A. Lange & Sohne 1815 Up/Down Watch Hands-On
If there was such a thing as a "pedestrian watch" at A. Lange & Sohne then it would surely be one of their "more basic" watches priced under $50,000 like this 1815 Up/Down. Anything over that simply could not be considered "ordinary." There of course is jest in my words as A. Lange & Sonhe is among the most exclusive high-end brands in the world that given their volume (about 5,000 or less watches a year) produce the nicest movements around. Turn over one of their watches - ideally a chronograph, and you'll see what the fuss is all about.In the same year A. Lange & Sohne released a new version of their 1815 power reserve watch, they released the most complicated version of the 1815 yet with the 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar watch. The 1815 collection is among my favorites, especially since Lange has been increasing their size to meet up with Western demand. The simple dial with its proper sized hands and Arabic numerals offer a precise, calm sense of legibility. This

AP RO 15300 - Polished or is AP quality not so great?
Hello all,I have had my AP RO 15300ST for about 3 weeks now. Amazing watch!But there's one thing, and it's a big but, that grinds my gears.All 4 corners chamfers are extremely wide and does not match the bracelet at all. Far from matching. And there's very little material above the screw hole if you compare to below.It's an F serie from 2009.Here's pictures of my watch:This problem was found by another dear forum member over at a Swedish watch forum and he posted pictures of his old 15300 as reference (I hope he don't hate me for stealing his pictures):A random reference pictureAnother forum members' polished 15300. You can see that it's creeping a little bit wide, but not nearly close to as bad as mine.Another forum members' 15202With these pictures it looks like mine has been extremely polished.But I made a google search on 15300's and found these examples:And also this 15400 that's according to the dealer, unworn.Although he mistakes his 15400 for a 15300 and somehow gets it to a ju

New to AP's, a quick question!
I was looking on ebay and found a few day-date royal oaks with a moonphase complication, which were all from the 90's and older. Do they not make these anymore? Looking on the official website,I couldn't find any moonphase royal oaks: (other than the perpetual calender, and equation of time, which happen to be just slightly out of my $$ range )Thanks in advance.

I'm back!
Not that I ever left but last year I sold my only Omega, a 2255.80 electric blue SMP300. I regretted it almost immediately - I don't really recall why I felt the compulsion to sell it. It was one of my first nice watches and a real tool watch. Recently I'd been thinking of getting another Omega and the new blue ceramic SMP was very interesting. After seeing one, I decided it was too much like my Rolex 116619LB and I really just wanted my old watch back. So I made an offer to the buyer and I got it back!! It hasn't been touched and is still operating at 1s/d. Great to have her back on my wrist!

Can we get some Yachtmaster 116622 pics!
I feel like this is a very underrated watch that deserves attention.It's crossed my mind to get one over the years, maybe TRF can help.
