For your viewing Pleasure- 39mm VS 41mm Royal Oak Rose Gold Chronograph
Recently Acquired Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 39MM. This watch is truly beautiful and compares very closely to the 41mm. I also took some pictures of a Daytona so you can see the difference in size- very minimal if you ask me. Comfort wise I think my wrist better suits me with the 39mm. Too bad this one is going to my friend:( maybe I can convince him to take the 41mm

Breitling B01 Movement
What do you think of the new B01 in-house movement? Is it a step in the right the direction for the watch company.
