Bovet Amadeo Fleurier Virtuoso IV Watch
Bovet is really cranking out new high complication watches �C which, in truth, is not a particularly new thing, given the luxury watch maker's activities over the last few years. When Bovet comes up with a concept they like, the result is a lot of high-end artistic models that subtly build on one another. Put the new-for-2015 Bovet Amadeo Fleurier Virtuoso IV next to one of the other Virtuoso models, and you might not be able to immediately tell the difference. If you find yourself in that position, you likely aren't alone. In fact, the best way to identify the Bovet Amadeo Fleurier Virtuoso IV among the other models might very well be looking for the elephants. Or the doves, angels, or horses, that is.One of the new aesthetic features of the Bovet Amadeo Fleurier Virtuoso IV is the placement of hand-engraved figurines on the dial of the watch. All Bovet Virtuoso models that I can think of already exhibit lots of hand-decoration, but for the Bovet Amadeo Fleurier Virtuoso IV, clients ca

Looking to get my first AP
Hello everyone Decided a few weeks ago I would like to get my first AP looking at the Royal Oak 15400 black dial I think, won't know for sure until I try them on. So going to London this weekend and read harrods had a good selection, so could possibly pick one up this weekend. What sort of discount can you expect to get from these watches ? I have never owned a AP before and have only ever owned Rolex and a few other brands before. When I googled this subject I seen some people say upto 30% off but it was a few years old. Also noticed iconic watches are offering 9% off is that good in the current market?

Planet Ocean GMT (Dial Choices)
I'm a big fan of this watch personally, but I know some are not. Some of the contention is related to the color scheme (blue w/ orange), others just have an issue with the GMT bezel because it's not a true dive watch. As you know, the only dial option now is the Good Planet blue dial w/ orange accents on the bezel, however the other dial choices below will be available soon. Just curious what everyone's thoughts are on the other dial choices...1) Black w/ Orange Number 2) Blue w/ Orange (Good Planet - Available Now) 3) Black w/ SS Numbers 4) Orange Misc Blue/Orange Bezel Pics (Awesome Watch - IMO):

My first Panerai and removing the crown guard.
Just got my PAM-112 today and I'm pretty much extatic.Just wanted to ask if it would be sensible to remove the two screws holding the crown guard in place to dettach it. The crown guard is full of gunk (because I bought a used one) and I would like to run it in my ultrasound cleaner (basically suspend it into water that's vibrating really fast). Do you see any reason not to?
