Audemars Piguet VS. Hublot: The Turf Wars Continue In America
The turf wars are getting serious. This time I look at the battle on US soil between Swiss brands Audemars Piguet and Hublot. The heat between them has been on for a few years now. Behind the scenes the fight goes on all the time - with each trying to one up each other. It isn't a battle they publicly acknowledge, but the drama is interesting. Winner, loser?

Benefits New vs Used?
Im curious of thoughts and opinions on New vs Used for a Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch/Sapphire Sandwich.I have been looking for a while and i havent been able to readily find a used Sapphire Sandwich 3573.50 and the more recent 311.30.42.30.01.006 .I really enjoy the large box with all the accessories the new watch comes with, and would love to find this set in gently used condition. But New vs Used there is a good price difference. Is this just an opinion based answer? Thanks for the thoughts in advance.
