For some reason, perhaps an unhealthy combination of booze and pills (totally kidding about that), I was having a remembering my greatest regret from not buying moment this evening and it turns out that it was actually over an Omega. About nine years ago (you know, when MSRP on a Seamaster 300M chronometer was $1,750), when I was still in college, I was in a jeweler in my home town and what did they have left in their case? A NOS Omega Dynamic chronograph. Retail on it was something ridiculously low, like $895 and I could have gotten a decent discount on it, but for a guy in school it still seemed like too much. Then, the other day I saw a used one for $1,250... So, anyone else have a moment like this?

When changing the date at the end of the month, do you use the pin pusher or the winding crown?
