Query on GMT dials
greetings to all.i was given the priviledge of holding a 16700 and 16710 (both A series) owned by a private collector last nite. i noticed that the dial only had "swiss" printed instead of swiss made or t<25 or soemthing. just wondering which is the more desirable dial to own?Or is there absoutely no difference at all? Thanks in advance.

Another first AP thread! ROO Safari
I haven't been a long time AP lover, in fact I never considered one like some watches that I've wanted for years (such as a PP nautilus) but not too long ago I went into the only AD in Melbourne that stocks AP's and had a browse....didn't take long to want one more than any watch I could think of! I guess I don't see many, if any, around here and pictures just don't do them justiceThey happened to have a Royal Oak Offshore Safari and another model in stock that arrived the day before. The sales guy was actually surprised as he said they normally sell Safari's to VIP's before they hit the shelf and that they only get allocated 2 per financial year from AP (who knows how much truth is in that...they are salespeople after all)Anyway, told me the price...and that there are no discounts even though I'm a long time client since its such a rare/sought after model in Australia and they were confident it would sell for full price that week. Wasn't going to reserve it at full retail price so I l

Incoming 5167r
I recently purchased 5167r from an AD, after years of being a firm Rolex fan.I was in my local AD and few weeks back enjoying a coffee and looking at a few PP pieces, one of which was a 5167A on a bracelet which tbh whilst I'd have gone for the strap version in a heartbeat, the bracelet did little for me and I'd rather not spend the extra ¡ê for the bracelet and then have to pay out again on the rubber strap and deployant clasp. I was considering it but... as we were discussing the store manager popped over to say hi and show me a 5167r they had taken in part exchange just that morning!I was hooked...Loved the dial colour and the chocolate brown strap of the R compared to the steel version.Over the course of the next day or so we struck the deal and after a trade and some cash I picked it up just before Christmas.The strap is taking some getting used to (mainly from the many years of wearing bracelets) Am also quite conscious of how flashy it looks being the R (but maybe thats just me)A

Definition of a Grail watch?
This is probably obvious but honestly I feel like everyone's definition of grail watch is so different that sometimes it confuses me. Originally I thought grail watch is a watch that's just too expensive but then unless we are talking about those watches over say a million dollars and that are super limited in who can even buy them, most watches (especially those people sometimes call grail) are technically affordable as they are typically cheaper than a car or in the more extreme cases a house. They may not be something you want to spend the money on, but that's a choice.The other definition I was guessing was that it's a watch that one watch to rule them all in that once you get the grail watch, you are set for that watch for the rest of your life? If that's the case, then no one would be flipping grail watches.So what's your definition of a grail watch? What makes it your grail?
