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.

Let's have some fun with our Speedmasters . . .
So, I was looking over my recently purchased Speedmaster Date and using the chronograph function. I was also testing to see that it comes up to exactly top-dead-center when I reset the chronograph. Sure enough, it resets perfectly.So, then I wanted to see exactly when the chronograph minute hand clicked over registering the minute count. After a couple of tests, I found that that if I stopped the second hand at 59 1/4 second, it appeared the minute counter hand was just starting to move. The minute counter hand would complete its click-over somewhere between 59 1/2 and 59 3/4 seconds (each second has 1/4 second marks). This seems fine to me, but I was wondering if other Speedmasters (I understand that the movement in the Pro is different from the Date) had click-over at different points. Besides, this will give you an excuse to play with your Speedy.

Rolex YM with Everose gold case and Oysterflex strap (so far my favorite higher end rolex that I have been able to see and try on in person) and the only 'gold' color rolex I would ever consider (among everose or yellow gold watches).3. PP Nautilus 5726 with a black leather strap -- my holy grail watch4. AP 39mm Jumbo Royal Oak with dark blue dial and titanium/platinum case (limited to 250 pieces-- and my 'holy grail' 1b to the PP). If I can't get this, then the SS 39 mm Jumbo with blue dial.Now, regarding the Rolexes, this is what I've been told regarding value retention between the two I'm looking at: -The AD told me that while the white gold Daytona is currently selling very well among grey market dealers (i.e. littl
