Five Reasons to Buy Audemars Piguet
1. TraditionAudemars Piguet is the oldest surviving fine watch-manufacture still operating under the control of members of its founding families. Maintaining independence throughout its 137 year history has given them enormous control over creative direction and quality. Buy an Audemars Piguet because you want a share in their tradition of fine watchmaking, not because of their commercial value. 2. DesignAudemars & Piguet were brought together in 1875 by a shared passion for mastering complex watch mechanisms and creating innovative designs. These principles still characterize Audemars Piguet watches today. Last year saw the 40th anniversary of the iconic Royal Oak, which was designed by Gerald Genta in 1972 and retains its original features to this day. 3. In-House MovementsJules Audemars the watchmaker had a reputation for being able to master even the most complicated mechanisms. In his honour Audemars Piguet continue to create movements in-house.

Goodbye.... And hello!... Incoming
So i had a sad day week before last when I let go of my 15400. image.jpgBut then came a new arrival, which I haven't seen yet! Haha I'm in NY for work but my wife called and a Fedex package arrived this afternoon! It seems that there can only be one AP in my collection....

Picked up a Navitimer!
Well, after a few months of deliberation - I completely did the unexpected! A little back story here... For a while now, I've been looking at the Rolex Explorer II (42mm) and finally decided it was time to pick it up.I walked into my local AD, and had the Explorer II on my wrist ready to go. Something seemed off to me, it just wasn't sitting right on my wrist. So I waltzed over to the Breitling section, and tried on the Navitimer - and it just felt perfect to me. 24 Hours in, absolutely loving my purchase. This isn't to say I won't pick up a Rolex down the road - but there was something about this watch that I just had to have! What do you guys think?

PAM510 Dial?
Hi,So I dropped by a Panerai boutique and they let me try on a lot of the models and was overall very friendly. In particular the PAM00510 looked so good on my wrist I can't get it out of my head. The only thing that put me off was it had a cookie dial.But when I look it up online now, there are PAM510 with the sandwich dials? But the one on Panerai website looks like cookie dial to me as I saw at the boutique. What's going on here?
