Entourage's Jeremy Piven Gets Gifted Character's Audemars Piguet Watch
Now this is a nice little story that will warm that hearts of all watch lovers. For years Audemars Piguet (among other high-end watch brands) have been featured in the HBO series Entourage. Co-star Jeremy Piven's character Ari Gold wore at least a few Audemars Piguet watches.Most recently we was wearing a solid 18k rose gold Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph (ref. 25960OR.OO.1185OR.01). I believe this is the piece shown in the article. I actually haven't been able to catch all of Entourage's final season 8 get get the full story on Gold getting the watch. OK, that is all nice and good, but such Hollywood watch placements are common. The fun news is that the show's creator Doug Ellin gifted Piven the watch to keep as a token of his gratitude for Piven's role in the series.It just goes to show how a watch still makes an excellent and sentimental gift. The rose gold Royal Oak Chronograph retails for about $50,000 I believe. Enjoy the last season of the show and look out for nice watch

Sapphire case back = blasphemy?
Is it possible to install a clear case back on an ap that doesn't come with one from the factory? I'd like to see the movement, love the finishing. Clearly I would keep the original back just in case. Or.... Would I be crucified before I could get it installed?

Patek aligator strap
I got a new strap from my local Patek hq today.Very stiff still and priced to sell!Problem i discovered later was the print 'geneve' underside is very faint, almost missing, on a brand new strap no doubt.I sent them a pic via email indicating this immediately upon discovering this flaw. Yes i should have checked before i paid but i let that slipped.The hq sales personnel replied and said 'i know the print is faint but the strap is brand new'The strap is not cheap. Who else can i escalate this to?
