Audemars Piguet Announces New, Ultramodern Museum
Audemars Piguet, the oldest luxury watch company still owned by its founding families, has announced plans to extend its historic headquarters building to incorporate a new museum called the Maison des Fondateurs, a “radically contemporary” new structure that will be naturally integrated into the surrounding Vall��e de Joux landscape.Audemars Piguet inaugurated its first museum in 1992 inside the original Audemars family home, and later expanded it to the entire house in 2004. Its collection includes more than 1,300 timepieces that are part of the brand’s heritage and span 250 years of history. This year, the museum enters a new, transformative phase. Audemars Piguet has enlisted the Copenhagen- and New York-based architectural firm BIG CPH to design the extension, which will add a new 25,800 square-foot structure incorporating exhibition spaces (where nearly 400 watches will be on display) as well as workshops, reception and meeting areas, and professionally conserved

James Bond Wears Omega Watch In 007: Blood Stone Video Game
While this is not exactly a surprise, it is pretty neat. James Bond has been wearing an Omega watch for a long time (since maybe 1995). The brand was able to usurp Rolex - as was the watch chosen by Ian Flemming originally. In the upcoming James Bond 007: Blood Stone video game, the digitized version of the Daniel Craig will wear a prominent Omega Seamaster Professional Ref. 22005000 watch. It is part of the Planet Ocean collection and has a retail price of $3,950. I believe that this is the same watch he wore in one of the recent movies. Perhaps Quantum of Solace.The watch is a good look for Band (and anyone really), and is thankfully not one of the branded limited edition models made for the fact that 007 wears an Omega. The Seamsater Pro is a 45.5mm wide model and funny enough looks smaller on the digital character's wrist than it should given the size of the case. Unless I missed something and Daniel Craig has massive wrists. So imagine you have never seen the watch, play the game,

The Panerai 1940 3 Days Ceramica
In addition to three new releases last month, Officine Panerai has released the new Radiomir 1940 3 Days Ceramica, 48 mm PAM00577, which was inspired by historical watches from the 1930s. The new black ceramic case adds a contemporary flair to this otherwise minimalist design.The black matte ceramic cushion-form case is more durable and lightweight than ever before. It is a high performing material that is resistant to scratches and high temperatures. The black sandwich dial features simple Super LumiNova dot and dagger indexes that are clearly visible under water. Additionally, the dial features a relief image of the Silura a Lenta Corsa, or human torpedo, in commemoration of Panerai's involvement with the Italian Navy in the 1930s. 1 OF 2 The P.3000 manual-winding movement is created at the Panerai manufacturer in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. The movement features a jumping hour hand when adjusting the time – without interfering with the running of the watch

15703 Diver Bezel
I was wondering if anyone happened to know the cost of a new steel bezel for the 15703 diver. Has this been a scratch magnet for the Diver enthusiasts? If so, would like to see some banged up pics
