Watch Spotting: Audemars Piguet CEO Francois Bennahmias Wearing A Royal Oak Extra-Thin Tourbillon At
Dropping by the Audemars Piguet lounge at Art Basel this week, we just had to see what the man in charge, CEO Francois Bennahmias, had on his wrist. While he could be sporting something much more complicated or over-the-top, we caught glimpses of something much more understated from under Bennahmias' cuff. It turns out he was wearing the Royal Oak Extra-Thin Tourbillon, a piece that combines the history of the Royal Oak and the robustness of a true sport watch with the complexity of an ultra-thin tourbillon, perfectly encapsulating what makes Audemars Piguet so interesting today. 2 OF 5 Audemars Piguet is in its second year of sponsorship with Art Basel, the world's leading fair for high-end contemporary art, that, funnily enough, takes place in the very same exhibition halls as Baselworld.

TTT: Two Time Tuesday
Finally got a chance to take a photo of my newest pickups. Super blessed and thankful to be able to add these two bad boys to my growing collection.

Panerai 587 Sale?
I don't know if it's of interest to anyone but in my search for a 587 I found one at Jomashop of all places!Spoke to them this morning and they have it in stock for immediate overnight shipping. Downside is it won't have the certificates book.Upside a scarcely believable $7795!!!!!I eventually bought from Jacek as I prefer a full set and supporting TRF sellers.Would be curious to know how they came by it as I thought they were all presold before they were even in ADs.

Rolex goes upmarket
I read a post a few months ago about rolex going up market and i cant help but feel thus is true.Called in to my AD today was told stock levels are hopeless and waiting lists are closed. This is the same AD I bought two subs from new. Was told numerically speaking I was not a VIP customer and would not find my self on any list.I can’t undertand how stock levels can be so low, its either rolex is genuinely holding back stock or ADs are selling direct to the grey market.What are your thoughts on current supply? Will it get any better? Its been atleast two years now?Time to move on. AP here i come...

Yachtmaster II
Only recently have I been looking to the Yachtmaster II. Not that I own a yacht or anything, but this highly complicated Rolex and its looks drew my attention more and more. Before I jump to any hasty conclusions I was wondering what the forum thinks of this model, and more specifically about the first and second iteration. Can't wait to read your comments. Thanks.
