Stretched bracelet
Any way to avoid a stretched SS bracelet? My LV is about 2 years old, and I am starting to notice some stretch on the links closest to the case, and not near the clasp. Any ideas what to do to avoid this, or is it nature of the beast.

another future oris owner looking for advice.
Hi all, I'm not sure if I've posted in the oris section before. If I did it was drooling over your watches. I've wanted an oris for a few years now, but never seemed to have enough $. I'd jump on deals on Invicta, Croton, seiko...Not bad watches but ready to move up a notch from my Hamilton khaki aviation tachymeter (which I love and is the flagship of my meeger fleet). It seems to me the Oris brand is the likely move. One problem is choosing the right one.So far I'm leaning toward the small seconds. Either the "black with orange indices, stainless bracelet", or that magnificent blue w/ S.S. . I LOVE the blue, but the orange is so unique. A skeleten back would be nice but I think thats only available on the Diver Date or the more expensive models. That would be one suggestion I'd like to hear from you. The next is where to purchase. Not any AD's close to me, so internet would be preferred. From what I read around here "muttley" (or Shayne I believe) seems to be the "go to guy". I'

Had a guest for dinner
My friend's Hmt pilot came to meet it's twin. They had a great time. Hope you have a great time viewing this threadThe really interesting part is that even though both are exactly the same watches, mine has a red seconds hand. You won't find 2 hmt pilots with exactly the same 12 marker as it is hand painted, hence all have a slight variation. Few people find the way its written weird but I just find it really cool. Its really sad that presently the company is in real bad shape and I fear it might shut down pretty soon. They have launched a new range of autos but that is also not doing too well.. The situation is so bad that currently I am on the lookout for 2 more pilots but can't seem to get them from anywhere.Thanks for viewing

An amazing AP Tour !!
I was planning a vacation to Florida and wanting to look at some AP's but couldn't find a dealer. I decided to call the service center. Well, long story short, after a phone call and a few emails, I was set up with a tour at the AP Service center in Clearwater. The tour was so enjoyable I wanted to share a little with my forum friends, so here goes:The entrance is very nondescript with some large beautiful trees out front. To give size perspective that is my Toyota LandCruiser dwarfed by the trees. 1.JPG 2.JPGWalking up to the door, I was wondering if I was even at the correct building until I saw the large AP etched in the doors. I was let in by a security guard and led to a waiting area with some nice reading material. Wish I had more time to read but they were very prompt.3.JPG 3.5.JPGI was introduced to a few people and met my tour guide (straight from Switzerland). I was even given a AP labcoat to wear.4.JPGThe first thing done when they receive a watch is take a high def video
