Talking Watches: With Pras
If you were growing up in the mid '90s like I was, there were a few albums that transcended any form of genre or culture to become part of something bigger – part of life. The Score was one of those albums. The Fugees, consisting of Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, and Pras Michel, went on to win two Grammys and The Score went platinum twice over. At the center of this trio is today's guest. Not only is the man who can be held responsible for the creation of this super group (Pras discovered Lauryn Hill in high school in South Orange, New Jersey) a seasoned performer and writer, but he is also an acclaimed documentary filmmaker, philanthropist, and yes, even a serious watch collector. This is Talking Watches with the Fugees' Pras Michel. Audemars Piguet Millenary Rose Gold 1 OF 20 Pras is a lover of rose gold, and this Millenary dates to the the earliest years of AP's production of this line. Pras wears this watch often when he needs something subtle

New to AP. Looking at buying new blue dial RO
Hey everyone. Id really like to get a hold of a blue dial Royal Oak but know not a lot about them. From my understanding I would need to buy from a boutique with my nearest being in France. I did email them but they did not reply. Are these items on a long waiting list or fairly easy to purchase? Eg. Buying a sub vs trying to buy a Daytona ceramic. I have spotted a few models which appear to my newbie eye to be similar eg. Jumbo and 15400. 39mm and 41mm. Am I mixing a lot of things up here with new references and old?After reading these appear to be more delicate than SS Rolex models. I am careful at the best of times but how often should a new RO be serviced and what is the normal cost for this. Ive seen blue dial new unworn watches for ��14000 or there abouts. Does this scream beware?Sorry for bombarding with questions. Thank you.

Omega with Class...Cufflinks!!
The best way to top of a great business look or an evening affair is to wear Omega Cufflinks with your Omega watch! I have wanted a pair of these for years. I guess too lazy to just go to the Omega Boutique. But my search came to an end last week arriving from across the Pond aka the UK. After spending more than I wanted...when they arrived they were worth every cent! The detail is unbelievable, from the certificate of authenticity, to the serial numbers engraved on the back, to the engraved omega symbol on the end. I was shocked to see it come in the white mini omega box. If you ever have an opportunity to grab a set...Just Do It!!
