F. P. Journe Chronom��tre Bleu
F. P. Journe announces the Chronom��tre Bleu. The 39mm case is carved from tantalum, a dark gray metal with blue overtones. Tantalum is rarely used in watchmaking because its density and high melting temperature make it difficult to manipulate. Through the display back, the balance and escapement appear mysteriously detached from the movement, beating with no apparent motive force. Journe has placed the connecting train under the dial, leaving only the center wheel to highlight the isolation of the balance. The manually wound movement oscillates at 21,600v/h. Twin barrels work in parallel to deliver stable power for much of its 56-hour autonomy. The F.P.Journe free-sprung chronometer balance with inertia adjustment on four opposing weights is dynamically adjusted to six positions, with an emphasis on constancy of rate.The Chronom��tre Bleu is available now at all F.P.Journe Boutiques in New York, Beijing, Paris, Tokyo, Geneva, Hong Kong and Boca Raton, as well as throughout all authorize

Does anyone have both AP 15400st and PP 5711?
Might be being a bit controversial here. I have just started wearing my 15400, I went to a watch retailer yesterday (took my friend's son to buy a watch). I started to talk to the manager who let me try on his 5711 white dial, I was a bit underwhelmed tbh and was disappointed that I had that feeling. It feels quite delicate and dare I say even feminine when compared to the 15400.Still at the end of the day I still added my name for the blue dial and the bracelet aquanaut.

USA Duty Import Question - 1st AP
I've got the cross listed in the Patek forum as I'm working on a Patek purchase as well...I've been working with an AD in the EU on purchasing my first AP and am trying to figure out what the duty would be when sending to the US where I reside. I've read conflicting percentages on different threads in this forum and want to be sure because the difference could be in the thousands.I've used the duty import calculator online that Pitney Bowes has and have come up with two different numbers between the AD and I. The calculator is confusing if you're unfamiliar. His number is quite different from mine and it almost makes the purchase not worth it, however, the number I used makes it worthwhile with the FX and VAT back. Does anyone have any experience in shipping a watch to the US? Any advice is appreciated.
