How Precise is Your Watch? Test It with the Lepsi Watch Scope
For everyone who’s ever read a watch test or review in WatchTime and wished they could test their own timepieces for accuracy at home �� and without making the major investment of a Witschi timing machine �� Geneva-based Lepsi has an ideal stocking stuffer: the Lepsi Watch Scope, essentially a stethoscope to read the “heartbeat” of a mechanical watch.The Watch Scope is a compact device (retailing for 369 Swiss francs, that syncs with your smartphone to measure a mechanical watch’s vital stats �� including rate variation, amplitude and beat error �� in just seconds.

Interesting outing
I'm not sure which forum to post this in given the range of brands involved, but thought I'd try the AP forum, as this is where I spend most of my time. Last night I used the excuse of a trip to my tailor to get out of the office to do a quick circuit of some of the grey dealers and ADs in Tsim Sha Tsui and encountered quite a nice selection of watches.

And I must say that I found it a bit disappointing - it seemed much smaller than I'd been expecting (not helped by putting it on after taking off my AP 44!). I liked it...didn't love it - but removing any sense of urgency to acquire this is good for my bank balance.

Need help to identify its authenticity on Ebay
Hi guys I really need some help here, I am looking at this AP on ebay .ebay/itm/272367339875...%3AMEBIDX%3AITThe seller didn't explain why the winner didn't purchase the watch, I sent him an email and he offered me the watch. I can not really tell the difference from the picture provided on ebay.However he did email me 2 pictures today with closer shot and I felt the engravings on the back look a bit different from other watches that are exactly the same model. Details: He asks to paypal $10k due to limitation withdraw on his paypal account and bank wire him the rest. I called paypal and find out his email is not registered with paypal. He does have decent feedback and so far the stories he has given seems to match, he gave 2 ebay ID (1 has 300 feedbcak and 1 has 40 feedback) who he claim he sold the watch to but didn't go through ebay, I contacted them and both replied with decent feedback. I do want to give him the benefit of the doubt and I was hoping to get some help here. HE ALSO
