Cleaned & Oiled Or Serviced ?
Hi fellas,When an online seller describes their watch as being either cleaned & oiled or serviced am I right in thinking that there is a distinction between the two ? Are some online sellers in the habit of subtly leading a novice think that the two are the same way of maintaining a watch ?ThanksMel

Sparta and Rolex Perpetual Problem
I own a Sparta with lithium battery that I bought in 2010 to keep my Rolex Perpetual on time. When I started wearing the Rolex on a daily basis, I could see that over night it kept losing time. As a result I have had to reset it every morning, now running the risk of wearing out the winder mechanism. I have sent Orbita 2 emails within the last 10 days asking if there was any way I could speed up the Sparta. How can I tell if it's set for 10 vs 15 TPD? The watch winder came with very little information. Since I've heard nothing from Orbita, perhaps someone here on the forum has some ideas.

HELP! Need quick advice on this TAG
Hi guys,I was browsing my local AD yesterday and came across this:I asked to see it and the sales woman told me it is 40% off because it is being discontinued. I like the watch and want to decide today because if I buy it today I get the free sunglasses (last day of the promo), sounds dumb, but I don't want to wait and get it without them. Their price is $3200 and with discount would bring it to: $1920.Two things holding me back:1. Can I do better than 40% off? Seems like there are a large mark up on TAG watches and I've seen it online from some sites for cheaper.2. It is an electro mechanical hybrid and I am not familiar with this type of watch, I originally had a straight mechanical in mind. How long do these last before a battery change? How reliable are they?Lastly, there are two models on the TAG website, CJF7111.BA0587 and CJF7111.BA0592 and I can't tell the difference, perhaps someone can shed some light?Thanks in advance.

Can Independent Watch Maker Service the ROO Chrono?
Guys,Is it possible that an independent watchmaker service a ROO Chronograph? Or we must go to authorised AD for any servicing issue?Before I own several Rolexes and always go to independent watchmakers for servicing...Regards,

I did something stupid....
But I am happy. As some of you know I was looking for a dressier piece to add to my collection without any luck. Yesterday I was talking with My AD and he showed me the amazing 5711 in blue (Hard to get and you need to be on a waiting list). I had bought the white 5711 a couple of months ago and I am very happy with the piece, but once I saw the perfection of the blue dial I was hooked and said What the heck. I know most of you would disagree in getting two of the same in different color but the 5711 in blue is a must and breaks any logic. You have no idea how this dial changes hues, its like its alive.... simply stunning and ridiculous at the same time. I can also blame Puffy and Mike for their amazing photos (LOL)..... just intoxicating in a good way. At the end of the day if I get bored I know any of the 5711s would easily find a loving home. And to make matters even worse (hehe) my AD ended the day with a cherry on top, and as a companion for the blue 5711, he threw in something so
