Today is a good day for AP and F1....
Michael Scumacher has signed back on for the Scuderia Ferrari team for 2013 Formula 1 season. Having MS as an AP ambassador, and a fourth coming watch. I couldn't be happier!

Does anyone know what this vintage Omega is?
The watch in the image below appears on the Omega site, but no info is listed about it. I found this on the page where all the Omega NATO straps are listed. It's a beautiful field-style watch - googling Omega field watch really didn't show anything similar to it. Interested to hear if anyone knows what it is! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Consolidate for 1 ultimate Grail?
I was walking around today in HK and stopped by a grey seller shop here in HK that I use to frequent but hadn't been in for quite some time. BOOM...there it was in the glass window display. A Patek 5970j brand new. The owner told me he has another one that is 99% condition. Price seems to be very attractive and ~$30k below what I've seen advertised by sellers in the states. With the used one being $10k less than the new one. Question I am debating now is whether to trade in a bulk of my collection to obtain this monster! I would need to sell the following to make the numbers work:(1) Rolex WG skydweller(2) Rolex platinum day date 2(3) AP RG ROO 44mm novelty(4) AP 15202 jumboThis would leave me with:(1) Patek 59801r(2) Patek 5970j(3) Rolex DSSD(4) Rolex YG GMT2cWould you do it? Kind of fun thinking about it! Going to post in the Patek forum as well to get balanced views.I was walking around today in HK and stopped by a grey seller shop here in HK that I use to frequent but hadn't been i

Explorer II ceramic - the next generation.
The photo below is a current Explorer II which I found whilst browsing eBay today, but due to the lighting in this photo the bezel is darker and if you squint a little you can see exactly what a ceramic Explorer II would look like and I must admit that it would be an absolutely gorgeous watch.What are your thoughts on this? I personally think people would go crazy for this, waiting lists would be in line with the other ss sport models. Just what the explorer 2 needs to boost sales. The Daytona had a 100% steel bezel and went to ceramic, with an option of black or white for the dial. So it's not entirely unrealistic to expect the explorer to follow the same path, especially considering that it too has black and white dials. Interested to hear your thoughts. Richard
