You're Invited: A Special Preview Of 'The Luxury Of Time: European Clocks And Watches' E
It gives us great pleasure to say that we are able to offer, courtesy of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a limited number of invitations to an upcoming exhibition showcasing some of the most unusual, valuable, and remarkably beautiful timepieces ever made. "The Luxury of Time: European Clocks and Watches" preview will be held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art this Thursday, November 19th at 6:30 p.m. There will be a host of amazing, very rare and extremely historically important clocks and watches on hand, and the exhibition is being co-curated by the Met's Mrs. Clare Vincent, a 40-year veteran of the Met, and Associate Research Curator Ms. Elizabeth Sullivan.These are just a few examples of the treasures from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection. Above is a stunning clockwork celestial globe, made in Vienna in around 1579; like many of the clocks and watches in the exhibition this was a gift from J. Pierpont Morgan (in this case the gift was given in 1917).

Hi all,Managed to find this forum when researching on AP. Am quite convinced to join the world of AP now. I'm just torn between the above two models now. Wanted to seek some views and opinions on which would you prefer and why. Thanks in advance!

DD40 PT motif dial
I have an opportunity to trade my WG Sub and BLRO for a BNIB D40 PT with glacier blue motif diagonal dial.I would need to add $4K.I am not sure if the numbers are exactly in line in terms of what I am paying but I received 27% of MSRP when I originally purchased the WG Sub and BLRO new. Don't know what to do!
