Speedmaster bracelet question
I have recently picked up two 321 Speedmasters, one a 1967, 145.012 and other a 1965, 105.003. They each came with a bracelet like the one I am attaching. They both have "No. 12" (actually, after looking at my photo, it appears it might say "ll o. 12")stamped on the clasp but no sign of any four-digit serial numbers. The end pieces for the one shown are 633. Both of the sellers were original owners and are certain the bracelets came with their watches. They have no reason to be dishonest. They both show signs of many years of wear...in fact the one not shown is a little more worn and missing an end piece. Can anyone give me any good info. on these bracelets? Thanks in advance.

Here's one you don't see everyday...
This Sub was introduced AFTER SIHH 2009. It's the PAM285, 47mm Ti Sub and limited to 250 pieces! I spotted this one in the wild. ...well not exactly....it was at a Panerai GTG, it's owned by 'Risti extraordinaire Nad...he was kind enough to allow me a couple snapshots and to explain it's credentials....I hope you enjoy.Cheers,Rob

AP shopping while in Stuttgart
Hello everybody! I have been looking at the 44mm Novelties for a long time. Finally, I had the chance to try them on. I am very tempted!! I am in love with the white dial Panda. I think that is going to be my purchase. Also, I really enjoyed the white dial Diver a lot more than I had expected. What does everybody think? Also, the stainless 44mm is around $28K after the tax rebate. Good deal?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Omega Service and certificate
I am about to service my omega 3510.50. Omega quoted me $900 for overhaul and a new hesalite and bezel. The watch buyers group quoted me $400-$800 with out a new bezel. Omega said for an additional $150 they would give me a certificate stating where and when the watch was made. And it would be signed by the omega president. Considering I paid 1k for the watch is this certificate necessary? It would probably help with resale down the line. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Omega 9300 at rest
I've not owned a Speedmaster in decades. Last example was a moon watch purchased c. 1969, which I traded away in 2001, and regret it.I've read that some timepieces, when not worn at night, keep more accurate time if resting in a certain position.Might anyone know if that holds true for the Speedy 9300, specifically a gray, if that matters?Any knowledge would be appreciated.Tg
