Raymond Weil Nabucco Va, Pensiero Watch
The major men's watch release from Raymond Weil this year was a new Nabucco (the name sounds too much like Nabisco to me and I think of snacks) Va, Pensiero. The odd, "comma containing" name comes apparently from a famous Verdi chorus. Does this watch remind you of anything Verdi or Opera related? Cause it doesn't for me. Get this, Raymond Weil actually writes this in their press information, the Nabucco Va, Pensiero "exudes the same power and nobility as the great Italian composer's Opera." Wow, I've only seen greater BS while staring at a cow's ass.I hope someone who writes for Raymond Weil got a bonus for that gem of a quote. There is nothing wrong with the sand-blasted titanium watch, but lets not get all operatic here. This is no watch to sing about. Though you could buy one and play some Verdi music during a video recorded "un-boxing" session. That would be dramatic enough.The gray tones all over the watch add to the titanium feel, as well as function as Raymond Weil's hat thrown

Getting an old LE pre-owned piece checked out
I'll looking at getting a hard to find, decade old LE RO. I'm told by an established, non-AD, seller of pre-owned watches that they have one that's in excellent condition -- but in this world, I need more reassurance than that. There's a 10-day return policy on the watch. Is there a way to have the watch fully inspected by AP for authenticity and internal condition in a 10-day window? I'd imagine there's no chance at getting it to-and-from Clearwater from NY in a 10-day window. Do you know if they do this at the AP boutique here in NY?

5070 ( no other title needed :-) )
these are old pictures which I took long ago.My AD had one 5070P and called me when it was delivered. The watch was ofcourse sold but at least I could take some pics of this dreampieceAnd because I read too many questions on this site if a Patek is really so much better than Rolex ... Look at these macro movement shots. The finishing is unbelievablenote that these are pics from another 5070, the red gold.Also pictures I took long ago but since the movement shot from the platinum 5070 were not that good I'll show these.Ofcourse the movement in a 5070 red, yellow white or platinum are exactly the same.So if somebody ever asks again if they are better ... this answers your question.If you don't know how much effort this takes ... read some books about high-end watchmaking br

and Role #2 is here
So I love the Submariner I bought last month. After people on here posting such amazing pictures of the DateJust 41 I thought I would make that my next one in a few months. Then, I am watching The Color of Money two nights ago and my eyes are drawn to Newman's watch. Of course, it is a DateJust. I decide to go to the AD today and get on a list. Then wouldn't you know it, they have the exact configuration I wanted. Two new watches in a one month period of time is a bit much, but I must admit I love the new one. I cannot get myself to wear my Omegas anymore.

Rolex 14060 U series Tritium lume or re-lumed?
Hi all! Just purchased this U Series 14060 in pretty nice condition, and I'm try to figure out whether it's been re-lumed or not. If anything maybe the pearl? Photo taken after a healthy dose of sun. Thoughts?
