More incoming...
I can now say I am officially part of the AP club after having collected a number of Panerai's, Rolex and Cartier over the years.This is one of the first AP models I was visually drawn to with the exception of the RB2 which is very hard to find brand new and I am just too anal to buy a used watch as I cannot live with scratches or any wear at all.The package arrived at 10:30 am today on the dot and I quickly closed my office door and was tearing open the outside box like little kid on Xmas morning.My operations manager suddenly came into my office in the middle of me opening the box and was asking a question and I told her NOT NOW!!! and sent her out. Here is a teaser shot for now more to follow as I am taking crappy iPhone pics so please forgive me and I am slammed at work today.

PO.42.2500 vs Speedy Pro.
I'm thinking to flip my PO.42 and get a speedy pro.your advice is highly appreciated on that.thanks in advanceRami

In The Wild: Brand New 5712
Apologize for no photos, but I did not bring my camera.So we are at a Newcomers Club of La Jolla event, Western themed party.And we are seated randomly. So I noticed the guy next to me was rocking a 5712 (at first I thought it was a 5711). Well, I asked him about his Nautilus and he had just bought in a few days ago from our local PP dealer, and we began a 2 hour watch discussion, much to the consternation of both of our wives and the others at the table. Even though both our wives wore Rolexes, they are not really into watches.He showed me photos on his phone of his 15 watch collection, which included several Pateks, a Rolex DSSD, a GP, a minute repeater, an IWC, and so on. He specializes in complications.He uses a microscope to examine the finishing on his watch and has taken some stunning shots of the movements. He struck me as a loner and does not participate in forums.

14K repeaters
HelloI am a pocket watch enthusiast and i few quite a nice collection. Some for sale too.Anyway, i recently purchased this 14k quarter repeater and it was not cheap. My feeling of first glance said it was a Jules Jurgensen, but now i'm not so sure.Any help or guide to identify the manufacturer of this watch is highly appreciated !!The movement seem to be high grade with wolf teeth, and tried LeCoultre, Patek, Vacheron, Jules Jurgensen, Matile, Ed. Perregaux, Breguet, but no match. The curiosity is the twin bridge near the balance staff. The movement cover reads: Repetition a Quarts, a 5 digit serial no., and several medals. The dial does not say anything. Under the dial it is writen something like Swiss, Brevet, and a no. but nothing helpful to identify the watch as i already tried all the sources of my convenience: catalogues, internet, collectors, friends, etc.Pictures:img846.imageshack.us/img846/8797/img9041b.jpgimg442.imageshack.us/img442/2308/img9030e.jpgimg23.imageshack.us/img23/

Here I go again... I need to move to where no rolex is available
Ok figuring I have a sd4k and a 16610 that are cosmetically similar and already have a Kermit if I want a 5dig sub fix I decided to go back to one of my favourites that I parted with a while ago.So I traded my sub for a platinum Yachtmaster to mix it up a bit lol! Now I've truly got a mix of Rolex's to choose from Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
