In-Depth: Inside The Archives Of Audemars Piguet (Video)
To me, vintage Audemars Piguet is one of the most exciting, underappreciated, and beautiful categories of watches to study and collect. But let's not get it twisted.I won't pretend that as a whole, the vintage Patek Philippe market doesn't trump just about all other vintage markets combined, including AP. Still, that doesn't mean individually Pateks are the most valuable, desirable, rare, or even most interesting. I would contend, and I know I'm not alone in this, that piece by piece, a complicated, vintage Audemars Piguet is far more interesting than your average complicated vintage Patek, and after this article, I think you'll agree with me. 1 OF 60 Today, we've prepared for you a highly detailed recap of a full day that we spent with the team at Audemars Piguet digging through some of their most important and beautiful early-20th-century pieces. Our hosts for this exploration will be Sebastian Vivas, director of the Audemars Piguet Museum in

Please help me choose my very first AP.....
Hello AP lovers here. Please help me pick my very first AP. I have narrowed it down into the two as below.- black dial: ROO Chronograph Themes H series.- White dial: ROO Navy Themes I series.I have Daytona white in steel, Two tone DJ, and Omega Planet ocean Ceramic 42 (black bezel with orange letter). I'm usually in casual and rarely dress up. I'm torn dead half and half- I like classic sports look of the black dial whereas I don't mind having little flashiness of the Navy(to me)I understand I is newer than H series. My research has founded that ROO Navy is arguably the least popular ROO series which is hard to believe. Any advise/tip would be appreciated.Thanks and looking forward to your input.

You guys are such enablers!
You're starting to give me the bug to get an AP. Curious, what's a good deal on a new or used AP percentwise? Is it similar to Rolex, or are the prices more flexible? We looking at 20-25% off new, 35% off used, or what? Thanks a lot you, you.... my mother warned me about guys like you!

422 vs 233 dome question
I have been curious on what are more distinct domeness of the sapphire crystal between 422 and 233. The website states that 422 has 3mm thick sapphire formed of corundum while 233 has 2mm thick sapphire. I only held a 233 up close and have not seen 422 in person. For my fellow WIS, who have seen both in person side by side, can you tell me which has more distinct domeness between the 2? probably also which crystal distorts less or more. Thank you all for the help and knowledge. Cholo

Back from RSC New York, Care of Rolex Mich Ave. 111% satisfied!!
Dear All,So I gently complained about the $1350.00 RSC charge, but am super satisfied. First off, like to thank Rolex Boutique, Mich. Ave (Sales associates, Ben and Andrew) for their customer service and hospitality. Second, I don't have pics prior to service, since I didn't think about it, but my watch was pretty beat up. I dailyed it literally for 6 years and it was pretty beat up. It had a 1/5 of inch scar on the bezel at the 200 mark. There was a significant scratch/dent on the clasp and I know I dinged the crown/lugs a couple of times on my kitchen counter. Additionally, minute scratches all over the watch. Third, I took about 10 pics for those of you who want finer detail as to the RSC service. I was wearing a swatch for about a month and noticed how the Daytona bezel was really pronounced this time. Like it had a heft to it. Also, I told the sale associate to not polish the bezel, but it was polished anyway. Other Rolexers would prob. be mad, but I was happy that the
