Hoptroff No. 10 Atomic Pocket Watch: Interview On Making A Time Gadget For The Future
There's going to be a rather interesting watch presented later this year at SalonQP 2013 in London - an atomic pocket watch called the No. 10 by Hoptroff. At first blush, you're probably thinking that it's just another atomic radio signal-syncing timepiece, albeit one that's in a different format than we're used to seeing (and even quite different from Bathys' Cesium 133 atomic clock watch creation). However, this has the potential to be something a whole lot cooler (and one you likely wouldn't want to take through airport security). The Hoptroff No. 10 is actually going to rely on an on-board atomic clock that relies on a cesium oven (which is why we're seeing this in a pocket watch case, and not on your wrist) to maintain accuracy with the same Symmetricom atomic clock ship that the Bathys Cesium 133 uses, but here in a larger and probably more logical pocket watch form.While details are still forthcoming (we'll be able to provide a better sense of the watch as the November start of

Advice needed
As some of you may know, I am planning on getting as my 3rd watch a 5167R, but lately with all these threads about full RG 5980's I have started to be liking full gold pieces, the 5980-1R being totally out of my financial league I found one which is quite cool, on their website the pics are wrong it looks like very red gold when in fact it's pink gold.So that watch is the AP Jumbo in RG with blue dial, it's more expensive than the Aquanaut but it's possible to get one new at around 35K in euros, when for a brand new Aquanaut it's more around 27K, both are beautiful, the PP would get probably more wrist time as the Jumbo would not be suitable for all occasions, so wanted to ask you guys what you think knowing that I have the 5712 on bracelet and the 5726 on strap.I love the Aquanaut with that brown rubber strap and chocolate dial it goes very well with RG, and the Jumbo in RG and that magnificent blue is very cool also, just would like to know your opinions as if I need to concentrate o

Introduction... and first AP.
Figured I'd officially introduce myself and say Hi to the fellow AP owners. I recently purchased my first AP (a silver dial 15400 from Brian G aka boxerbrian) and absolutely love it. I have owned several Rolexes, probably a dozen Panerais, Omegas, Breitlings, Tudors, UNs, IWCs, GOs, etc etc - mainly hang out on the Dive Watch Connection and buy/sell/trade on there, TZ and Paneristi. I've wanted a Diver ever since they were first introduced but because I love my DSSD on Rubber B so much I decided to fill a gap in my collection and do the 15400 with my first AP. The watch has more finishing details than any other piece I've ever owned with probably a GO Sport Evo Panorama date being second. Everything about the watch screams quality and it's versatile enough for me that I can wear it in my business casual work environment or with jeans. After only a few days of ownership I'm already thinking about my next one if that tells you anything!So, on to the pics! Also, a few after of the rest of

I've been trying to get on a few waiting lists for a 116610LN and had a rather interesting addition to the response from an AD via email. Presumably they would have no actual hard info on this given the secrecy of Rolex, but it's usual that they said it:Quote:
