Hands-On: The Audemars Piguet Millenary Openworked, A Spectacular Design Counterpoint To The Royal O
Undoubtedly one of the most technically innovative watchmakers of the 20th century, Audemars Piguet is also one of its major creative forces. With the Royal Oak, they did with watches what Apple and Nike were able to do with computers and sneakers – that is, to subtly alter the usual lines of a standard product, and turn it into an icon. 1 OF 9 In fact, Audemars Piguet has been able to create not one, but two of the most recognizable timepieces of the modern era – the Royal Oak and the Millenary. The Royal Oak's design is widely lauded as a stroke of genius today, but at its launch many found it either disturbing or implausible or both. The Millenary, on the other hand, is just as instantly recognizable, but has had to follow an even longer road to acceptance and appreciation. We feel it definitely has the potential to rise to the status of a design icon for AP; after all, it's as visually distinctive as the Royal Oak. It is true, though, that the two

How beautiful this is!

Favorite LE Speedy?
I was thinking about buying my first Omega. Due to it's cool history, I gravitated (no pun intended ) toward the moon watch. Then I leaned toward maybe a LE one for Apollo 11, since after all that was the mission that the first watch was worn on the moon. The 45th anniversary is not for me, but I do like the 40th and 35th anniversary models. So I thought I would pose the question....what is your favorite LE Speedy?I normally like to have a date function, but to stay true to the classic design, I figured I could move the chrono second hand to correlate with the date each day? Does anyone else do that?Thanks!

Does this looks big on me?
I'm planning to get nautilus 5711 in the near future. I would like to have your suggestion whether it fits my 6 inches wrist.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1342409313.596501.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1342409336.890793.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1342409357.240017.jpg

Datejust 41 TT or GMT 2 TT for next watch
I am torn between the new two tone Datejust 41 (yellow gold steel, champagne face, fluted bezel, jubilee) and the new GMT 2 ceramic yellow gold steel two tone. On workdays, I usually wear a quartz Tag Heuer Formula 1 with black face on steel bracelet as my beater, and I already have a non-ceramic date steel Sub. I am concerned the GMT 2 may be too repetitive in appearance to my Tag and my Sub. On the flip side, I worry the Datejust would be too flashy for casual wear.Any advice? The new Rolex would be worn mainly on weekends for nice events, meetings and dinners, etc, ranging from country club casual (polo shirt, chinos, no jeans) to suit and tie. I’m in my late 40’s.Thanks in advance for your input!
