Ralph Lauren Adds Blue-Stripe Limited Edition to Ceramic Sporting Collection
Ralph Lauren has added a new color option for the racing stripe on the bracelet of its collection of black matte ceramic chronograph watches. The ceramic-case chronographs are part of Ralph Lauren's Sporting Collection.Earlier this year, the firm unveiled watches with black ceramic bracelets featuring rubber center links in bold colors running the length of the bracelet. One model had a yellow stripe, the other a red stripe (pictured below).Now comes a third color �C blue �C in a limited production of just 25 watches. The new blue racing stripe model, like the yellow and red stripe versions, is powered by an automatic column-wheel chronograph movement, RL750, made for Ralph Lauren by Jaeger-LeCoultre. The movement has 261 components, a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, and a 48-hour power reserve. The watch has six hands: a central hour and minute hand, both sword-shaped, and a baton-shaped central chronograph hand measuring elapsed seconds. The seconds are shown in a subdial at 6

Bam Beast! ROO in rose gold 44mm. I'm in love!!
So I have been a watch fanatic for a long time. After starting out with a $300 Tissot way back when, working my way up to a Breitling eventually. Then came a Corum, another Breitling, a Zenith, a Hublot, this and that and finally I stopped at a brand that I absolutely love! Let me correct that, my heart goes out to two brands actually: Hublot and Audemars Piguet. Although one has to say that AP has the edge due to its long standing history, the tradition and heritage. Plus the quality is just astounding. If you haven't held an AP in your hand, the pictures barely ever do it justice.So after careful consideration with my fiancee, I decided to do the reasonable thing and spend what some people put down on a house to add to my collection. and behold.... here it is: The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 44mm in Rose Gold. I always enjoy looking at people's pictures of their new watches, so I hope you do the same :) Absolutely in love with this watch. It pops on the wrist like no other. Fi

Speedy 145.022 '68 back from the spa!
Arrived yesterday after a movement service. Also had a Priek caseback installed so I can enjoy the view. Not a fan of the 1039 bracelet, so trying out a couple of kevlar straps with it.

New Nautilus Question
Hey Everyone,I am still working on saving up for a 5726 grey on a bracelet, but have put my name on lists because I will have the money soon enough.Now my question, are the cufflinks included in the purchase price? I have been seeing many get matching cufflinks with their purchase, but it seemed like a free gift, but then I read about the new 5740G and you get the cufflinks with the watch - I know the price difference is huge, but I noticed that on Patek's website, all have cufflinks in the product page:https://.patek/en/collection/...us/5740-1G-001 - has cufflinkshttps://.patek/en/collection/...us/5711-1A-010 - has cufflinkshttps://.patek/en/collection/...us/5726-1A-001 - has cufflinksSo - just wondering if I should be expecting these when I talk to the AD? Or is it just Patek trying to convince me to buy them :)Also - if they are free gifts, do you tell the AD you sort of expect them, especially in these days where full retail is basically the price you pay??

Patek 5167A Clarification Needed
Hello all-I'm currently going back and forth between purchasing this watch.There are 2 questions that keep coming up in my head and I've tried looking all over but end up a little more confused the deeper I dig.1. I don't have any other watches so this would be it. Would the 5167 stand up to the daily wear and tear of other 'dive' watches like the Sub C? I feel like there are 2 camps, one says that this would be a great daily full time watch. The other says, it is too delicate and wouldn't be able to take 'normal' everyday use.Can anyone whose owned this watch shed some light on this?2. I've heard that this model has had a bad rap with winding issues and not keeping time that great. Has anyone experienced this?Thanks again for the help!
