What Do The Patek Philippe 3582 & The Apple Watch Have In Common?
I've been enjoying the Apple Watch for more than a few days at the time this post was written �C and it has got me thinking a lot about not just the future of electronic wrist watch functionality, but also watch design overall. What I've been most interested in is not only how smartwatch design will continue to evolve, but also what design precedents came before the Apple Watch that either helped inspire it or that it appears to coincidentally resemble.So, with that in mind, I felt it was a good idea to put together this fun little article on the odd similarities between the obscure Patek Philippe Ellipse Ref. 3582 (3582G) and the Apple Watch.

Serious reliability questions on modern RO's...
I recently wanted to buy a Ro, the regular model new style in 41mm, here's a link to show you which one I'm talking about as I am not a specialist and don't know the OP references:.shop.rivierawatch/fr/...oyal-oak-.htmlThis grey dealer having sold me and my wife a few watches, we have developed quite a nice relation with him and he is very honest.While wanting to buy a watch that he has in stock, he told me to avoid buying one as, according to him, OP has a 25% return rate on their RO's, how is that even possible???

Patek Nautilus vs. Rolex Oyster SS Bracelets
Chaps, as an owner of both brands and bracelets with the onset of warmer weather, I'm curious what your thoughts are on both. Do you favor one over the other ? If so, why ? Does the finishing on a Patek bracelet outweigh the Oyster for you ? Thanks for the candid responses !

5147g
Anyone got a 5147G? If so, what do you think of it? How blue is that blue enamel face? Is it dark blue or almost black (it looks almost black on the Patek web site)?Do you wear it daily or mostly as a dress watch for the evening?
