Audemars Piguet Millenary Minute Repeater Watch
For 2011 one of Audemars Piguet's exotic complication pieces will be this Millenary Minute Repeater watch. I was told by Audemars Piguet that their Millenary line is undergoing an overhaul. Looks like 2011 will not be the year we see new Millenary cases and style, but we will see this sophisticated Minute Repeater with another interesting balance wheel and escapement device.The terminology throws me off a bit. There are terms like "AP Exhaust Pulse Direct." Not sure what that is, but it sounds like something from a race car, not timepiece. Previous to this new movement, Audemars Piguet showed off its AP Escapement. That escapement was really fast, to allow for greater accuracy. The AP Escapement was one that they developed to run at something like 72,000 bpm (amazing). Here in the Millenary Minute Repeater, the movement has slower 21,600 bpm movement, but AP uses one of those trendy new "double balance spring."

Question regarding changing out strap 42mm ROO
Hey guys, i would like to replace the oem leather with rubber strap. I believe the width is 28mm and the buckle is 18mm correct? Would a 44mm ROO strap be interchangeable? Because they're 28mm throughout I don't like the narrow look of the oem leather.My local AD sent me this picture. Would I need to get a new buckle? Also go oem rubber or aftermarket? Does anyone know what the price of the oem rubber cost? Thanks for the help

Omega AD 15% Discount
Went in to the only Omega AD anywhere near my area yesterday. The sales girl informed me that their company has negotiated with Omega and offers their watches at 15% off the MSRP.My intial thought is bullpucks that they basically just offer them at 15% off to move them. Am I correct in this assumption or do most AD's not really offer any discount right off the top?They actually had an OK selection but even at 15% off till you tack taxes back on you aren't saving even 10% off retail. I did not try to negotiate further as at that specific moment I was not ready to purchase another watch anyway. Does make me wonder if they would cut prices even deeper though.Thoughts anyone?

Super clear Patek dial, Neptune 5085/1A from 1998-2005.240 movement, steel and a beauty. Doesn�� photograph well but in the flesh is stunning and an absolute bargain in the used market.

Just got 5711 white dial, would you sell for yellow gold day date 40mm?
Hi Guys.I just bought my first patek 5711 white dial. I had a rolex gmt blnr that I traded in to get the 5711. I have always wanted a gold watch, but think it might be a bit much for a 31 year old. Would you trade the 5711 in for a yellow gold day date 40mm? Should I keep the 5711 and save for the day date? Keep the 5711 and buy another blnr? Let me know. Thank you
