Cartier PASHA SEATIMER MEN'S STAINLESS STEEL BLACK DIAL

New arrival just in time for my daughter's wedding
New arrival just in time for my daughter's weddingLast Friday, the day before by daughter's wedding, I had the opportunity to buy a new IWC Portuguese Perpetual Calendar for this very special occasion in my family. I had been expecting to get a WG Perpetual Calendar, but this RG one became available at my AD and I jumped on it to wear to the wedding and the reception. I am so happy with the two new additions to my family. My new son-in-law and my new IWC.This is a quick couple of shots of this beauty. More photos will follow as I get the professional shots from the wedding. The Perpetual Calendar is a very special watch. All functions are controlled from the crown and it will only miss one moon phase in the next 577.5 years, not that I or my great-great-great grandchildren will know. The watch has many complications: day, date, month, four-digit year display, and the moon phases as well as a power reserve display and small seconds hand. This watch has a 7 day power reserve. It utilizes

AP RO for a Daytona - would you trade?
Hi guys,I have a 116520 Daytona, which I like. However, I still cant get over the RO, which was on my shortlist when buying the Daytona.I finally decided to go for the Daytona based on rugged design, good value and the overall look of it (and of course the icon status...)They are about the same price in the pre-loved market (Im thinking about the 116520 vs. AP 15300) so an even trade would be possible I guessOne of the reasons not chosing the AP was the high service cost and the more delicate feel of it (e.g. lower WR and more easily scratched) - but is this true or nothing to worry about?To conlude my long rant - would you trade a Daytona for a Royal Oak?(I guess I will get subjective answers here...)

Braclet Links
Hi guys. At the risk of committing a breach of etiquette, I have a question about the braclet on my Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean. I have 6 links on the six o clock side and 8 on the 12 o clock side. It originally came with an extra half link on the six o clock side but I had it removed.My question is should I have an equal number on each side? I've read the most watches have less on the six o clock side becasue of wrist shape and because gravity wants to pull it down around the wrist. As far as I can tell the case is centered on my wrist and the clasp is centered on the underside of my wristHow do you wear your watches? Do you have uneven links on each side of the clasp. And this is how the AD set it up for me. Lastly, is this unique to this watch, perhaps?Sorry about this being on a Rolex forum, but I trust the members here above anyone else.Thanks.

Possible discount on 5712's?
I am going to order one monday from the Paris boutique, was wondering if a discount was a possible thing or if it's no use to mention it?Since in many boutiques, Panerai for example, they look at you when you ask for one as if you were crazy, if it's the same thing with PP better to avoid than to get the cold shower answer: Non Monsieur, Patek philippe does not do discounts, with that special tone of voice, where you have the impression the guy is thinking you are buying a 20K + watch and you want a discount? How very cheap of you¡­Went there just one time they were quite courteous, since there was nobody we talked about watches with the salesman and I tried a few, quite nice, whereas in some boutiques the experience was terrible, again Panerai for example, you feel like a homeless who came in to ask for a few bucks by the way they talk to you, I don't know in the US but here some boutiques and AD's are awful whereas some are great.The worse is in Ukraine where I live, in luxury watch
