Richard Mille’s New Tourbillon and Automatic
You may want to head back to school for a Ph.D in material science before reading any further. Describing his new Aerodyne Tourbillon, Richard Mille says “Orthorhombic titanium aluminides are new group of alloys, developed from the main class of titanium aluminides, which possess a specific crystalline molecular structure ordered on the orthorhombic phase of Ti2AlNb. Its use within a honeycombed geometrical pattern was originally the subject of research by NASA for application as a core material of supersonic aircraft wings, where resistance to extremely high temperatures and torsion is paramount…”Mille continues “The alloy in this honeycombed form has unparalleled stiffness, a low thermal expansion coefficient and exceptional torsion resistance. The actual shape of the baseplate itself as seen from the dial side resembles the trench-like V-shaped profile of a flying wing aircraft where the wing tips are positioned higher than the central body of the aircraft it

Costco selling Gold and SS Chronomat 41
I saw a chronomat 41 in rose gold and SS at local costco for a discount price of $5.5k. The list price is about $13,100. This is the discontinued model. What do you guys think of this watch as a whole and then at the price point it's being sold at Costco. Also what's your take on buying it at Costco? thanks.

New purchase....
Couldn't resist this one, not Rolex this time but damn is this watch beautiful to look at. When I set it next to my DSSD it makes it look like a Submariner.

New strap for 45mm PO
After over 3 months I finally received the call from the AD that my Omega rubber strap and deployant had arrived. Strap is # 98000366...Has a very nice curved fit to the case....The deployant is # 94522033...Interesting design; the tail of the strap is next to the wrist....I am puzzled by the pricing, however. These are BNIB parts and the AD charged me a total of $450 for the both of them. Seems like a good deal, almost too good. But that was what he quoted, I accepted, and I paid. I am really happy with this strap and deployant.....

Which should she wear?
I'm also putting this in the Rolex section for a comparo.
