Audemars Piguet Watch Manufacture
An interesting time at the various Audemars Piguet watch manufacture facilities leads to an interesting article I wrote in Haute Living. The full text of the Audemars Piguet manufacture article is here, but I've gone ahead and put images from the visit in the gallery below. Enjoy, I think AP fans and general watch lovers will find it a good read. #gallery-2 { margin: auto; } #gallery-2 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 20%; } #gallery-2 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-2 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; }

To all the lovely ladies in TRF
Happy belated Valentine's Day! ok... it's very belated because I just downloaded the photo today

Should I service Watch
Hi,I would like to ask opinion about whether I should have my watch serviced.I own the omega Speedmaster broad arrow for about 13 years. The watch has never beens serviced and it is still running OK at around -6 to -7 sec/day.I am thinking to have the watch service but the cost is pretty high (about $800-$900) considering the price of the watch now. I have seen someone mentioned that if the watch is still running OK then better keep it that way.I would like to ask for opinion on this.Thanks.

Speedy 145.022 '68 back from the spa!
Arrived yesterday after a movement service. Also had a Priek caseback installed so I can enjoy the view. Not a fan of the 1039 bracelet, so trying out a couple of kevlar straps with it.

I76 Cordovan strap was in my mailbox today... Very nice.
I wanted to share a very good custom strap I received from Igor at I76 custom straps. Igor made me two straps and both are fantastic. He took my specifications and made me a Cordovan 24-22mm strap so I could use a Panerai buckle. Quality and look is fantastic. He also made me a 24mm rustic brown ostrich as well. I put a black 24mm buckle on that to complete the look. Weather was winter gloomy but I had to share a pic.
