Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Tourbillon Watch
This isn't the first tourbillon watch by Jaquet Droz, though it is the most elegant. A simple concept, this Grande Seconde Tourbillon takes the standard figure 8 dial design and inserts a classy looking tourbillon into the seconds dial. The resulting look is gorgeous and the tourbillon has a neat secret, but can you detect the amusing irony of the watch name?The original Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde watch was named as such because the seconds dial was placed in the larger part of the figure 8 style stacked dials. That is why it was called the "big seconds," because that dial was larger than the dial for the hour and minutes. In this case, to insert the tourbillon (which doubles as the seconds indicator), they used the smaller dial for the seconds. The watch is still called "Grande Seconde," but no longer is. Jaquet Droz could have produced a larger diameter tourbillon for the lower dial, or just changed the name of the watch. They didn't do either, but the second option would have made m

Its Here! New Audemars 15400
So my new 15400 I serial is finally here after a long and painful weekend. Its even more beautiful than I ever would have thought. Here are a few quick pics from my phone. Also I have a quick question about the clasp. In all the pictures I have seen, the clasp has an AP logo above the words Audemars Piguet but this one doesnt have that logo. Have they changed the design of the clasp? uploadfromtaptalk1384804500465.jpguploadfromtaptalk1384804508589.jpguploadfromtaptalk1384804518653.jpguploadfromtaptalk1384804528610.jpguploadfromtaptalk1384804535960.jpguploadfromtaptalk1384804545271.jpguploadfromtaptalk1384804552202.jpgSent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2

Black is beautiful.
Acquired a new Diver yesterday and already the black hornback is on the way from AP. This watch is a lot lighter than I thought and such a nice legible face. Thanks for all the nice info on this model from previous posters. Regards. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does your PO smell?
So, I have 3 nice watches that I rotate periodically. My wrist does not smell after wearing the Rolex or the Tag. They are looser, but they dont dangle by the bottom of my wrist - rather they are usually above the wrist bone.Now, I noticed serendipitously, that my wrist would smell like sweat after wearing the PO. I noticed that I have the PO sized a bit tighter - because it is heavier than the Sub and I like it to stay above the wrist bone...And the back of the PO's case has a margin around it - probably making a vacuum-like seal to the wrist.... probably making sweat accumulate after a few hours of wear.So, as gross as it may sound - is it just me or do you guys also notice a smell after wearing the PO?If not, then maybe I just have to loosen up the PO and it wont stick to one spot and create that weird smell.Sorry if it's gross, but this has been bugging me for months.

Toshi Strap
So I'm relatively new to the Panerai scene, but already love the ease of swapping straps! I love the various browns people use and think they suit the vintage image of a Pam. There are lots of them however so I am feeling bold! Managed to get a lime green oem strap when I bought the watch and love it. After reading plenty reviews here and on various web sites I decided to order a Toshi Strap. I have started tame with light blue and brown stitching. The quality of the strap is the same, if not better than oem! I cannot recommend the starap enough. Very soft and supple from the outset, fits the watch great, and is very comfortable. Not a photographer as you can see, but being a petrol head I have taken a picture of my dream watch (real) next to one of my dream cars (sadly not real and only a model one!).[IMG][/IMG]
