For Only Watch, Piaget Celebrates Man on the Moon
For Only Watch 2009, Piaget presents a unique example of their Emperador Coussin Large Moon. This model, introduced this year, houses Caliber 860P, a self-winding movement designed, developed and produced by Piaget. Within the 46.5mm 18k pink gold (5N) case, the oversize 12mm diameter moon phase display immediately attracts your eye, and if you look closely at this Only Watch, you’ll see what makes it unique…This piece incorporates a delightfully understated tribute: the moon’s surface bears a recreation of Neil Armstrong’s famous footprint, to commemorate the 40th anniversary of man’s first steps on the moon. The case back is also specially engraved “Only Watch 2009”.Only Watch is held every two years during the Monaco Yacht Show. The auction will be conducted by Patrizzi & Co. on September 24. The auction enjoys the high patronage of HSH Prince Albert II, and all proceeds of the sale go to support research into Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

AP ROC Panda 26331
Hi all,I'm new to the forum and I've recently picked up my first AP and I'm blown away by the quality and style of the watch, specially the stunning steel bracelet.I own a few Rolexes but this has quickly become my new favorite watch. I heard APs are scratch magnets compared to Rolexes, is that true? I guess this would be the special occasion wear for now...Anyway, I'm glad to join the AP family and will definitely own another one in the future!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It was losing about 20 seconds/day, so definitely due for service. Omega website says $675 for basic service. The list below is quoted by Hyde Park (Denver) at $760.

PAM292 Lug Replacement - Help
Hey Folks,So I purchased my first PAM last month and absolutely love it.Only issue is that I replaced the strap and when installing the new strap I noticed the 4 rubber ends (specifically the area that inserts into the case) are pretty mangled, loose and/or torn up.One rubber end was so loose and mangled it actually got stuck in the case and i had to pull it out with tweezers, the others are kind of bunched up and they protrude from the case when installed.I'm definitely less concerned about cosmetics here and more concerned about the function and reliability of the lugs, but being a brand new watch, I also want it to look exactly as it was meant to look.OK so moving forward, I called Panerai NYC and asked if they could sent me replacement lugs. I told them even though the watch is under warranty I would simply buy them to speed the process.They told me no matter what, I need to ship them my entire watch so they can examine it and order the parts after they fill out the proper forms a
