Parmigiani 114 Watch Features Telescopic Hands In Homage To Antique Timepiece
I presume the above watch (update: called the Parmigiani Ovale I believe) will be officially released very soon (SIHH 2012 at the latest). It will actually be unveiled (not sure in its complete form) at a special "Mechanical Wonders" exhibition Parmigiani is involved in held in New York City from around October 26 - November 26 2011 (at the La Vieille Russie) . As you can see, the special novelty is a modern recreation of a complication that is over 200 years old - and the original solution to the short hands problem!I believe that I have actually seen the antique pocket watch below at some exhibit in Europe. Signed by Vardon & Stedmann, the beautiful piece is in an oblong gold and decorated case with an enamel dial. The real fun is in the hands. The watch makers created two telescopic hands that automatically get longer or shorter depending on where they are pointing to on the dial. Even back then there were people like me who hated short hands, and didn't want to limit themselves

Replacement deployment buckle on RG ROO
I've got tiny wrists (6 inches) and the deployment buckle is the only thing that stops me wearing this 24/7... how much would I be looking at to replace it with a pin buckle & strap?

First AP. First post on the AP forum section, hi all!
Hey everyone. I spend most of my time on the Rolex side of these forums but having purchased my first AP today I've traveled over here to share my excitement and new watch! So hello to all and here it is!ImageUploadedByTapatalk1449538878.644984.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1449538889.947137.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1449538898.063775.jpgSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

His ROO and Her RO and a clock for me!
Wife and I have been looking for complimentary watches for some time. This year I picked up the 44mm RG novelty. Over the holiday season, we ended up at Magnum in the Caymans and she ended up with this 33mm RG RO. I was looking at a PP5711 blue face down the road but just didn't love it enough... to my wife's benefit :).I did a get a small bit of my AP fix with the purchase of an AP dealer wall clock. I have a picture of it but have not yet had the benefit of seeing it in person because it is being shipped to me. A big thank you to Conkers for going out of his way to help me get this from his AD!

Pre Baselworld incoming and no stickers left!
Been craving this underrated beauty for a while, decided to visit the AD and grab their last one! Who knows what Baselworld will announce, maybe the end of the Explorer II? Stickers off and enjoying her today!
