Cartier Astroregulateur Watch Flies In Space
2011 might be the "Astro" year for Cartier. Last year's Cartier Rotonde Astrotourbillon was such a hit that 2011 will have at least two new "Astro" watches. One will be the Calibre Astrotourbillon (with the Rotonde's existing movement), while this one is something totally different. The "Astroregulateur" (Astroregulator) has an escapement that is connected to the automatic rotor - that is mounted on the front of the dial.This concept is really confusing if you don't see it in action. Thankfully, there is a short video by SJX of the Purists on YouTube that we can check out that confirms what I assumed about how the movement worked. All of this is part of Cartier not letting down the fight in terms of showing the world how much they have to offer the watch nerd - as well as the style lover.The Astroregulator has an escapement and subsidiary seconds dial that spins freely with the rotor. The seconds hand still goes around the dial each minute, but the dial itself is spins around. Accordin

Weight of 15400St without the steel bracelet.
15202st booked and on its way in 2-3 months.Want a watch which I can wear with the rubber or leather strap and at a same time should feel little hefty on wrist. Considering the 15400st blue dialDiver and Offshore I didn't like much.

Very nice store.Saw some awesome pieces.The platinum tourbillon chronograph is unbelievably heavy.My FC on the right. Interesting to see how the bezels are finished differently.

Welp... We got a crazy one...

Would you buy AP or PP over a SS Rolex at current prices?
Given my last thread on current SS price markups and if you had the $$, would you buy any AP, PP over a $18k SS Markup. A quick perusal through the non Rolex FS section brought up some nice examples of each. I am coming around to buying an AP ROO 15400 instead.
