Looking Time in the Eye: Two New HYT Skull Watches
Skulls are a popular motif in luxury watches lately �� check out our list of some of the most notable ones �� and now HYT, one of the most unconventional watchmakers out there, gets in on the act in its own unique “hydromechanical horology” style with the release of the HYT Skull, available in two colorful versions.To create the new HYT Skull Green Eye and Red Eye models, HYT CEO Vincent Perriard gave his watchmakers a simple but challenging goal: make a timepiece that has a totally original look but still maintains the HYT watch brand’s signature style. “Simply taking an existing movement, giving it a vague skull shape and presenting it as an entirely new piece is not really our style,” Perriard says.?The watches, like previous HYT models, use a colored fluid �� flowing through a thin capillary and controlled by the expansion and contraction of two vertical bellows in the movement �� to keep track of the hours with the aid of a numbered scale around the dial.

Hi all First AP, a 15400 black dial. It will replace my SubC as my ss watch. After my purchase of a gold GMT II last year, I felt I needed more visual variety. I have a somewhat random question though, hopefully you all can provide some insight.... AP haphazardly wraps their new watches in what appears to be cheap clear plastic and blue plastic (same as what is used on electronics). Rolex as most of you know uses precision cut pieces applied at strategic locations. Any idea why the cheap look of the AP wrapping? Considering that AP is considered a more luxurious brand?

15202 engravings
Good Morning everyone,Has AP stopped engraving the caseback number on this watch?I have seen a couple of examples up for sale that look legit both j one with a number engraved in the back and the other with just the Royal Oak writing.Do you guys know why?Thanks

Thinking about a 15202
The more I look at it the more I am mesmerized by it. I think it would make a good companion to the 5712 and the chronometre bleu. But I'd probably have to part with one or two of my watches to make room so question is which would you part with? These are the watches in my collection that I wear the least (though I wear the ROC more than the other two) but the ROC was my first nice watch. Also would you think having a Jumbo and a ROC would be too repetitive? Option A: Sell SubC Date + IWC Portuguese 75th anniversary LE in steel for 15202stOption B: Sell AP ROC Panda 26300st and get 15202st

Can I order a fluted bezel from Rolex? For a DJ41
Thank you in advance.
