Obsessive Attention To Unseen Detail, And Why I love Luxury Watch Decoration: Audemars Piguet Openworking Video
I like to share with people that luxury mechanical watch movements are so meticulously decorated. Most of what is spent weeks or months working on will never be viewable to anyone save for other watch makers. It is true, the highest-end watch movements have each piece decorated by hand (hundreds of pieces), most of which are hidden inside of the movement. Does this help in the function of the watch? Typically is doesn't, but it is often a matter of pride and tradition - something watches are all about. Audemars Piguet has been on a roll creating "educational" marketing videos about how they make watches and the assembly and decoration thereof. A lot of these can be found features at TheTimeTVwatches-dealer. Here is one particular video that displays a lot of impressive handiwork. It is all about "the art of openworking," or otherwise the creation of decorated skeletonized movements. This video details a little bit about the decoration of the Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars Equation o

15300 vs 15450 - both OR
my recent obsession is either of these in OR, on strap, black dial.they are 2mm apart in diameter, but i do like the same-color date wheel on the 450.any owners of either (or both!) so that i can see comparison?would like to see how small the 37mm of the 450 wears relative to the 39mm of the 300.i like the size of my jumbo...so my head tells me the 300 would be preferred (aside from my preference of the same-color date wheel of the 450).however, i have a 36mm day-date in YG on bracelet...and that does feel nice, doesn't feel too small at all.

Ebay seller's definition of "mint".. LMAO
Ebay seller WorldAgency claims this 2254.50 is in mint original condition. One more ebay seller to avoid.. :rofl2:

Other watches need variety too!
The Daysjust and Day-Date have a ginormous variety of versions, which includes: different sizes, many different dial colours, and a vast number of other options. Overall, there are dozens upon dozens of different Datejust and Day-Date models.This begs the question: why are other Rolex models, many of which are arguably even more iconic than the Datejust and Day-Date (such as the Submariner), not given this same type of treatment? I think it would be wonderful if, for example, the Submariner could be had in 38mm and with a multitude of different dial and bezel options. Does anyone know why this disparity exists between two Rolex models and the rest of them? Let's discuss
