Question about RO Dual Time/Regular
Hi Everyone!So I've been researching and am set on adding a RO to my collection, but in hunting for the right one, I've ended up with a few questions that I haven't been able to find the answers for.While I know RO dual time models retail for 22,000, I was initially shocked to find that ones in excellent used condition sell here (and elsewhere) for anywhere between 11.5-13k (even found one at 9000, which may have been too good to be true) while I've seen regular RO (3120 Calibers) sell for 12,000 around the forum as well. Is there a reason for this other than the fact that the Dual Time uses a JLC movement and a different caseback while 15450/15400 are fully in-house? I was a bit surprised to find that the more complicated pre-loved Dual Times sold around the same price as 15400/15450s

Its Here! New Audemars 15400
So my new 15400 I serial is finally here after a long and painful weekend. Its even more beautiful than I ever would have thought. Here are a few quick pics from my phone. Also I have a quick question about the clasp. In all the pictures I have seen, the clasp has an AP logo above the words Audemars Piguet but this one doesnt have that logo. Have they changed the design of the clasp? uploadfromtaptalk1384804500465.jpguploadfromtaptalk1384804508589.jpguploadfromtaptalk1384804518653.jpguploadfromtaptalk1384804528610.jpguploadfromtaptalk1384804535960.jpguploadfromtaptalk1384804545271.jpguploadfromtaptalk1384804552202.jpgSent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2

Rolex Strategy
If this has been discussed, I am sorry. I did a search, but was unable to find. I think that most of us will likely agree that Rolex is the king of marketing. With the current lack of sports models most specifically in the UK and the US, do you think this is part of their marketing? I have heard from many sources that AD's are not getting any new shipments, specifically for sports models, until after the new year.That seems odd to me. My guess would always be that they want to sell more watches. Or, maybe they want to drive more sales of the professional watches?Or, maybe they are looking to create scarcity in the market so that they can soon raise their prices?Or, maybe they simply are looking to become more exclusive so they are limiting their supply?Or, maybe they are just unable to keep up with demand?I know for a fact it has had an effect on me. The simple fact that a 114060 is seemingly so hard to get, makes me want to get one. Then again, I have always been a sucker for ma
