Vacheron Constantin M��tiers d��Art Marc Chagall Paris Opera House Watch
Nice watch, but you can't buy it. No one can. Vacheron Constantin paid a lot of money to make this watch, and they are keeping it for themselves. I guess they enjoy it too much to part with it? Maybe. More likely, the special March Chagall ceiling watch will be on permanent exhibition, traveling around to show off VC's stuff. For the last few years, since 2007, Vacheron Constantin has held a partnership with the l'Opera de Paris (Paris Opera House), and is here making an additional claim on that relationship by reproducing the famous Marc Chagall ceiling from the opera house on a watch dial.I first wrote about this piece here where I was quickly able to decipher what Vacheron Constantin was up to. It was easy to tell that VC wanted to reproduce the ceiling on a watch dial in enamel. You have to realize that the 200-meter-wide ceiling needed to be hand replicated on a 31mm wide watch dial. The ceiling is quite the epitome of Chagall's style and was completed in 1964. It took Swiss ename

Came back to AP today
Fed up with what to me was a delicate scratch magnet I sold my 26320 10 months ago and consolidated my collection with 4 rolex. My wife is a big AP fan and I have always wanted a novelty however circumstances never allowed. I received a good trade offer a few weeks back and waited patiently whilst this went through the premature B1 water resistance test and got a BNIB GP strap fitted but today another grail hit my collection and I wanted to share with any potential buyers wondering how a 44mm watch fits on a 7 3/4 wrist.I'll be doing a short write up on my grails on the Rolex forum in the next few weeks but here is in my opinion the perfect AP ROO

Question for reserve power 2500
If a watch is new to you, but you know it's never been worn and was produced 3 years ago and has just sat in jeweller or factory, should that power reserve be on full 48 hours when wound fully, or does that watch need to be worn for a bit before that happens. I wound fully and barely got 24 hours, but it wasn't worn, only sat in box, and hasn't been worn properly yet, maybe for 20 minutes in that 24 hour period. Anyone know the ins and outs of this question and if you have to wear it for it to be full power reserve?

PCL's - If you're OCD, might not be the route to go.
Well, it's been one week to the day that I purchased both a TT Submariner along with a DateJust for my wife. My watch, the oyster bracelet. Hers, the jubilee. By comparison, hers looks amazing. Mine, meh. Don't get me wrong, it's still beautiful/gorgeous, etc. etc. But those PCL's pick up more scratches than a flea bitten dog on a lazy summer's day. I mean one could sneeze on this bracelet and it'll show a micro scratch marking. lol. I know I know, no big thing as they can all be polished to brand new upon servicing. Regardless, if you're one who is crazy OCD about scratches, might want to rethink PCL's. I know I was looking at getting a GMT Master II this week but the PCL's on that one are making me rethink the whole deal. Anyone else see this or am I just spending far too much time looking at the bracelet and then going, What the hell!? How'd it pick up a scratch just resting on the nightstand!????: Oh, and no worries here. I'm totally wearing it like nobody's business. I buy them to
