Bertolucci Giro Chronograph Watches Have A Freaky Face
It is entirely possible that my warped mind sees watches differently than other people do. Over the course of my writing about Bertolucci watches, they have always looked interesting, but a bit strange to me. I finally connected a few of the things that some of their common Chronograph models remind of me. Maybe you agree? You can tell that these watches are all part of the same family. Some or all are Bertoluccia Giro (All-Black Giro see here), and some are just called Bertolucci Quartz Chronograph watches. No matter the name, they each have large, gaping mouths. Why? I couldn't tell you. Though here are some of the possible design influences. My favorite is near the bottom of course. Each is highly disturbing in its own way. Bertolucci might need to occasionally revise their "Mediterranean Inspiration" sloganto something else.I like Bertolucci watches mostly, they are nicely made and designed. Often with quartz movements, but good lookers for the fashion crowd. Though these watches a

A Private Night with AP
It might be long overdue, but how can I not share my experience of a wonderful night with AP which opened my eyes to some of the most exquisite complications from my favorite watch house?On 19 Nov 2014, AP Singapore hosted a private dinner at Morton's, one of the best steakhouses, and showcased an array of complicated watches from the antique to the most avant-garde. Sebastian Vivas, the Museum Director from Le Brassus, was flew in specially to share his knowledge on some of AP's most important timepieces as well as the latest high complications.?Antonio introducing SebastianAs usual, key members from the AP family: Oliviero, Antonio, Bindy, Stefanie and Jeremie were ever so hospitable as they chatted heartily with the invited guests and AP enthusiasts amidst the delicious food and wines. In between courses, Sebastian would 'pop up' for a few minutes of presentations, then followed by trays of beautiful watches being dished out for admiration. The up-close experience with these highly

AP ROC back from its Virgin Europe Trip
I was on a business trip to Europe for two weeks in September. Besides attending one of the biggest rail trade fair, Innotrans 2012, in Berlin, I also visited Munich and London. Works aside, the trip would not be completed without some sightseeing, as well as a once-in-a-lifetime experience to the Oktoberfest at its place of origin in Bavaria of Germany. With so many actions happening during the trip, I'm really pleased to say that my ROC, the only watch I brought along with me, has weathered extremely well as a competent and enjoyable travel companion. ================================================== =====================================A short review, or rather a sharing of impression, of my ROC 26300 White dial... It is fantastic and extremely enjoyable to wear! After owning it for two months, with an intensive traveling in Europe, I must say that the silvery dial, the masculine lines and the multitude of finely brushed and polished surfaces on the chronograph case and bracelet h

New acquisition, need help.
So today I took in a watch for partial payment. It is an omega ladies 14k white gold watch. I have tested the gold and know it is real. The watch is not currently running but I think it, with a good spa treatment, work and be nice again. Pictures are below but incase you can't read the markings they are as follows: inside of case back has triangle with omega symbol and omega watch co underneath that is 14k goldThen aa8928 and the case sn after that. Movement: omega watches seventeen 17 jewels. Swiss unadjusted the omega symbol and 484 ( movement #) and a movement sn.Thanks in advance! I believe that this is from the mid to late 60s as I know the movement didn't come about until 63 and I found one similar but in yellow gold with an earlier sn from 1966.

5712
Hi all,As some know I sold my 5712 because I needed some money to make a great investment, but God I miss it, I thought that one day when I can I might add money and flip my AP to get a RM, 035-01 probably, but I realize that no I MUST get a 5712 some day, it's just the most awesome everyday watch for me, so no regrets having sold it, it was for a very goo purpose, but getting one back is mandatory and I won't get any new watch before I got it back, don't intend to flip my AP either, I love it and want to be like I was before, the AP and the PP, and if on top of that I can one day add the RM I will be the happiest guy in the world, in the foreseeable future I will probably have the funds for the watch sector in about 1 year, there are still great investments to be made and I consider investing in things that will give me a comfortable retirement more important than having my PP back at the moment, as long as I have at least 1 cool watch I'm ok with that, but to be honest when I see a 5
