the new Versace watch contains tiny pieces of mother-of-pearl
The exclusive material used for the case and buckle of the new Versace watch contains tiny pieces of mother-of-pearl that give them a stunning finish.

Any jewelers that can polish AP bezels?
Guys i have a 18K rubberclad and i want to remove the rubber and have the bezel polished. The bezel is already off the watch. I know lots of shops/jewelers have done this. Does anyone know of anyone i can send the bezel to? AP themselves wont do this.

Daytona 116509 grey racing dial or AP 15400st black dial
Which one would you guys choose? I know we're on the Rolex forum but any other opinions or pros and cons of either would be appreciated. I would just like some discussion to help make my mind up!I am after a pride of place watch and I was about to buy the AP 15400st (2016) for ?12500 (I understand you can get a discount on new ones in the US?) when I saw the 2013 116509 for ?16000.I know there is a price difference but that is not the point, either of these will be the most I have ever spent on a watch. This buy is for a watch that I will keep rather than sell on, having said that value retention is still important to me. I really liked the AP and still do but the 116509... It just seems more special.Thanks all

I like the idea of the map layout, but will all the white/snow on the dial affect the contrast with the hands making it less legible? I think I prefer the R and the J that have a certain warmth. And why did Patek have to go with a bracelet? I saw online that this will now weigh close to half a pound! Totally unnecessary…. 5131_1P_001.png2.5960G – While the watch looks more appealing than the silver dialed steel counterpart, this is a very strange move that may hurt the value of the 5960P with blue dial which was rarer than the grey dialed 5960P. Patek probably could care less, but a nod to your loyal collector base would be nice by not reissuing essentially the same dial in a white gold case. Now that we are on topic, a few big collectors are quite upset that
