Molnar Fabry Tourbillon Art Nouveau Watch
With the increase in mass-produced luxury watches, truly limited runs (let alone unique pieces!) have never been a more attractive emotional and financial investment. Despite the global recession, the luxury watch industry seems to have not only escape unscathed, but rather has performed extremely well over the course of the last two decades.

Question for the board about AP durability for daily wear.....
......I posted on the general rolex forum my considerations for my next watch:RG YM with the oysterflex band vs the WG Daytona also with OF band .......or the PP 5726, or finally (the watch I'm most curious about): the AP 15202. But I got some feedback from one poster that his experience with the Jumbo was that it seemed a bit 'dainty' given its thin case and bracelet. I'm also considering the 15400 or 15450 if I can't get a 15202, and hope to look at many of these watches this June at a boutique. Any feedback on the durability of the SS AP Jumbo's or even the 15400 line up?Are they more 'special occasion' watches for most here or do some of you wear them frequently during the week and if so, how do have they held up to scratches relative to SS rolexes or PP or others?thanks

I have just put my Submariner (2004) in for a service and Rolex are telling me that bracelet is scratched and very worn, and needs replacing at a cost of ��1000.

Send it it Michael YoungWhat's the typical cost and duration for bracelet repair with MY? Will Rolex pickup on the repair and will that have any implications...?Thanks, Mark
