Gerald Genta Arena Metasonic Sonnerie Watch - $900,000
Whoa there Gerald Genta (and I speak to the company, not the man - as he isn't part of the brand any more). What is going on here? Where did this come from?

I suppose Gerald Genta is also known for that. Did you know that H.R. Giger is also Swiss?Anyhow, the watch is meant to be the most complex Grande Sonnerie watch in the world. This is not to be confused with the most complex watch in the world - the

Advice Needed : AP ROO Scuba Orange?

Hey all, i recently purchased a 2003 Speedie Pro which arrived yesterday, however to my dismay the condition was not as described bhy the seller (came covered in scratches, looked to be a daily beater on a building site. I contacted the seller and will be getting a full refund so whilst licking my wounds yesterday i began searching for a replacement and have been offered the following:Old:Year: 1976 (birth year)Model: 145.022Cal: 861Bracelet: 1171Condition: A1, just been serviced and is in perfect conditionAdditions: boxed but no papersNew:Year: 2007Model: 3570.50Cal: 1861Bracelet: 1998Condition: Excellent, some marks on claspAdditions: boxed with papersGiven the choice, which would other members go for? Both are priced roughly the same, is the fact the older one is a birth year makes it too hard to resist or should i place safe and go for the recent example with added papers?Any input is greatly appreciated.

Omega Price increase
Just spoke to my AD and Omega, Breitling are going up 01/02/09.Some are going up by around 8.5% and others by around 11% but he said the average across the board is 10%He also said he wouldn't be able to do anything price wise regarding a discount once the increase kicks in which is a blow. Especially as he has a watch I want at the moment and would only give me 10% which wasn't good enough. It will have to wait.Anybody getting more than 10% from their AD's?Si
