One of the Largest Collections of APs with Porsches, Bimmers and Other Cars
A little bit ago I had the pleasure of documenting one of the most amazing collections of AP that to my surprise came along a huge collection of Porsches, BMWs and other fast cars. Enjoy my friends!!!!

Very pleasant experience at AP boutique in Geneva
Today I took my brand new watch into to the AP boutique in Geneva. I wasn't quite sure what reception I would get....I've been in there a couple of times recently trying on watches. I needn't have worried. The guy who has looked after me on both of my visits greeted me warmly, and his smile did not change as I explained that I had bought a watch elsewhere for 25% less.They were charming, gave me coffee, took great care sizing my watch for me, removed the stickers, and gave it back to me in one of their nice leather travel boxes. I couldn't possibly have been better looked after.I chatted with the head watch-maker and learnt a couple of interesting little things....one needs a 1.4mm screwdriver to add/remove links from an SS 15400 and 1.2mm for a gold one....and, wait for it.....they recommend use of a watch winder.I walked out of the boutique wearing my watch, and for the first time it felt like mine.

Killer new strap for my Speedy 9300
Just got my new strap from John Glance at Dangerous9 in Germany. I thought the Tourbe Brune alligator in chocolate brown with ecru stitching would add a robust and casual look and John's craftsmanship is absolutely out of this world.Let me know what you think….

Suggestions for Patek Service...
Hello,I am contemplating my next large purchase by looking at Patek reference # 5119J from the Calatrava series. My question relates to service. I will most likely buy used and wondered what to expect for a typical service from Patek? Also curious if there is a well known option for service outside of Patek that is reasonable and provides excellent quality work. My main reason for the inquiry is I anticipate the piece I purchase to be outside of the warranty window should any issues arise. Any suggestions are appreciated.Thank you!!!
