Finally back home after a 2.5 month hiatus
Just picked up my Jarno Trulli from local AD after a full spa treatment at APSC. Looks like new again! A shout out to Royal de Versailles in Toronto for their excellent customer care. The service took a little longer than expected for APSC to carry out the work but it was well worth the wait, for the pleasure of peeling the sticker off the bezel.

Omega...Or Not ???
Back around 1930, the Omega/Tissot watch company was formed (or merged to become) the SSIH Company. This company went on to include, amongst others, Lemania and Lanco.Omega was the working mans watch and Tissot and Lanco were sold in the up-scale luxury department stores such as Macy', etc.This marriage lasted until 1985 when SSIH merged with SMH (Longines/Rado), re-organized and became The Swatch Company.During the period 1930 to 1985, this Lanco was the upscale sister Chronograph to the Omega Chronographs of the day. Possibly the great success and popularity of the Speedmaster introduced in 1957 was the driver that caused Swatch to drop great names and watches such as this.This one is 45 years old, runs flawlessly, and resides in the Omega box with it's more famous brothers and sisters..

Great article in the June Watchtime on Omega Speedmasters.
Well worth reading.

Hi folks,My AD in Zurich has one on hold for me until April 10th. I wont be buying it as it is out of my league but they are happy to sometimes hold watches for me. Normally I ask them to do so for friends and they know I am not in the market myself for such fine pieces. The price is 256kChf before 8% vat refund.I thought I would give you all a heads up that there is one here in Switzerland.With current prices and exchange rates I wanted to share this opportunity.I am not selling it, have no financial benefits (or other benefits that I know of)I am not affiliated with any PP dealers in any wayIf anybody is interested I can forward your details. Fair warning: There is no guarantee of course that they will finally sell it to you, they do a vetting of new clients, asking about your collection/PP ownership etc, so I have no control over whether you will finally get it, but I could offer a chance to jump the lines.Regards,DP.S. Moderators: my intention is to share the opportunity, not reall
