Zenith Captain Winsor Annual Calendar Watch
As a unique collaboration with the MIH (the Mus��e International d'Horlogerie), Zenith introduces a great new member of their Captain family of watches. With a base in-house made El Primero Chronograph movement, Zenith and the MIH have developed a special new module that adds a very legible and practical annual calendar complication to the mix. In total you get the high-beat El Primero automatic movement, a 60 minute chronograph, and an annual calendar with the date, day, and month. All that and a lit Ludwig.Ludwig? Yea, you know Ludwig right? I of course mean Ludwig Oechslin, and by MIH I really him. He is the curator of the MIH and a friggin' genius. One of his most interesting achievements was the creation of the "trilogy" set of astronomical watches for Ulysse Nardin in the 1990s. Oechslin is unique because he didn't start his life as a watch maker until he was about 30. Before that he was a mathematician. He is particularly good at engineering concepts requiring complex calculation

Thoughts on Resale Value of AP vs Hublot and Comparison in General
As some of you know I just recently purchased my first AP watch. I am thrilled with it and have been enjoying it! One of my co-workers is also a watch nut and a discussion came up as to the similarities between Genta's Royal Oak design and the Hublot. So much in fact, that the only compliments I've received on my new watch to this point has been Oh, thats really nice watch! Is that a Hublot? Not that I care so much - but it was interesting. Any of you experience that?I am curious to hear the thoughts of the forum on why AP commands such a higher purchase price and also in resale vs. Hublot?With two watch brands that are very similar in look, it seems that Hublot is constantly innovating and developing new designs around this same theme while AP is just doing the same and raising prices. Just curious...

SIHH is almost here: What would you like to get from AP?
I kinda stole this idea from another watch forum, but hopefully the guys there wouldn't mind.So, what watches do you like AP to roll out in a few weeks from now?My wishes for the upcoming SIHH:1) RO 15202 in white gold or platinum, on bracelet. Would make an awesome grail piece, although the price may be excessive and unreachable for me in the next 1 or 2 decades :( 2) Titanium Royal Oak with a ceramic bezel, on a rubber strap, preferably in the 37-39mm range. I see 1% chance, it would be too close in many ways to the Offshore range. 3) Same as #2, but in full ceramic, on rubber strap. I see a bit higher chance to see this sometime in the future. 4) A smaller Offshore Diver, somewhere around 37 to 40mm. Just please-please don't market it as a ladies' diver, that would kill it for slim wrist men like me :)) 5) Royal Oak Annual Calendar 6) Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Chronograph, preferably on a bracelet, with steel case as the base model. It would be an awesome choice for guys who'd li

Sky Dweller potential issue, owners chime in
Gents (and ladies), I noticed something off on my SkyD dial but unable to pinpoint until I took a pic. The Rolex font seem thin and spaced quite apart. Googled for images, seem like this font is more common on white dial while other colours have bolder font. Is that the case?
