Best Of: Audemars Piguet Watch Museum
It is ironic (and sad), that literally a week or two after I visited the Audemars Piguet Watch Museum in Le Brassus, it was burglarized! Yup, flat out heist. The thieves scaled the sides of the building with a ladder, broke into a window and ran off across the border into France with some watches. I am not sure what they were able to run off with. The museum is designed such that the exhibits are each in highly secured "vault" style rooms. Meaning that if you break into one room, chances are that you aren't gonna get into other rooms.

This or That: 5230G vs. Lange 1 moonphase WG
So, help me out here....Yes I know this is a Patek subforum but hopefully that doesn't equate to blind prejudice :)These two pieces are very different. However my current collection already includes travel timers (e.g. the 5164, GMTII, SBGJ019), time only watches, and moonphases, as well as Lange (1815 Up/Down and Saxonia Annual Calendar), and of course the perfect little PP 3940j that will never leave my collection.So the question of This or That is not one based on need, or a desire to round out the stable...simply the fact that both pieces (the Lange 1 and the 5230) have each caught my eye and I want to choose between them.What would you do?Rich
