Roger Dubuis Introduces La Monegasque Collection, We Go Hands-On
Earlier this month, Swiss manufacturer Roger Dubuis introduced their entirely new La Mon��gasque line of watches within the historic Monte Carlo district of Monaco. The venue served as the inspiration for the young brand, who refers to their newest creations as "an ode to gaming, glamour and the Riviera." In their attempt to capture this spirit, they've built no less than eight models to comprise the La Mon��gasque collection. We were there, and we've got the skinny on the best of the new releases.?Roger Dubuis (first seen here) has managed to scale their manufacturing capabilities to near 100% since their inception in 1995. Production is handled entirely within the walls of their Geneva facilities, where every watch that comes out the door carries the coveted Geneva Seal. For the La Mon��gasque collection, new calibers were designed and built, meant to embody the next generation of manufacturing abilities for the marque. One in particular caught my eye during the release event, the RD540

Buying RO bracelet separately
Other than the boutiques, where would be the best place to buy a gold RO bracelet for the best price?

New gold jumbo
The story of why I decided to buy a Royal Oak is covered in the thread on my 15400 purchase a couple months ago.Since then, I've been second guessing my decision not to get it in all gold. I have other PM pieces, but they're all in white gold. Then I tried the 15400 in all gold and even though I prefer that size in steel or two tone, I realized I really wanted 39mm if I was going full gold. TRF to the rescue with the 15202OR recommendation a few days ago. Made a good deal with Thanh (he's always the man), and today my new gold jumbo arrived!Pics...

Investment Advice on 6102P
Hi, I would like some people's views on the 6102P as an investment piece. I was in the shop buying a PP (first PP but regular customer who have purchased many others) and my AD mentioned that there are a few PP beauties coming in soon and one of them is the 6102P. Given the price, I want to do my research before I even consider it thinking about it so I would appreciate any thoughts on this. The only reason I am even contemplating about it is the fact that I don't have to go through the process / application which takes ages, and even if you have money you might not be given one.Some of the questions I was thinking- What would be a good sale price to get this piece? - How many years before I can see any good returns?- How rare is it compare to other PPs?- Given the GFC and downturn, what is the demand in the market for watches such as this?I would rather spend it on a watch and enjoy it then put my money in a term deposit.

Panerai newbie question
I've taken in a PAM 111 on a trade and it's my first Panerai. It's a 2005 model and I don't believe it has ever been serviced. It seems to be running fast, 30 seconds a day. I love the watch and am not sure what I should do - the previous owner offered to take it to a watchmaker to have it regulated but recommended against opening it up. Is this normal for an older Panerai? Should I get it serviced by Panerai instead? Do nothing and just enjoy it?Advice would be appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
