Introducing: The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon Extra-Thin In Platinum

This review is about why, as a watch enthusiast, I love my Omega Speedmaster Professional. The Omega Speedmaster Professional is not a modern watch.

All these waiting lists have made me leave the watch world
Regret to say this, but the waiting lists on attractive models and talk about investment in watches makes me want to puke and have totally put me off from the hobby. i One guy off the wanting lists which should be good for you guys. To be serious don't you think this in the long term will happen to more people and hurt brand perception?
