Introducing the Oris ProPilot Altimeter
Who on earth ��needs' a watch with an altimeter? ��Wants' is a different matter.So there you are at 15,000ft, about to tip your Mk XVI Spit into a dive. ?You thumb the Merlin up to full boost then, casually – because you're that sort of chap – you glance down to check your aircraft altimeter against your watch's.

AP Online warranty extension

I guess AP has begun to aggressively implementing their new strategy of closing down ADs and opening their own boutiques.

Fully brushed Bond bracelet on my SMPC...
I thought you might like a couple shi**y mobile phone photos of probably the first SMPc on TRF :)....I completely brushed the bracelet gently using a circular steel wire tool attached to my drill.
