SalonQP 2013: A Most Personal Exhibition Of Fine Watches, Remarkable Brands And Astoundingly Difficult Crafts
I can't really think of another time when I found a 3:40 am wake-up feel any easier than it did just a couple of days ago. On this cold Budapest morning I got up as fresh as scarcely ever before, checked all my gear one last time?- laptop, camera, chargers, lenses, flash, memory cards, batteries - and finally set off to have what I would call "my first watch exhibition experience." My destination was the 2013 SalonQP fine watch exhibition, held between the 7th and 9th of November, in the Saatchi Gallery in the fabulous city of London.?Saying that I was excited would be a massive understatement. Although I was familiar with this annual event - we at watches-dealer have covered it several times - the thought of seeing so many special watches "in the metal," at the same place, at the same time had me counting down the days and weeks before the event started.Part of the list of exhibitors placed just by the elevators; The Fine Watch Room with its main exhibition piece in the centre and ano

AP Diver gained 12 seconds in 24 hours
I just got my AP diver back from the service center last week. I sent it in because it was gaining 15-17 seconds per day. I just checked today and it gained 12 seconds in 24 hours. This seems like a lot for a watch that was just serviced. Is this normal?

Patek ... respect!
I am very new to high quality watches, I just bought a Rolex 116610LN few weeks back, it was the first time I went over $500 for a watch. It was bought for a life achievement and it already is one of the coolest purchases I have ever made, meaning... I simply love it.I just want to tell you guys, you collectors/owners, that I salute the brand Patek Philippe, totally admire it, and love when you guys bust out the wrist shots.However listen up! I am a few years away from my 50th birthday, and each one of these wrist shots adds fuel to a future fire that I may not be able to control when that day arrives, so go easy on me ok... (KhalidSS you listening!) In all seriousness though, Patek Philippe represents (IMHO) the best of the best, and to own one is in itself a life achievement.Cheers!
