Rik Dietel
Guys I need a service and polish on my Planet Ocean. Is Rik still the best way to go? Thanks in advance for the advice!

Advise needed...Where have I gone wrong as a parent?
My son is a working on a PhD in high-energy particle physics (and has used using high-desnity magnetic fields), and expects to graduate in about a year. This Thanksgiving we visited the Rolex and Omega AD's in his area, to look at watches for myself (I got a nice Omega PO a month ago, another story), and get some feedback on what kind of watch he would like for graduation.The interesting part: He does not wear a watch, owns one but does not wear it, and no interested in a watch! Hay, dad's gonna spring for a Rolex Milgaus or a Omega Aqua Terra Anti-Magnetic, and there's no interest!! Arghhhh!!! Where have I failed?!!Advise requested...

How hard is 5167 to source in the UK ?
Decided back in May that my next purchase would be 5167 on rubber strap. My first Patek.I have an AP RO and do not what another bracelet watch hence not considered the 5711.My usual AD told me should have one coming in end June/July and it still has not arrived.Happened to pass another AD last week that told have one in but someone was ahead of me and was viewing it on monday. It turns out that is the bracelet version and the other person has passed on it. Now been given the hard sell that Patek will not be supplying these as rubber only option and if pay steel price they will throw in rubber strap and deployment in for free( Still 2k more then rubber only version)Can anyone shed anylight if Patek are controlling 5167 supply with just rubber straps. If this is really the case guessing my usual AD will probably not get one in near future ?I'm not really keen to source from overseas due to possible VAT hit and ideally want totally brandnew watch ( 1st owner )Any advise/thoughts would be
