Has anyone ever contacted Francois Bennahmias?
Does anyone happen to have the email address for AP CEO Francois Bennahmias? I'm not selling anything. I would just like to write him an email about the AP watches I own. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates always read their own email. I'm hoping that Mr. Bennahmias does as well.

A good amount of Luminova
will give a great balance to the dial.

PO 2500 vs PO 8500 Comparative Review
Hello Guys, I want to start off by saying I am by no means a photographer but I did the best I could with my iphone and some indirect outdoor light. I purchased the PO 2500 in September 2011 and love it. Looking at pics of the 8500 model made me a bit jealous, so I had to go and pick up the new one, plan being to sell one of the two after wearing both. Below is a bit of a comparison of the two and my take on each.Side by side:The first thing that you'll notice is just how much bolder the face of the 8500 looks. The 2500 is very flat, whereas the 8500 has thicker indices, applied OMEGA emblem, and raised polished numerals, giving the dial an almost 3D appearance. Additionally, although it is hard to tell in the pic, the dial of the 8500 is much darker, the 2500 is a dark gray dial whereas the 8500 is a true black, though this comes down to preference (mine is towards the true black). Another detail that does not show through in the photo is the color of the lume on the indices duri

Patek reliability.....
Gentlemen, below is the thread I started over on the AP forum.... I look forward to hearing your views. Thanks.I am looking at getting my collection of Rolex down from 6 to 2 or 3, and then entering the rarified world of AP and PP. I'm liking the 15400 and the ROC, and also the PP 5167 and 5164.It may be my imagination, but I seem to read an awful lot about AP having serious problems of reliability. We don't appear to see the same thing over on the PP forum.Any comments from you knowledgable Gentlemen?
