Jaeger-LeCoultre and Aston Martin Launch New AMVOX7 Chronograph
In 2005, Swiss watch brand Jaeger-LeCoultre joined with British car maker Aston Martin to produce the first AMVOX, ushering in JLC’s line of “vertical trigger” chronograph wristwatches. This year, the luxury brands join forces once more on the AMVOX7, the first model with a radial power-reserve display.The AMVOX7 Chronograph, which commemorates the eighth anniversary of the partnership between Jaeger-LeCoultre and Aston Martin, features a new, more ergonomically designed case and modifications to the crown, lugs and strap that are also meant to ensure optimum wearer comfort.Like the first AMVOX watch and all the others that followed it, the AMVOX7 has as its signature feature a chronograph mechanism that is operated not by side-mounted push-buttons but by simply pressing on the watch’s crystal.

Understanding 'The Owl' RO 25572
Hi guysSo, I'm not the biggest AP lover. I've always gravitated towards JLC but I've always been a fan of 'the owl', the RO day date (with or without moon phase). I think they are works of art in their simplicity and have had a love affair with them for some time now.I've only purchased one or two brand new pieces and tend to go for vintage watches and have my eye on a 1984 steel and gold variation of the owl (25572SAO/0789SA02).

Having now seen the archive extract of the watch it states 2224/2810 when up to this point I believed that it was the 2124/2810 combination inside the case, particularly for one this age. Why/how could this be inside the watch?Secondly, the crown of this particular owl is gold. Again, all my research, discussions and previous watches I've

Superstar AD
Two years ago I visited my local AD and ordered a 5711. They stated a wait time of 9-12 months. 5 months later and I received my first Nautilus:Being the greedy so and so that I am I went back last Dec to put my name down for a 5712. Bearing in mind the market has sky rocketed, 5 year waiting lists and many ADs not even entertaining the idea of getting a SS Nautilus I was surprised when my AD said 6-12 months. Well they've done it again and with just a 6 month wait!And thy gave me a very nice gift to go along with it:And finally a picture of the awesome twosome:

what brand is this watch??
not so easy to tell from the dial strange to many but maybe understood here....took this pic when working at home before a vacation. had to spend time with a few pieces not making the trip since i'd miss them.

If you were buying a new Rolex today, SS, 2 tone or solid PM?
And why?
