The Jaquet Droz Only Watch ’09
The Jaquet Droz Only Watch ’09, a unique Grande Seconde, combines a Grand Feu enamelled dial created using an 18th century technique with a case made of 21st century high tech ceramic. This unique timepiece proudly displays a rare red dial – red being the color of Monaco, the home of Only Watch. Creating the red dial required all the know-how of the most skilled craftsmen. An ivory colored enamel dial needs about ten layers to achieve the right color, and each layer must be fired at 800��. Black requires 15 layers and 15 firings, and blue 19. Red needs 22 layers. Each layer requires a new firing, and each firing creates the risk of breakage, bubbling, or both.Manuel Emch, CEO of Jaquet Droz, says it took the company 6 years to find a way to stabilize the red dial. “It is the first time we have created a completely red enameled dial and, given the complexity, it is probably the last, says Mr. Emch with a smile.Only Watch is an auction held every two years in Monaco.

AP 26320 TPD required
Ok guys so I've finally pulled the trigger. I'm getting the AP 26320 rose gold (silver dial) on leather strap. Paid advance token money today and will be getting my watch in september .. I'm excited, can't wait!!! Will be posting pictures on a incoming thread when I get it :)So I will be putting the watch on a winder, does anyone know what are the turns per day required and in which direction to wind the watch. I was trying to search on google but didn't get an answer. I know I know its too early to be asking these questions but want to know before it arrives. Thanks

New Racing strap combo - Speedy Pro
I've been wearing this combo for a few days now, and I have to say, I really like it. Not only does it look great (IMO), but it's also very comfortable. Not sure why I kept the bracelet on for as long as I did...Gabarro Racing padded small perforation strap & Bob Davis RHD polished SS double deployment.

Anyone seen a Speedmaster like this?
cgi.ebay/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:ITIf you notice the pictures, there is a silver looking ring around the hesalite crystal. I've seen many Speedmasters but this is the first. I've contacted the seller and he told me that the crystal was previously polished and the reflections changed. Does anyone have any insight on this? Any input is greatly appreciated.

I heard a story.
I was told, from a very liable source, that Patek once released 10 or less 5711's with a camouflage green dial, much like the one on the Aquanaut that made it's way to the Sothebys auction in Geneva this summer. Apparently these green dial 5711's were only given to selected clients named directly by Mr. Philippe Stern. I wonder if anyone has seen it or heard a similar story ?
