new pins will help but the links also arent solid so really not much you can do about it and i dont think getting it serviced will help, my suggestion is get new bracelets or put it on a strap in the meantime

there are places that can tighten it back up for you but i am not sure how much those run and what the turnarounds like

never got anything done from him but came across this guy a while back

You could also check out Rolliworks. I think they're in SF and they do laser welding and etc repairing bracelets which do the "lean back"

Do you guys have your watches insured? I know there are sites out there. Which one do you prefer?

 

[flyknitlvr]

One thing about the jewelry district, and I'm sure wear rare airs can speak on this further, is there's a massive level of collusion that goes on amongst the dealers.

You might find the odd deal here and there, but they will take a loss by wholesaling to another dealer before they take a loss selling to a retail customer.

And under no circumstances would they ever sell a watch for $10k under market to a random guy walking by. It just doesn't work like that.

Anyway...

Tempted to see if my AD buddy can source me a ceramic bezel.

are aftermarket dials frowned upon like aftermarket diamonds?

yes, lots of collusion. When I asked around for a meteorite GMT very recently, I had 5 sources send me the same exact pictures of the watch with 5 different prices lol. Yet they all had it “in hand”.

Contact your current home owners or renters insurance. You may be able to insure through them. Otherwise a lot of people use jewelers mutual.

 

[Chopper]

That was the worst reference points I've seen to date. Dude put me and the host to sleep.

That breitling is awesome.

The speedmaster speedy tuesday black dial white sub-dial is a thing of beauty. Too bad it's a manual.

It’s Rolex time. If you look at all their ads and pictures of watches you’ll see the watchers are always on that time.

I use Jewelers mutual.

 

[rfx45]

really thinking i might go all gold next but i need to try on the 40mm daydates again.. wish they (still?) made dj36 in all gold

 

[magic872]

if you have time to spare.

 

[pums]

That RM video is pretty informative. I still don't like the watches and the brand but I somewhat understand it more.

Had no idea AP owns a 10% stake
