In Da CLUB
Well, that's it, officially in the club, just got the diver at the AP private showroom, was given a very cool travel pouch for it, nicer than the Patek travel pouch.The watch is awesome, of course I am a little in shock size size compared with my 5712, but I am sure I will get used to it, anyways I am leaving on holidays in 4 days and am taking only the diver, the Patek stays at home��Here's a few pics, again sorry for the crappy quality, I have an excellent camera but it's not digital��1a8bea10fda12d46622d7053b40d84c25ed7b31d25525bebb39d5e8e29075f49.jpg4deae9648feeda19a2c18728af25041fb89b6ef57b46ffaf1b91bbe79e3ed945.jpg7e676b1f3dd6ba7dc67834be145f0356fb866d0ba67301be3b4289b720890772.jpg29db96e180d47e9c013fa79f6e7b02c8918a4c8b9d94add6189973fb7a3b7388.jpg6071662c5205b9544a13e159d2b860a2c422f74a5a8da5783e4622b7eb579d03.jpg

Patek RG discoloration
I'm not sure whether this has ever come up before.My wife owns a ladys 33mm RG Nautilus, say about 5yr old or so, and she wears it as her daily. It has a bunch of microscratches/deskdive scratches and all, but no major dings of any sort. I started to realize one day that it started to look quite YGish, and needless to say when I compare it to new RG Nautilus it is quite yellowish.Now according to the AD, they said its quite normal as the copper mixed in with the RG oxidizes over time changing the hue/color. They claim that a light polish during service should bring the original color back, but I'm one of those against polishing unless really necessary. Does anyone know this for a fact?I have never seen this with Rolex's everrose gold, and I have not owned a Patek RG piece long enough to experience this and at the same time I take good care of my watches. I'm wondering whether having more scratches will expose the RG to more discoloration/oxidation???

Rubber strap option for 5167
Do any of you guys know if the strap and bracelet are interchangeable? It would be nice to throw the rubber on once in a while if possible. The above message was not meant in any sexual nature, despite my mind being in the gutter.

Will the ceramic BLRO insert fit on the BLNR?
So I'm in love with the GMT Pepsi but can't find one in a decent shape and the white gold one is rediculously expensive. Would I be able to get the BLRO ceramic insert?Will it fit in the current 116710?What do you guys think of that idea?Thanks for any thoughts
