Corum showed us their newest whirlwind
Anyone considering buying a tourbillon knows that Swiss-made watches with this decidedly complex escapement typically carry six-figure price tags. So it came as some surprise when Corum showed us their newest whirlwind, the $43,000 stainless steel Admiral's Cup Legend Tourbillon Micro-Rotor.

AP Clearwater Service - questionable work
Hi guys,I purchased a RO 15450 back in May 2013. Last may, I sent the watch back to Clearwater for its 3rd year warranty checkup. This is where my troubles began. Almost immediately after receiving the watch back, I noticed that the date would not jump at midnight. It would instead move halfway and then complete the full transition at about 12:30.Annoyed, I let this be for a while and finally got to sending the watch back last month. I just received my watch back a couple days ago and noticed that the 2-o'clock screw on my bezel is now loose. Upon inspecting the watch further, I noticed that several screws on the caseback were VERY loose. Now I am questioning the work done by Clearwater and the waterproofness of my watch.Anyone else experience similar issues? What would you do?

Gold for Gold? Would you?
I am contemplating moving my 42m new style Gold ROO (26470or) for a Gold RO (15400or black face/black alligator strap) and using the left over $$ to pick up a pre-owned (or new) Diver or another more casual piece (possibly Rolex).Does this make sense ? I do like the 26470or (yes I like the dial ) but am thinking the combo of the 15400or and diver will give me a little more diversity in providing one dressier and one more casual piece. I do have a FC44 which would stay.As always.....thoughts are very welcome and opinions are appreciated ! TIA
