Boegli Grand Opera Limited Edition Watch
Minute repeater watches sound the time back to you in a little song. Music box watches just play little songs. Each of these watches are nice in their own regard, but if you want to get a?musically?capable watch that is somewhat budget friendly (relatively speaking) then, a music box watch is the way to go. Music box watches are also comparatively much more rare, making the availability of a minute repeater seem much more easily obtainable by comparison.Swiss-based Boegli specializes in "musical watches". Each of the wrist and pocket watches that they produce contain traditional drum and pin music players. This new Grand Opera watch is their first ever round wrist watch. Their previous watches were only available in squarish rectangular cases. In addition to the new shape (which looks a lot more wearable than the angular models), the Grand Opera has a handy feature which allows you to start and stop the music playing (at will) by using a pusher. Presumably, past models just let the spr

Royal oak offshores folding deployment clasp
Gents, curious as to the durability of these blades and this clasp. Are they easily bent? Seem to be rather thin, but made of a strong steel. When I'm snapping the watch on I️ worry that I'm bending them.Thanks!

AP watch straps
Hi, I just recently purchased a pre-owned ROO (well girlfriend kinda ended up biting the bullet as a present)[img]imgur/mrG0J33[img]and I find that the strap is WAY too short for me (I am a very big guy), anyone know where I can get either a rubber strap or a new horned back for it?I would also need a longer sized one, any recommendations from vendors that you have dealt with would be lovely!Thanks :)

Aquanaut....all dressed up!
Good morning all here at TRF! Since buying my Aquanaut 5167 about a year ago, it has been on my wrist almost every day. As much as I love the piece, every so often I just need a change. So, recently I had the opportunity to purchase the stainless steel band that accompanies the Aquanaut. I have always enjoyed the look and, most of all, comfort that the Patek tropical strap provides. My one issue was that I wear a suit & tie almost every day and the rubber look just made the Aquanaut feel a little out of place with the rest of the wardrobe. So I thought, why not try it with the SS bracelet!So, here it is! I must say I absolutely love it! It changes the look from casual to a little more elegant while still keeping to its sporty nature, but now very well suited to be worn with anything from jeans and a t-shirt to a suit and tie. I tip my hat to Patek on the construction of the bracelet. Normally bracelets can pull those little hairs on your wrist and make some noise as the l

16520 prices
In the past month or two I've noticed that the prices for Zenith Daytonas seem to be on the rise. Whereas one could be had for around $8-9.5k a couple months ago, it now seems these are trading hands for $10-11k+. Has anyone else noticed this trend? I'm guessing this is a direct result of the discontinuation of 116520.
