Need help identifying older women's model
This was a gift from my grandfather to grandmother passed down to my parents and now they're giving it to me. Until recently I had no idea that this was in my parents safety deposit box and they didn't give the watch much thought. They don't have any of the original papers or box. As far as my dad remembers it was given to my grandma in the 50s but that's just on memory. They also don't know where it was purchased, but I'm assuming somewhere in the pnw or west coast but I could be wrong. Any help here would be appreciated. I'm going to reach out to my local AD but figured I'd post it here too.

Better movement - Audemars Piguet ROO or Rolex?
I have read a couple of reviews on both watches - and while there will always be fanatics for both brands, I am curious of your thoughts:Which watch company has a better movement - Audemars Piguet or Rolex?So specifically I am comparing a Royal Oak Offshore to a Daytona. Based on jewels, rotations per hour, accuracy, certification, etc. The other thing to sort of makes me question AP - what do you guys think of the fact that the chronograph pushers are not alighted with the crown? Just something that would cause my OCD to act up :)

Conversion from hoarding all brands to Patek
Some might know me from here or other forum but at the end my landmark its been impulsive buying until now. It might be interesting for some and it might be boring for others but here it is. I always say Ignorance is a bliss and it reflects in various situations in life but in watches is even more evident. I went crazy and bought as many iconic watches from different as I could, but soon enough I discovered a few of things:1) The week has 7 days, and to truly enjoy your watches is better to have 3-4 watches that you truly love than 20 watches (sorry 19). Because of those many watches you will wear your favorites little or you end up not wearing a lot of them.2) As much as I want them to be all keepers, I flip them and when you flip you loose $$$$$. Isn't better to enjoy them and loose as little as possible ? hell yeah!! whats the Formula : Patek and Rolex. Yes that's the prescription my doc gave me Of course we are allow to deviate a little bit from that prescription: AP and Lange wou

Rolex VS Patek
I often hear people saying that Patek, or AP are better watches then Rolex. Why is that? I know there are made a lot less Patek's then Rolex's and that in general a patek is more expensive then a Rolex. I also know that Patek got lot's of watches with more complications then a Rolex. But as fare as I know that is more or less it.I do not know who got the best movements wean it comes to toughness and durability of the brands. Anyone know this? I would guess that if Rolex does not got the best they are very close. But I do know that most Rolex's are more water proof then most Patek's, I know Rolex use 904L steel, while patek use 316L. I know Rolex got everose gold, while Patek just got rosegold. So from my point of view it seems like a Rolex, will withstand the test of time and daily use better then a Patek? And for me that is what is important. The price, the amount of watches produced is not of great importance to me. Neither are the complications. I only really need date and time, th

Owners of White Dial Nautilus (5711/1A-011)
Read in another forum from another owner that the lume for the white dial is different from those from the blue dial. Apparently, the lume does not charge with regular sunlight or general light and will only charge under a halogen light bulb or light box. This is rather weird, as the lume would be sort of useless.Wondering did existing owner experience the same issues or it is just a one-off?Would love to see some normal charging lume shots of a white nautilus.
