UPDATED: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Acoustic Research Episode 1 Watch
We have said this before and will say it again: while?unceasingly impressive from a technical point of view, traditional minute repeater wristwatches?tend to have a soberingly underwhelming sound when operated and experienced personally. This is the?result of thick cases done in precious metals?like gold and platinum, as well as?the ancient layout?and functioning?of this centuries old mechanism.?With?their?2015 concept piece called the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak?Concept Acoustic Research Episode 1, the Le Brassus-based manufacture?strives to join the extremely close circle of high-end watch brands who have set out to improve upon the acoustic performance of this mind-bogglingly complex, and yet in some ways obsolete?complication.The?case design will be familiar to seasoned watch enthusiasts: it is the?Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept with its unusual, angular lug structure.?As per the norm, it is this case that?carries the brand's experimental calibers, which pave its way?into uncharte

Luxury watchmaker Audemars embraces second-hand
I am interested in your opinion on this new direction from APhttps://.reuters/article/us-s...-idUSKBN1F80LN

Looking for Guidance
Hey guys. I just found this listing from Patrick. I have not yet bought anything from him, but we have spoken in the past and the guy is an absolute pleasure. That said, I am very interested in this AP, yet I know little about the brand. At 42mm and 14.5 thick, this does not seem very big. For reference, the standard speedy is 42mm and 13.5 thick. Can anyone tell me more about AP lume? And do you think this is OK as a daily. I am in casual wear 100% of the time. Does it feel tough as in a Rolex, are they reliable etc...Any thoughts or info you could provide would be appreciated. .rolexforums/showthread.php?t=493985

Black GMT & Batman still listed
Looks like the black gmt and Batman still available on the site.

Who has bought an 116500ln from the grey market?
There seems to be a lot of Daytona C's on eBay etc. That are being advertised a number of times and wondered if they are really selling in the $18k range or is that wishful thinking by the sellers?
