Introducing: The Patek Philippe 5327, A Brand New Perpetual Calendar Model In A New 39mm Case (Live Pics)
This year, Patek put the focus on higher end complications, not the least of which is the perpetual calendar. We have an entirely new reference in the 5327, which is very much the same in the grand scheme of things, thought very much different in the world of Patek Philippe. The watch replaces the 5140, though the 5140 will remain in production in a black tuxedo dial and a new grey dial, both in platinum for a limited time. The 5327's story is all about the case and dial, and in some way offers a lot of what modern Patek buyers might want �C a larger case and Breguet dial. 1 OF 3 The 5327 shares a similar case design to the Calatrava 5227. First, one must understand that the 5327 uses the very same movement that has existed with Patek perpetuals for 35+ years �C caliber 240Q. So that means, technically, you'll have roughly the same movement as you'll see in the 5140 and the 3940 before that. With that comes a great micro-rotor, self-winding caliber that is quite thin,

Introducing: The Montblanc 4810 Orbis Terrarum
Last year, Montblanc released the Spirit Orbis Terrarum World Time with in-house(ish) movement. This year they have extended that design with the 4810 Collection Orbis Terrarum. This year’s 4810 Orbis Terrarum is similar to the one released last year with the exception of the color scheme and case shape. 1 OF 2 The new 4810 has the same caliber MB 29.20 automatic movement as the Spirit. The world-time dial features 24 different cities in 24 different time zones. The dial is composed of multiple layers of sapphire crystal that rotate accordingly. The main difference between the Spirit model and the 1480 is the color scheme.While last year’s model indicated the nighttime hours by shading the countries in dark blue and the daylight hours countries in light blue. This year the countries during daylight hours are colored in shades of yellow, orange, and green. Additionally, the 43 mm stainless-steel case is a slightly different shape with stepped lugs. 2 OF

Joining the AP fam
I've been eyeing the 44mm rose gold ROO for a while, and I finally pulled the trigger! Thanks to Peter (aka Lee2375) for the smooth purchase. Definitely stretched the budget to get this, and although I might have to sleep on the couch for the next year, totally worth it!

Finally got it!!! AP 15202 has landed.
First of all thanks for all your help guys. The pictures, emails, texts, phone calls, and responses have been great and overwhelming. Esp big thanks to my boy Jrock that introduced me to this piece and really swayed me towards the Jumbo. And now, onto the pictures!!Got the package during a meeting so I was rushing through it trying to get to the unboxing! Finally sat down and started going to work on the package. And there is the box, too bad it wasn't a HUGE SE box but oh well, nice none the less.Wrapped up like a mummy... This is the first NIB AP I have ever bought and it had stickers all over the thing!!! Took me about 5 min alone to peel off all the stickers, nice that they put so much though into keeping the watch scratch free during transit. Maybe about 15 total stickers on the thing, covering EVERYTHING. Nice touch. And now to the wrist shot!! (I know the date was not set)Initial impressions - PERFECT size watch... at first I thought it might be a tad too small but it looks awes

Anyone else a maxi case convert?
For the longest time, I couldn't get on board with the 6-digit maxi cases. I thought the lugs were too thick and the crown guards were too large. But that opinion was based mainly on pictures, and the handful of times I tried on maxi cases at an AD. Because of that outlook, my first two Rolex watches were the 14060M and 16710 (which are absolutely great).But that all changed about 3-4 weeks ago when I picked up a BLNR. Despite the maxi case, I couldn't resist the beautiful bezel and figured if I couldn't get used to the maxi case, the BLNR would be easy to sell. Now that I've had a few weeks of wrist time with the maxi case, it doesn't bother me one bit and I actually really like it. The difference in lug thickness between the cases seems much larger in pictures than it does in real life. Anyone else here start out opposed to the maxi cases and now your opinion has changed?
