Build your own AP ROO??
Seeing all the feedback on the novelties from SIHH and also a lot of the comments in the past, may I recommend to AP (if they read this), the following:I think AP should launch a custom watch configurator system - clients can specify all the materials/combo they want from a standard list; they could charge a decent premium for this - say 25-30% and I am sure there would be good take up. Variables:1. Watch case material2. Bezel material3. Dial style, flat or tapisserie4. Numerals - sticks or numbers5. Dial colour6. Numerals/sticks colour.7. Crown and pusher materials.8. Strap material9. Buckle or deployment.Of course one could go further, but the above would give you almost unlimited combinations, and they would have to set up an AP Bespoke department or similar, charge a premium of course and throw in some bells and whistles along with it, along the lines of creating a ROO VIP club effect.You read it here first!

Interesting article on Gerald Genta
I came across an interesting article on the designer of the Royal Oak, among others, Gerald Genta. I thought some of you might find it an interesting read. .veryimportantwatches/...g_rules_en.pdfEnjoy

Incoming Speedmaster!!
While I've wanted the Snoopy and Alaska Project Speedmasters for longer than I can remember, one look at the Apollo 11 35th Anniversary Speedy drove me nuts and before you know it, I was busy talking to Henry (who has been awesome). I should hopefully have the watch by the end of the week if all goes to plan. Needless to say, I cannot wait! Copper

Traded up for 5164R!
My 5167R seemed a bit small and the 5164R wears bigger and has more presence. Also didn't have second time zone watch since losing my Reverso Grand Duo. Got a very fair price including the trade in and enjoying the extra size/heft.
