Hands-On: With The A. Lange & S?hne 1815 Tourbillon With Stop-Seconds Mechanism And Zero Reset (Live Pictures, Video, Pricing)
Let's get one thing straight. I'm not a tourbillon guy at all. In fact, I think most of them are downright ridiculous. There are, of course, a few exceptions, where I believe the technical thoughtfulness, artistic integrity, and the simple beauty of them in motion outweigh my general belief that this complication is more than useless (then again, aren't all mechanical watches?). Some that I give a pass to include those from Laurent Ferrier and FP Journe, the Tradition tourbillon from Breguet, the?14-day guys from VC, the Gyro from JLC, the downright?ridiculousness of the mega RM's, and the occasional?ultra-slim Royal Oak tourbillon. But, if it came down to it, and I were forced to spend my own (pretend) money on a tourbillon wristwatch, it would likely (though not definitely) be from A. Lange & S?hne. 2 OF 12 Now I'm not going to lie and tell you that if given my druthers, the Lange tourbillon I'd buy would be this new 1815 (first shown to you in January during the SIHH)

Is it just me?
Or does Omega just make some of the coolest, most competent, elegant, durable, sylish, timeless, interesting, underrated and unassuming watches in the world?I've had a Seamaster PO 42mm for the last 5 years and it's been my go-to watch for tough weekend work. It has withstood the beating, kept great time, looks cooler than snot, is incredibly comfortable and continues to look like new (with just a healthy bit of patina). I also really enjoy the Speedy's and am sure one will find its way into my watch cabinet at some point as well. Might even be one of the new 9300 Speedy's!!...So I know we're in the Rolex Forums here, and that most of us own and enjoy Rolexes (and other fine watches), but I find the appeal of the Omega brand and its watches to be stronger than ever. Anyone agree?

Patek ADs around the world
I thought it would be interesting to have a thread of ADs around the world. Post a pic of your favourite AD. I'll start with the London salon, my favourite shop on the planet! Called in on Saturday and they had some sought after pieces. Notable references included 5960/1a, 5980/1r, 5960p (black dial),6102p.

Calling all Patek Philippe Owners...
Will the standard PP crocodile strap fit a smaller wrist (6 1/4 inches)? How are adjustments made in such a strap (have not seen one in person)? Thanks!!
