New AP...what do you think?
New to the thread. Longtime AP lover. I just picked this up on Thursday, it is technically my 2nd AP. I bought the 44mm stainless the day it came out and loved it as my daily beater for 2 years until 6 months ago I decided to sell to clear up some cash to finish my new house. Right after I purchased mine I bought my wife the new ladies royal oak with diamond bezel(I did not sell hers lol) needles to say I finally got to buy what I consider to be my favorite current AP 44mm. I love the silver dial and contrasting sundials and bezel. Also I noticed a huge difference is the brushing definition on the ceramic bezel. So much deeper then in 2012.

I love this watch.To be honest, I pretty much have to force myself to wear anything else! It's light, super comfortable, the accuracy is exactly as it should be and it has lots of useful features. Love it.

The Snoopy LE has (finally) landed ...
This afternoon I was the first lucky customer at the Royal Exchange boutique in London to pick up a Snoopy Speedmaster. Sincerely happy to have had the conviction to commit when the order books opened up earlier in the year. Superb service which has so often become the norm. We were all equally excited to open up the matt black presentation box.Excited is truly an understatement.

Thinking of taking the Panerai plunge!
I am very much a Rolex addict with a sideline in Omega's. Panerai had never really entered into my consciousness except as a brand that Rolex supplied movements to many years ago.Now all that has changed. Looking around my AD the other evening I stumbled into the Panerai display case and was immediately smitten by a black Luminor Marina 8 day model. But it looked so big on my 6.5 wrist I just wasn't sure. The salesman of course said it looked fantastic Anyway, I thought I should do some research before deciding whether or not to buy one of these intriguing watches. It doesn't help one's research when the watch world is divided between lovers and haters of the brand with no one taking a neutral position. Something about this brand polarises opinion. My research has led me to favouring 2 Luminor models - the base and the Luminor Base 8 days. I feel I now prefer the clean dial look of these over the Marina with its seconds hand at 9. I think I'm going to go for the 8 day model - I like t
