No love for AP Royal Oak Chrono 26320? Owners PLS show photos here :D
Hi everyone, I've been looking at getting an AP. I'm kind of torn between the 1.AP ROO (not the new ones with the exhibition back)2. and the AP ROC. I'm looking at definitely looking for a timeless watch, which will be relatively easy keep. I flip alot of watches, my Breitlings/IWC/Hamiltons etc but with this sort of money, i'm looking at a watch to keep for a long time. Some points i'm considering are:1. Whether the ROO will eventually be too 'large' for modern standards in say another 10-20 years (I know this is hard to gauge, and is more often than not subjective)2. How well the rubber parts on the crowns and pushers for the ROO would last (some say they go after a couple of years and are an expensive option to replace)3. Piggybacked movement for the AP ROO (although it is still an inhouse movement)4. Non-inhouse movement for the AP ROC (although I understand it is a highly regarded F Piguet movement)5. Size of the two watches, I have a PAM and I feel an AP ROO wears smaller. 6. I h
Navy Themes
Now, I am a real fan of Rolex and my 116613 is perfect for me. I wear it everywhere, daily. Thing is, I've not really been much into AP and I am a total novice on the brand. I have seen a watch, an absolutely gorgeous thing, and I believe it's called Navy Themes. They seem to be discounted to about ��13k in the UK. So, are their any available wrist shots, advice generally and thoughts on UK prices? I have seen one in the flesh at Selfridges in Manchester. I like larger watches and it seemed substantial. A Daytona, for example, does not suit my wrist and looks too small.Thanks.
Colt 44

Would like to hear your thoughts about this one ...
Patek 5235Regulator annual calendarFirst time I saw it I didn't know what to think. Nice, very well made.refreshing, original, new,...interestingbut would I buy a regulator ?Now, months later I'm faling in love Still a lot of money for a strange looking watch but on the other hand, being a Patek they could ask A LOT MORE. The price is barely more than their other annual calendars which this 5235 is so different So, what do you think about this ?It is the first Patek Philippe wristwatch with a regulator dial, characterized by a sweep minute hand, a subsidiary hour dial at 12 o'clock and a seconds subdial at 6 o'clock. The heart of the watch is the new caliber 31-260 REG QA, the first ultra-thin self-winding Patek Philippe movement with a mini-rotor that displays the subsidiary seconds at 6 o'clock. It is also the very first totally new basic movement designed to accommodate Silinvar? components: The escape wheel and the lever of the Pulsomax? escapement as well as the Spiromax? balance
Exit watch (Panerai)
372 for me and that's all I need. yes 372 is that good of a Panerai. I literally stop buying Panerai since I got my 372. I sold off my 000, 312, 328, 305, 88 and 561.Best regards, James
