De GRISOGONO Otturatore Watch Is Four-Faced
After some years of development De GRISOGONO released a fantastic new caliber in a polarizing new timepiece with a name I can barely pronounce. Try saying "Otturatore" a few times really fast. I am sure that means something sexually satisfying in Italian, but this is a Swiss brand through and through. De GRISOGONO is a rare band in the US, but one that has a lot of cool and complex pieces. While a lot of brands like to call themselves "avant garde, " I have to say that De GRISOGONO actually is.What makes me sad is how expensive this watch is. It is about 69,100 - 71,100 Swiss Francs depending on the style. It doesn't need to be that expensive, even though the brand did put a lot of work in to the movement development. Offer a steel-cased version for $20,000 and then at least you have my attention more. Much of that 85,000 Swiss Franc amount is going to be justified in the chunky 18k rose or white gold case - that surely uses a lot of metal. The quizzical case is about 45mm wide and abo

AP ROO Navy 26470
Hi all,First thread in the AP Forum. Quick intro. All my watches have been Rolex (+ some pre-WIS purchases unworthy of mention), but about a year ago I started to get drawn into AP. The journey began with the fascination of the RO Jumbo, 15300, 15400, and recently the ROO Navy. Haven't seen a lot of mentions here like the Safari and Elephant. Is there love for Navy? Here's a shot of what I tried on last week (sorry crappy pic). I'd never thought a ROO could even be an option due to its 42mm size on my smallish wrist (~6.75) but I got bit hard. Just felt amazing on the wrist. The navy dial is simply mesmerizing with the orange highlights and details. Wow. The rubber strap, I think, is what makes this ROO feels like a perfect fit on a smaller wrist (or any wrist) Very curious about your expert input or insights here about this reference. Thanks for looking

Has been quite a few of these lately...
But it's still a very special day for me! Moved a couple pieces and picked up my first pp which Davidsw shipped to me today. Have done a ton of research for the past year or so and was going back and forth between a few pieces from ap and pp. I decided the 5167 was the one for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is why I "roll" with plastics on!!!
Today is Christmas and it was my lucky day I had waited for over a week to wrap my exhaust with DEI Titanium Exhaust Wrap. Its a pretty hard job, especially doing it under the seat, but I'm happy with my first attempt.It took me about 2-3 hours to do the job.So I was pretty proud of my workmanship and I thought I'd go down to the lake and take a few photos.The photos went well as shown below.........Wrap-Rolex3-25-12-17.jpgWrap-Rolex2-25-12-17.jpgWrap-Rolex1-25-12-17.jpg However...........after I took the photos I forgot to put my watch back on my wrist and rode my bike home (2 miles) with the watch still sitting on my bike's ankle guard....I honestly forgot all about my DateJust41 and I was riding at up to 50 mph and riding around corners...It wasn't until I got home and took another look at my handiwork on the exhaust wrap that I noticed my watch still sitting on my bike Luckily my DJ41 had the plastics still on and now I'm feeling great, instead of going crazy, wondering how I co
