The Road To Basel Episode 1: Seeing The Unseen With Vacheron Constantin
You've followed us on Instagram and Twitter, you've seen the teaser, and now it's time to show you what we were up to all along the #roadtobasel. This will be a multi-part video series documenting Ben and Will's voyage from Paris, through Burgundy to Geneva, to the Vallée de Joux, back to Geneva, through the Mont Blanc tunnel to Lake Como and Milan, up to Lucerne, and finally on to Basel itself. In episode one, we visit the historic maison of one of the world's greatest watchmakers – Vacheron Constantin. When we told them we were coming, they asked us what we wanted to see. We said, "show us the three watches you are most proud of." And that's exactly what we saw that day in Geneva, and what you'll see here today – three previously unseen, incredibly important, and massively rare complicated watches from Vacheron's own internal historical department. 1 OF 3 The first watch dates to 1884 and is a two-faced perp

Royal Oak for 40th?
Hello folksWriting in from India. I have the big 40th coming up and I've been looking at something special to mark the occasion. I have the opportunity of purchasing a new Royal Oak ref 15400 ST from an AD in India and was wondering if a white dial would be more versatile than the grey/ black dial one? The AD has the watch wrapped in cling film so it's hard for me to appreciate the true beauty of the White dial. Is the white suitable for both casual and formal occasions as opposed to the grey/ black?I'm getting a 20% discount from the AD in Delhi, which brings the price of the Royal Oak to about US$ 15,500. Is that a good deal?How does the AP hold up to daily wear. I believe it's quite a scratch magnet and while most of my time is spent at the desk, I'm worried about picking up scuffs on the bracelet. Is it really as bad as it's made out to be?A 38.5 mm Lange & Sohne Saxonia in yellow gold is also available at the same price (there's a 30% discount on it) and that's the other watch

Separated at birth. I realize many collectors have a singular focus be it on brands, complications, military watches whatever. My own collection, while from time to time has been weighted towards certain brands, today spans a broad range. Patek holds just one position in the collection, this 5711. I have been thinking about adding another but up to now have not done so.I appreciate the knowledge shared here, thanks to all for their input.
