Audemars Piguet Millenary MC12 Tourbillon Chronograph Watch Available On James List
I am always curious as to what the thought process is when admirable watch makers design watches after cars. They never seem to look too much like the cars they are modeled after. this might be a bit of an exception as at least the colors match. Do you think that cars are ever modeled after watches? Maybe. Well this is the Audemars Piguet Millenary MC12 Tourbillon Chronograph. Let me unravel that name for a moment. The "Millenary" title alludes to the stlye of the case and the "MC12" name refers to the Maserati super car that the watch is based on. The MC12 is basically a race car, not even really sure if it is street legal. The MC12 is Masterati's version of the Ferrari Enzo. Then you have the tourbillon complication and the 30 minute chronograph. Audemars Piguet also throws in a power reserve indicator for the Calibre 2884 manually wound movement.The open work style of the watch is a good intersection between modern and classic.

Obris Morgan Nevon Review
Back in the summer of 2012, we brought you our review of the Obris Morgan Branco PVD, an ultra-affordable mechanical watch that exceeds your expectations for value from a watch that costs just $249. Naturally, when we saw Obris Morgan's next release, the Nevon, we knew we had to get our hands on one. Suiting a 60s/70s dive inspired aesthetic with a modern edge, the Nevon, like the Branco, combines quality components and solid build with a surprisingly low price of between $249 and $269.

Roo 26470 ss
About to pull the trigger on my very first AP (42mm ROO Slate Gray/ gray themes). The only hindrance that is letting me think twice are the ff:1) that the SS Bezel is a scratch magnet (what's your take?)2) issues regarding the movement (either too fast or too slow)*live in Manila, Philippines and to service an AP here takes around 2-3months turnaround since they will still take it to AP Singapore. Any feedback/ advice would be of great help!Thanks much guys! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This one needs a service methinks... Can't fix that stretch/worn bracelet, but we'll see how the polishing turns out. At least it can't get any worse
