Pre-SIHH 2014: Introducing The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept GMT Tourbillon
It's getting to be that time of year again - SIHH is just around the corner. That means you're about to see a veritable bevy of the new hotness hit on the 'Dinkee.? We'll start with a new one from Audemars Piguet - the new Royal Oak Concept GMT with a dose of remarkable white ceramic.? And that's not just on the case, either.? 2 OF 2 The Royal Oak Concept line is something of a skunk-works line within Audemars Piguet, pushing design and materials further than you'll see in traditional products.? Launched in 2008, the Concept has taken on a life of its own within the collecting world, and this latest addition will certainly get a few hard-core AP guys' juices flowing.?

Historical Perspectives: A Look At What Hermes Means To Watch Lovers & Why The Apple Watch Herme
Two months ago, Apple followed up the announcement of the Apple Watch with a special edition model in partnership with no less than Hermès. Hermès is, of course, the still-to-this-day family run hyper-luxury lifestyle brand by which all others are measured. It is quite simply one of the great brand stories of the 20th century and beyond, and a rare success story of those who never cut corners being rewarded by the consumer. Further, Hermès is actually an important brand to a watch collector – having partnered with several great Swiss manufactures over the years as a distributor, retailer, co-designer, and more. Even more, several Hermès items, though technically unrelated to horology, have become part of the watch collecting dialog. Today, we'll explore some of the more important contributions of Hermès to horology, and examine where the Apple Watch Hermès fits in, if at all. 1 OF 23 Hermes As A Retailer And Value Driver

Any steel 3700 aficionado's? Need some quick advice please!
Can anyone tell me if all things are equal (condition, b&p, etc) between a steel 3700/1 and a steel 3700/11, is there a difference in valuation and if so to what degree? 10%, 20% etc? Some dealers have told me no real difference in value as the only difference between the references is the clasp is 2mm narrower on the 3700/11. I understand the many factors that go into valuation but really trying to get a handle on the market for the two versions of the first steel 3700s. Any help is greatly appreciated!Thanks,Mike.
