Patek Philippe Patek Phillipe, Men's Complicated Watches

Lucien Piccard
I got this watch, and certainly I like it a lot...It's a Lucien Piccard 28117RO, with an automatic F-8051 movement, with small seconds, and two 24 hours sub-dials, one with numbers, and the other with day/night graphics (not a moonphase)The case is SS Rose Gold; has a genuine leather strap; the movement has a great precision so far, I'm still testing it, it's japan made I think from the little info I could get online...The dial, has very fine details, and love the rose gold roman numerals, also the hands are excentric, as you can see, they are a little up from the center of the dialyou can see the balance wheel at motion in the open heartI thought that this brand was a very bad quality one, as one time I saw a picture on their site, of a watch that was pointing at May 32nd, maybe some remember the thread about it; but I was wrong, as the watch looks and feels very very good and fine...

Question about switching from deployant / deployment clasp to tang buckle
I have persevered with the deployant / deployment clasp on my 5140G for a month or so, have had an extra hole put in the strap by PP and have even had PP reverse the strap for me, which has been touted on here as a solution to uncomfortable depolyants. But I have now decided that I and the deployant are never going to be friends, and that the time has come for a change. Someone has generously gifted me a genuine PP WG tang buckle, so I now need to sort out a strap. I think that at the PP Salon they told me, but only in passing, that one can't simply put a tang buckle on a deployant strap. But maybe that is just something they do not do as a matter of principle, or maybe it requires some work done on the strap which they do not undertake. Hence my main question: has anyone managed to recycle a PP deployant strap for use with a tang buckle ?As a further question, how much should I expect to pay at the PP Salon for a real Alligator with large rectangular scales in glossy black strap

Hulk in Cartagena Colombia.
I am in Cartagena Colombia with my wife until this Friday we happened to stroll through a Rolex AD that had a few Rolexes of which he has I think 1 or 2 hulks for $9k if anyone is interested...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oysterquartz Service Going Forward
From what I have read, Oysterquartz production ended around 2001 or about seventeen years ago. While the movement has a lot of mechanical parts that are common with other movements, the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) is unique to this series of timepieces. In addition, European requirements since 2001 drove changes to eliminate lead in the environment, so there is some question about the availability of the PCBA going forward.Has Rolex provided any information on how long spare PCBAs will be available? Can the PCBA be replaced by anyone outside of the RSC? In other words, can a watchmaker with a Rolex parts account order the PCBA? I am considering purchasing one, but I want to have a watch that keeps time, not something that shows the correct time twice per day.

Changing straps/bracelet tool
Folks,I think we all know here, and I am sorry if it has been asked many times before... Changing straps/removing the bracelet on Rolexes is a beach! Can someone please refer me to a good place to get a pair of tweezers for me to change the bracelet? I am getting a colareb next week and don't want to ruin my lugs... Cheers!
