Khaki Bracelet Removal: More frustrating than...well just about anything!
There must be an easy way. What am I missing. This alone would keep me from buying another.Jim

Suggestions on refurbishing this watch.
A watch I acquired via my grandmother that I'd like to have to wear as a dress watch.Problem: where or how do I go about getting the work done and what would it cost in ballpark figures? It winds, but won't unwind...if I carefully push this thing then the spring will unwind but the hands never turn. Anyhow...it obviously need a lot of work...and a strap.Is it worth it?You tell me.It would be nice if it was done locally, but I have no idea where to go, other than my mothers jeweler who makes custom jewelery and he told me he has a guy that helps him out on vintage restorations.Thanks

Sell the GMTIIc for an Aquanaut 5167?
Dear all,I've got a nice little collection consisting of:- Breitling Intruder (quartz) - my first Swiss watch which gets thoroughly abused without any worries what so ever. Never missed a beat.- Rolex GMTIIc - my daily wearer that I swim in, take on holiday to the beach, in the shower sometimes, etc. My thought was Rolex can always polish it to near perfection during service, so I should give it plenty of wrist time and not worry about the scratches etc.- Patek 5146G - This is my pride and joy which gets a lot of wrist time during office hours, fancy dinners, and any other time I know it'll live a stress-free life!I got the GMT when it first came out so it's probably due for a service. Dangerously, this has gotten me thinking that another Patek might be in order, and I may have to waive good bye to the GMT (has to be worth what I paid for it or more?). The reasons being:- I'm kind of over the Rolex thing. As much as I think they're great watches, they're a little too flashy for my tast

Turned 40...Wife always delivers...incoming tomorrow.
Not usually a big fan of long in coming threads, but in this case could not help myself. I turned 40 last month. My wife and I went on a weekend vacation this past weekend, and while we were there she suggested we go in the AD, who we know and have bought multiple watches from, to just check out what they have, since 40 is a big deal apparently. I had mentioned to her that I might be interested in getting a James Cameron deep sea, and I know they¡¯ve had several in the past. She seemed amenable to that. We walked in, and were immediately met at the door with a hug by the owner we know well, who happens to be from her hometown. Anyway, he proceeds with ¡°oh my gosh, your timing is perfect. We just received a watch this morning that we ordered in April of last year, and haven¡¯t even logged it into stock yet. It is only the second one of these we have ever received¡±. When he told me what it was, I immediately thought ¡°wow, great watch, probably more than wifey would want spent on a timepie

Explorer on brown leather strap: doesn¡¯t work for me!
My wife wears the Explorer in rotation with her white 116520. Thought I change it up a bit and try for the first time a leather strap for her to match the brown purse etc. just change it up a bit. Ordered this Hirsch strap from Amazon and put it on today. She didn¡¯t like it, and frankly neither did I. The color didn¡¯t match any of her stuff either. The strap also was a bit thick around the spring bar, and it rubbed against the sharp edge of the watch as it rotated around the spring bar so not sure if I can return it now. You can see the scraped discolored part at 6 and 12 position. Oh well. Thought I share these pics anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
