Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5165A Blue Dial 38mm Automatic Watch

Weirdest watch you ever owned
Literally, this was my biggest mistake in 40 years (or more) of collecting:Now let's see yours

Tom Arnold and Invicta
I was watching a pretty good interview with Tom Arnold the other night on the Piers Morgan show. I kept seeing Arnold's rather large and blingy watch. I looked like a gold chrono in rectangular shape with a big curved crystal. I couldn't place it, but was dying to know what that huge thing was. Looked expensive.Well, Piers mentioned it as a sign of success as they were talking about the perks of celebrity. Arnold says, "Yea, I get nice gifts like this." Piers sort of said the watch looked expensive. They did a close-up on the watch and I froze the image (of course). It was an Invicta!! I always find it interesting when a multi-millionaire is wearing a non-expensive watch. I wanted to post a pic of it from the web, but I don't know the model. Maybe someone here could post it and tell us about it and maybe Arnold's connection to Invicta.

Benrus Type I or II bezel
I need to find a bezel for the Navy SEAL Benrus Type I or II watch that was used during the Vietnam War. I have 3 cases, movements, dials and hand sets, but no bezels. I need at least one bezel to rebuild one of thse watches for myself. If anyone knows where I might find one please let me know.Dave

PO 8500 owners please advise on potential problem
Hi guys, I was hoping anyone with a po 8500 could chime in. When I unwind my crown it doesn't pop out like my other watches. Hen in winding positions, my other watches have a nori bile spring to them, you push the crown into the case and screw it down. My po8500 does not, it unscrews and doesn't pop out, just sits there, then has no spring when pushing in to screw it back down. Is this how these watches are supposed to operate or is this an issue?

Negative or disappointing PP experience?
I was indirectly involved with the return of a PP 5170 to PP for a complete repair/service. It was in an optically bad shape with broken smashed glass as the owner had been involved in a severe accident. The case was neither badly scratched nor dented, but appeared to have some dinks here and there from daily use. The breaking of the glass caused it to get in contact with the hour and minute pointers which got bent out of shape from the top toward the dial (from outside to inside along their length). The dial got scratched due to the broken glass.The watch was brought to the main AD of PP in Switzerland at the Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich who could not perform the repairs in their own little atelier. They sent it to PP in Geneva for repair. After two months the first call was made to the AD to enquire about the state of repairs. The status was unknown and we were told to call in a week. One week later the answer was that the watch was still being repaired, with no further details. About tw
