Girard-Perregaux Three Bridge Neo Tourbillon Automatic Watch For 2014
The iconic Three Bridge Tourbillon collection from Girard-Perregaux has been one of the more understated, yet interesting high-end timepieces available for quite sometime. Originally based on the design of a Girard-Perregaux pocket watch from the late 19th century, the aesthetic of three distinct parallel bridges and a tourbillon has been a key part of the brand for as long as I can recall. A new version with an automatic and an updated design has been released for 2014 at the Baselworld watch show.Known as the "Neo Tourbillon With Three Bridges," the timepiece is most noteworthy for playing with the design of the bridges themselves. Retained are the arrow point ends, but now they are now skeletonized. Further, the 2014 Girard-Perregaux Three Bridge Neo Tourbillon Automatic model will have titanium bridges in a deep gray color with a very interesting look.

Known AP QC issues to look for?
I'm going to begin the process I think of seriously looking into my first AP, a 15400 Blue from a boutique. I posed this question to the Rolex forum before I got into the search for my BLNR and now I'll ask the same thing here. What QC issues are there to look out for when buying APs, specifically the 15400?For example, with Rolex I usually look for bezel alignment (most common QC issue in my opinion), text alignment on the dial, cyclops alignment, rehaut alignment, lume application, foreign objects under the dial and a non sticking date wheel. Are there any known QC issues in AP? For roughly 2x in price I would hope most of there our be eliminated but you never know!

Hello all,I am not an expert in Ap's but i wanted to ask about the ability to use them as an everyday watch? would you go for the trade?Also, how durable are the leather straps? i live in an area with a lot of rain and snow, and so, i dont get worried with my Rolex Sub-C lv in these conditions?Sorry for the newbie type question, i would appreciate your points of view.Thanks
