Ultra-thin is In at Piaget
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of their legendary caliber 12P, the world's thinnest mechanical self-winding movement at that time, Piaget introduces Caliber 1200P, today's thinnest automatic movement at 2.35mm. The new movement is housed in new limited and unlimited Altiplano models, which at 5.25mm are the thinnest automatic watches on the market today. The Altiplano with Calibre 1200P includes an unlimited version with subsidiary seconds, and a special Anniversary Edition with hour and minute hands only. Both models measure 43mm in diameter and both have multi-level dials and a very clean, modern look. The Anniversary Edition offers a platinum rotor, compared with 22-carat gold in the unlimited models. The Anniversary Edition also features a discrete inscription on the outer edge of the dial, which is adorned with hand guilloch��.For the past 50 years, Piaget has been a pioneer and leader in the field of ultra-thin movements. In 1957, Piaget developed Calibre 9P, the world's thinne

Will you look down your noses at me???
My first post on the AP forum, and based on my first comment maybe my last, there, all legal disclaimers listed up front. I know AP is one of the absolute top rank watch brands. So naturally one should be on my purchase plan to round out my humble collection. Now for the disclaimer, unlike EVERYBODY I am sure on this AP forum I just don't like the signature OAK style AP watches, but I understand why others do.As a result I am drawn to some of the vintage AP watches including some of the moonphase styles, the old slim line gold watches, but I also like the basic and plain Millenary in SS with a leather band.Will I be looked down on by the big hitters with their 6 digit big ticket platinum OAK's if I start with the humblest of the breed.... In truth is there anything I should know as a watchout on these basic AP's I am assuming they are still made with a AP automatic movement and that they should be reliable and dependable. All of my watches tend to be on the plain side of the brands. Ev

Omega Central Tourbillon
This model was introduced in 1994 and is still sold as a limited edition. Does anyone here own one? If so, how has your ownership experience been?I like the look of the watch and the unique design. But, at close to $100k, it is very expensive. Would a Breguet tourbillon make more sense and be more likely to hold its value?

My baby is back!
My baby (5085/1A) hasnt had much wrist time since I bought it close to over a year now and did not notice that it was running 13 seconds fast daily until recently as I have been wearing the watch every day for 3 weeks. I gave it to a well known Authorized Rolex repair guru who is also PP trained for a tune up and now its running 2 seconds fast! The watch otherwise is in perfect condition as it was serviced before I bought it.I am a happy chap!!! It will be back on my wrist tomorrow night.

PCLs...... Arghhh
I know there are lots of posts about this, but wanted to share my pics and polish. Wore this one for a whole week.I have to say that I hate PCLs...... I gave it a light polish Sunday. I was careful to not get anywhere near the brushed stainless. So much better!I'll always keep this watch as it was my first Dayotna but I will never buy a watch with PCLs again!I think the platinum in my Everose Daytona is more scratch resistant.....
