Advice needed!! Audemars 25721ST.OO.1000ST.05 . Please give me some advice
Hello fellas!Im a new member to this website but I am a long time fan. However I am a relatively novice collector (ok I am a noob).I have a Daytona 116520 (black) and a IWC AMG Ingenieur Chrono. Both of which i bought new, so I have very little experience with 2nd hand watches.I recently came across this gem... a blueface AP Royal Oak Off Shore 25721ST.OO.1000ST.05I saw it in person and it seems to be in excellent condition. No indication that it was even worn often. Seems to have been worn very rarely infact. I was quoted around $11,500USD including box/papers and 1 year warranty from the 2nd hand shop (the shop has been around for a while and is somewhat famous). However due to my lack of knowledge of AP and my lack of experience with 2nd hand watches I have a few concerns...1. Is $11,500USD (I was quoted in New Taiwan Dollars and this is the approximate value in USD) a good price? Depreciation and resale value (if I ever decide to sell it or trade it) are important to me. Which is w

Urge to flip my 312
I try to wear my one and only PAM a week out of the month in rotation. But at most it's been about 4 to 5 days out of the month. However I'm starting to feel the urge that I need to flip it as it is very mint condition still. The top heaviness of the 1950 case I've gotten used to so there are no regrets on size. The PAM 292 rad looks appealing so does a 216570 exp 2 with black dial (I have a 16570 polar though). Also I can just use the proceeds to go towards a TT black MOP DJ my wife hinted as a push present. Is this a normal feeling? Secondary market doesn't look very good for PAMs, so I'm looking at a little bit of a loss if I decide to flip. What do you think?Sent from my XT1096 using Tapatalk

for the strapaholics....
Question. I'm looking for a non-oem gator strap(s) in black and brown for my 422. Non-glossy, padded, with sewn in pre-v buckle. I would like to spend no more than 200 per strap. Can you suggest two or three makers with whom you have had good results/experience? Thanks.

Datejust 116233
Hey everyone! I'm trying to pick a dial color for my next Rolex (Datejust two tone 116233) and I'm having a lot of trouble getting information on the available dial colors for 2016 models. Even the Rolex website isn't helpful in this regard at all. I'm considering the Steel roman dial because it looks like the whole watch is gold and steel. I've also always wanted the black sunbeam roman dial but that's discontinued long ago and I'd hate to buy a 10 year old new old stock piece. I only want a brand new scrambled serial piece with roman numerals. Any recommendations about which I should get and also a website that actually lists the currently available dial colors. Thanks in advance!
