Introducing: The Royal Oak Concept Supersonnerie, A Groundbreaking Minute Repeater From Audemars Pig
Audemars Piguet is famous – rightly famous – for many things; among them the Royal Oak's instantly recognizable eight-sided bezel and distinctive overall case architecture. What's less well known in the general watch enthusiast community, however, is that there is quite a lot more to the history of Audemars Piguet than the Royal Oak itself. In fact, for much of its history, one of the most distinctive elements of Audemars Piguet's identity was its expertise as a complications maker. It's a revelatory experience, if you can get there, to visit the Audemars Piguet museum, as HODINKEE did not long ago, and actually see and hear some of its historical production of minute repeaters. With the Royal Oak Concept Supersonnerie, Audemars Piguet's put together a genuinely fascinating fusion of some of its newest visions of watch design, and some of its most historically – well, resonant – areas of technical mastery. 1 OF 7 The Audemars Pigu

Questions about my '60s Constellation
I have owned this '60s Constellation for several years, but up until I took my Sea Dweller in for service, it didn't get much (any?) wrist time. Too bad... after wearing it for a few weeks I really, really like it (although it is pretty 'dainty' as compared to the SD).What I know about the watch isn't much... this is pretty much it:Stainless case does not appear to have ever been polished, the angles and 'edges' are nice and crisp.The Omega script, the omega symbol, and the little star are all applied on the dial.The crystal is new... I had Kevin at TimeTech (in Dallas) completely service the watch when I got it)... it has a little omega symbol in the center of the crystal.There's a lot that I don't know, including... How can I tell if the dial has been refinished?Does it have the correct crown?What movement would be in this watch?I would be most grateful for any 'answers, that anyone could provide!All the best,RobPS: This thing keeps excellent time!!

Would you buy a 5970p without papers?
I checked that watch is not stolen but papers were misplaced by original owner.I know I can get archive papers next year (after 5 years) but would you buy one without papers - assuming there is a $10-$15k discount on the price (from what a normal complete PP 5970p would cost).watch is still in original seal from Patek....thanks in advance!

Heartbreak with SD43
So after waiting 6 months to get my hands on my first new Rolex (normally a vintage Sub guy) it finally arrived, a brand spanking new SD43. After trying every micro adjustment and combination of number of link etc, I have come to the decision that it's just not comfortable for me. It is a seriously beautiful watch, but for my 7 inch wrist it just seems too heavy and not ideal for the daily watch that I was hoping for. I guess its back to Vintage for me. Sometimes you gotta know when to fold em.
