Pierre DeRoche Split Rock Dare Watch Collection
This watch is a self-admitted combination of luxury watch making and the "art" of graffiti from watch maker Pierre DeRoche. What is charming is that the Swiss watch maker sought out a Swiss based graffiti artist - who'd a thought right? The artist they worked with is Sigi Dare von Koeding, who takes graffiti art and makes it into fine art. I like his work, but think that it might be hard for lots of people to take it too seriously depending on the role that graffiti has played in their life. I for one being born and raised in Los Angeles have a perception that while graffiti is a cool art form, it has a strong association with vandalism - which is true when you think about how it all started. You should check out the link to his site (click his name above) for views of his work.If you look below, you'll notice one of his paintings called "Dare." It takes the word "Dare" and writes it many times in graffiti text. The same term is applied to these three limited edition Pierre DeRoche S

Buying 15202 from AP Boutique- Is it worth it?
Hello everyone,Long time lurker and have learned immensely from all of you. I have decided to buy the 15202 blue dial in stainless steel and here is the dilemma. I can get it from the AP boutique for retail with 5 yrs warranty and possibly some knick knacks thrown in, likely nothing of value or buy one from one of our trusted sellers for about $1700 less. I will not be paying sales tax either way. I know I can get an extra yr of warranty if I buy from an AD but have to send it in for a ?check up, but is the extra 2 yrs worth the extra money?Thanks in advance and excited about my first AP!!

Added Rubber B to Daytona 116519 today
Hi everyone, I received my rubber b black strap and replaced the leather strap on my 116519 panda. Came with no instructions but few videos on YouTube. Sizing was biggest pain but I think was worth it. Like the almost oysterflex look. Appreciate any feedback both positive and negative.

Long Wait!!
Just dropped off my GMT at the AD for a service, I only bought the watch second hand a couple of weeks ago and finally got the time to take it in. The time frame I was given was 2-4 weeks to receive the quote, then 6-8 weeks from time of approval to it being ready, lucky I have my DJ to wear in the meantime! Excited for it to come back looking like new so I can start my own journey with the watch and know it's in perfect health. Do any of you guys follow the same approach when obtaining a second hand watch? What do you do in the meantime while you're waiting for it to return?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
