Planet Ocean Helium Escape Valve gap normal?
Hi,I just received my new PO Quantum of Solace edition from a reputable dealer. It looks brand new, with its hang tags, protective stickers, etc. It also appears to be working fine. Upon closer inspection, however, I noticed that there is a rather visible gap between the Helium escape valve and the case, even if the valve is closed tight. This gap shows a little bit of the thread that the valve screws on to. This gap and thread are only visible from the top though. The bottom does not show the gap (or thred) at all. Is this normal for all 45.5 m. Planet Oceans or did I receive a defective watch? This is my first experience with XL POs so I don't know whether this is normal or not and I don't want to sound like a full if I had to talk to my dealer about this. My old Seamaster 300m (2008) does not show that gap at all by the way, but I wonder if it's due to its smaller size (41 m). Anybody out there having the same issue with their XL Planet Ocean? Any help would be greatly appre

Rolex's Everose gold
Hello all,I think this is one option that hasn't been referred to that much...Why? Many high end brands have the rose gold fever...blancpain, vacheron,AP, Breitling, Pierre Kunz, Daniel Roth, Zenith, GP, Ulysse N, Corum, dewitt, Graham, Omega, Frank Muller,...ETC to mention some. So what do you say we post some pictures of some SS/Rose gold and all solid everose gold models!!!!PS_ Why does the all solid Piink gold DD #118205 has a different hue to that of the SS/Everose gold models???Ed

My Orbita Sparta Executive
This is my new Orbita Sparta Executive that Kevin at Orbita helped me obtain. So far the fit and finish is outstanding. Only problem is the felt interior lining on the top of the lower compartment has fallen during shipment and lost some of its adhesive...easily fixed with contact cement. But is is definetly worth every penny. It is working flawlessly and is unable to be heard except for the click at the end of the rotation cycle that is barley audible. I only wish it had a glass window to view the watches but I just leave the case open when home.Some Photos with the Omega's moved in:

Seeing before buying
Hi everyone,I've been trying to compare a 5167 or a 5711. I know the blue 5711 is ridiculously hard to come by and the white 5711 is also quite scarce in stores (but a shorter wait list). The discussion comes up quite frequently about comparing the two and everyone's preferences, but one thing I have been struggling with recently is actually trying to see these in person and finding which looks best on me.I've seen tons of pictures (thanks to everyone on this amazing forum!) and would definitely love to purchase my first Patek, but I have a hard time deciding on one of these watches before actually getting to see and compare them in person and trying them on. I went to my local Patek dealer this weekend and called an out-of-state one I visited a couple of months ago. Neither unfortunately had any of the three in stock. While traveling, I've tried to visit local dealers who always tell me the 5711 is a wait list item that I'll never get to see in stores.Any advice on getting to see a &g
