Triple Threat: Audemars Piguet’s Tradition Tourbillon Minute Repeater Chronograph
To many watch fans, Audemars Piguet is all about the Royal Oak, its iconic octagonal sports watch. However, the family-owned Swiss brand also wowed aficionados of haute horlogerie at this year’s SIHH with its incredibly complicated and extremely limited Tradition Tourbillon Minute Repeater Chronograph, inspired by a vintage timepiece from the 1920s. The watch’s cushion-shaped case takes its design cues from that of a vintage pocketwatch that currently resides in Audemars Piguet’s private museum, located in the brand’s longtime hometown of Le Brassus, Switzerland. Inside the case is a proprietary caliber that combines three major horological functions, a chronograph, tourbillon regulator, and minute repeater. According to Audemars Piguet, two editions of only 10 pieces each will be available: one in a titanium case with white-gold bezel (pictured) and the other in a rose-gold case with white-gold bezel. The rose-gold/white gold version has an anthracite dial

My 15400 is a gigant compared to my Day-Date Is bigger better? I love both. And for people who say the Royal Oak in steel is a scratch magnet, try wearing gold daily...

It was my destiny to own one...
Greetings TRF,I'll keep it short: ever since I bought, enjoyed and sold my SMP I must admit I had the feeling I would get another Omega in my collection someday! The watch I parted with, although I really liked it, wasn't quite meant for me anymore given the horological path I took with all those smaller and vintage watches and since I had other timepieces in mind when I sold it I cannot say it was something I didn't think about or that I really regret, however, the whole experience did make me like the brand even more since I now know that its watches, the vintage as well as the new ones, are as tough, reliable and overall amazing as they're beautiful!I must admit I kept an eye open for a model that I would be able to enjoy to the fullest but I cannot say I had the intention of adding anything to my collection since I purchased a few watches not so long ago. How did that happen? I can barely explain it myself but I can definitely get to this conclusion: it was my destiny to own one...

Why get enamel dial?
In considering 5116 vs 5119, I find myself wondering, why bother?Yes, I know enamel dials are labor intensive, explaining the added cost, but why should I care? I've read about finding 2526s with enamel dials that are cracked, while ones with pristine enamel dials are very valuable, but if they crack so easily, what's the fuss about, besides making vintage collector's happy when they find a well preserved one because they are rare?

Sadly I Just Cant Do Plexi......
It's true. I have had 2 372s and the most recent one I put a gash in it so deep Poly Watch just wont completely fix it. I have no idea how I did it either. My first 372 a few years ago I brushed up against a concrete wall and scraped the bejesus out of it. Poly Watch did fix that one but I turned around and sold it. I think the 372 is the perfect watch...............except for the plexi. I love the way it looks and I don't mind the swirls but gashes are unacceptable for me and my active life. So what am I to do? Well buy a 422 of course. Not entirely the same but it oozes awesomeness non the less. I should have it Tuesday and Ill post pictures when it comes in.
