Finalists For The 2014 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Geneve Announced, Public Vote Now Open (Where You Can Win A Girard-Perregaux!)
It's that time of year! Yup, the finalists of the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Geneve (GPHG) have been announced. For those who don't remember, the GPHG is the watch industry's equivalent of the Academy Awards, wherein a group of distinguished judges comprised of collectors (think John Goldberger and John Mayer), retailers (think Laurent Picciotto), watchmakers (think Philippe Dufour) and journalists (think our own Ben Clymer) decide on who has done the most to advance watchmaking this year. Today, the finalists for each category have been announced. The winners will be announced on Friday, October 31st, 2014, in Geneva. The entire ceremony will be streamed live right here on HODINKEE.Click here to see the finalists for the 2014 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Geneve (GPHG). BONUS: The public prize, decided by YOU, is also now open for voting, and once you register, you can win a Girard-Perregaux worth over $10,000 right here.

Brilliance in retrospect...
Borrowed image...Just saw this on Instagram had to share it...I think the grey strap amalgamates with the rose goldaesthetics flawlessly...for many of us here it's gonna be a longtedious wait until AP comes out with a regular production RG bezel for the 44mm...

Roo fc
The AP ROO Chronograph forged carbon is my absolute favourite and is a holy grail piece for me personally. The day I am able to purchase one will be a real I made it moment. In the meantime I would love to hear you guys' experience in owning one and if it was everything you thought it would live up to? Would love to see some detailed picture too if you have any! Many thanks, Jack

Dealer Cost
Hi folks! It is no secret on TRF that dealer cost for a Rolex is 62% of the MSRP. However, can someone please tell me what is dealer cost for an Omega? I searched, and could not find updated information. A Google search revealed that some years back it was 55% of the MSRP. However, I am not certain if this is accurate. I would really appreciate updated and accurate information. Thank you.

GMT Master
Guys,I am pretty much sold on the pre ceramic GMT master pepsi bezel. The problem is, I will probably need to part with my Explorer, I intentionally bought the Explorer to flip it to other models in the future but I really bonded with my Explorer, I wish I could afford both of them but I can't as a flying student I can barley afford one of them...I would like to ask you guys, for a fair deal, how much would you say I need to add for a pepsi GMT from around 2000's? I have the 114270 model...The thing that rrally made me want a GMT is this:https://youtu.be/jJNZbvRLAUU
