Panerai Radiomir Tourbillon GMT Ceramica 48mm Lo Scientziato Watch
Easily my favorite new Panerai of SIHH 2010 is an unexpected model. The brand that made it a point to "hide" the tourbillon complication on their first tourbillon watch has now made an about face. This is the first skeletonized Panerai watch that I know of, and does not let down. It is actually the same movement from their normal tourbillon watch but skeletonized. This is in contrast to what some makers do by making a watch movement specially designed to be skeletonized. Good that the watch movement leneded itself nicel to the "open" treatment. The watch is really stunning and exactly what you would expect from a Panerai watch if it was skeletonized.? Called the Radiomir Tourbillon GMT Ceramica 48mm Lo Scientziato PAM348 (PAM 348), this piece is truly unique in the brand's current watch line. Most of the other new models of 2010 are minor variations on existing models to differ broaden an established brand feel, but retain its strict identity.The 48mm wide case is in a dark brownsih co

Omega Wants You! Pays George Clooney To Look Goofy For The Cause
What times we live in. Who would have ever thought to see a celebrity endorse a watch company's recruiting efforts. Sure we are all used to celebrities modeling watches, even attending watch public relations events. I even wrote about watch companies like Audemars Piguet making watches for US presidents, who then plug the brand (for charity).Well new ground has been broken, and I would pay good money to learn the buttering up process involved in getting George Clooney to adorn a watch maker's monocle (called a loupe) and lab coat for this photo shoot. Good thing Clooney looks perplexed in this shot, because while I am sure he owns a few Omega watches, he has never had any experience making them or working on them. Imagine the cajoling required to get him to wear this outfit. "Great shots of the De Ville Mr. Clooney, now put this on your face like soand wear this coat. Lets try it again. Aren't WE looking technical Mr. Clooney?"The who purpose of this advertisement is to get people exci

Just picked up my 15710 from service
A few months ago I went to set the time and the crown came right out! I was sad but the watch has been very good to me in the last two plus years. I had APNA change my strap and the stitching in the strap from black to white. They also did a light polish. I had them hold the watch for 6 weeks until I was in NY where they shipped it to the NY boutique and I pick Ken it up. I missed her quite a bit. Also Selin at the AP NY boutique was very helpful as was thenClearwater team. Selin also sourced one of the new ceramic bezeled 42mm's for me to see. They won't be available for sale until July. I did like it but not enough to get rid of my diver for one. And the rubber strap, we all agreed wasn't of the same quality as the diver strap. Definitely made differently. I'm not a big fan of the red or gray but that's an easy fix.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Question about the Royal Oak Dual Time Movement
I recently purchased new a Royal Oak Dual Time, absolutely love the watch. From what I have read, the movent is not an In House movement, but rather based on a JLC movement. I am a bit of a novice when it come to what is going on inside my watches, so what exactly does that mean? Did JLC make the movement, ship it to AP for them to install it? Was it just borrowed technology, but AP makes it all in house?Was there any innovation in terms if the movement on APs part? Basically, I am asking what is the story with this movement. Really any help or information would be greatly appretiated. I believe the movement is Cal.2329/2846 , but honestly, I have no idea what that is.
