Cartier Pasha Chrono

Sub is 20yrs old, this year
My first Sub will turn 20 this year. Purchased in 1989 from AD in Manhattan, I have worn daily to present date. I have purchased two other Subs since (green bezel and two-tone blue dial) but nothing is as much loved as my first. My new ones do not have that little jingle in the braclet, or the "old friend" feel.Happy birthday old friend.

Advice Requested: AD got my watch, but it's bezel is scratched!
So, I pretty much have my heart set on an IWC Spitfire Auto Chrono. My local AD (only one in town) was able to transfer one from another store for me to look at before buying. It arrived on schedule today, but I was informed that the bezel is scratched.The sales lady I'm working with said it's probably beyond being able to be polished out. If it was minorly scratched, I'd have no problem getting it polished out by my regular jeweler. My Omega had a bit of a scuba+rock accident where the bezel got REALLY badly damaged and he was able to polish it back to "like new" for me. She said she thinks a new bezel is required and it likely can't be polished, but given how badly my Omega was jacked, I'm not willing to believe that.So not being a total expert on watch parts, but what would that cost from IWC NY? They've already offered me (without even talking a deal) 20% off MSRP on the watch, essentially their entire store is 20% off. I was planning on walking in there and trying to get to

Weems..what's it worth?

New AP in the house!
I purchased a diver last year and having always wanted a ROO, I got rid of a piece or two that was getting no wear and started looking around. I had a Safari for a short time a couple years ago. Beautiful watch but at the time not for me. Anyway when AP released the new 44's last year I was immediately drawn to them . At first glance the SS was my choice. Having not tried them on do to no AD in my town, and lack of stock when I was able to stop in AD's while traveling, I became convinced through looking at pics only that the forged carbon was the one I would get. It had the cool factor for sure. A few weeks ago I was in Vegas and a couple of the ADs had the forged carbon in stock. I tried it on a few times. Liked it but didn't love it. The third AD had both the SS and the FC in stock, and as soon as I put the SS on I knew that was the watch. It just popped on all levels. The contrasts and level of detail on this piece is absolutely amazing. I came home and went about the business of fi

TRF members...Lets see your Connie Pie Pans
I have a few and will post one every few days. It would be interesting to hear as much info you have on the watch; Ref #, movement cal, Dial variations and any provenance you may have on the watch.This first watch was one of my last acquired, a classic pie pan bought to be a daily wear watch; ref # 2852-3 SC cal 505 (see below) in 14k capped SS case. Original cross hair dial that meets the MOY test (see below) with arabic numerals at 12/3/6/9 and a nice gentle patina. The watch has moderate wear on the 14k observatory medallion on the case back Serial # 16,113,xxx which dates the watch to circa 1958. This watch is currently running +8 sec per day. This watch has some tarnishing / deterioration of the gold capping on the inner edges of the lugs as well as wear on the case from usage. As such, I was able to buy it at a very reasonable price for use as an all original, daily wear connie pie pan in my collection. The watch is wearing an Omega chocolate brown croc strap. The watch was acqui
