Exciting Incoming- Laptimer
Out of the blue last week I decided I was ready to try a concept AP. I was pretty dead set on one of the toubillon pieces. After a few phone calls with Paul and some much needed enabling, I sent a random text in regards to the Laptimer. Neither of us thought it was even an option, but the response to my text indicated that one was sitting in the safe as another client had backed out. It had just come in and would be the only one this AD would receive. What were the chances of that?The piece came on Wednesday and after spending some quality time with it this weekend in Chicago watching the Cubs lose, I am excited to present the AP Laptimer!Thanks to Paul for always pushing me into decisions I shouldn't make ;)

Panerai trade for 15400?
Now that I'm back in love with AP I have a few things I'm thinking of getting rid of.I have a dealer friend who has a brand new 15400 silver dial and would trade for my Panerai 224 plus a little cash. The 224 was a limited run of 100 pieces sold only through the Florence Boutique.Thoughts?Lindsey

Royal Oak or Vacheron Constantin dual time?
Both have the same designation for the GMT models, one is 39mm while the other, the VC, is 42mm, the RO is steel bracelet, the VC is nice in titanium with leather/rubber strap, you have one of each when you buy it, the price new from grey dealer is more or less the same for a new piece.Can't download a pic from the site so here's a link to the VC:.vacheron-constantin/f...7450-000w-9511Same thing for the RO so here's the link:.audemarspiguet/en/wat...k#!CO:RO.EP:COBoth are great looking IMO, the VC being more modern and using titanium.I understand that the debate will be biased this being a AP forum, but what do you think of both models, their pluses and minuses, knowing that I am cutting down on my collection and aiming for a 3 watch collection, 2 of which are ordered, the Rolex Hulk, sub c LV, and the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712.Which according to you would be the perfect third to complete the trio?Thanks in advance for your thoughts and advices

Look of a Blue Dial 5712r ?
I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to photoshop this...I didn't think it actually existed yet (unless I'm incorrect). Thought I'd take a quick stab at it. This is the first time I've uploaded a pic so hopefully it shows. Your thoughts?
