15202 or 15400??
I am heading towards a 3 watch collection lifestyle and have already chosen the 2 first, a PP 5712 in SS, a Rolex sub LV aka the Hulk, and as a third am pulled towards an AP RO, but am hesitating a lot, until today between a Dual time or plain dial, and now between the 2 models mentioned above, in any case in blue, I know my PP will have a blue dial but it's my fav color.just don't know which to put, the Jumbo looks great but is only 39mm, have never tried one but like 40mm+, for me the PP 5712 is at the limit of my size factors, it's ok because very thin, so don't know about the JUMBO.About the 15400 I like the 41mm and the fact that there is a second hand.Is there a difference between the 2121 movement and the 3120? Except that the 3120 has a second hand?For thickness it's 1,7mm difference, in other words almost nothing.The Jumbo blue dial looks lighter blue than the 15400 on the site's pics, is it really the case or just a lighting question?Also do the dials change color like Nauti

Aqua Terra 8500 crown
I have an Aqua Terra 8500 that I recently purchased. When I screw the crown down it feels very tight, but when I unscrew the crown it is easy. If feels like when I screw down the crown the movement is being wound also. On the other hand I have a Planet Ocean with the 2500 movement and it is smooth and easy both tighten and un tighten the crown. I put some KT22 lubrication on the crown threads and that did not seem to make a difference. Is this just a characteristic of the Aqua Terra and the 8500 movement or could there be problems.
