C3H5N3O9 Experiment ZR012 Watch In Black Zirconium
Last year Max Busser of MB&F was telling me about the C3H5N3O9 mini watch brand before it was debuted later in June of 2012. He didn't mention it by name, but did say that it was going to be a collaborative project between his team at MB&F and their colleagues at Geneva-based watch brand Urwerk. Together they were going to experiment on a watch designed by them both, under a new brand name, that was going to be marketed purely by word of mouth. That means no advertising whatsoever, and no media outreach (aside to select places such as watches-dealer). The irony to me is that given their desire for the C3H5N3O9 to be spread via word-of-mouth, they sure gave it a difficult enough name to remember. "Yea man, there is this new limited edition watch by MB&F and Urwerk. I don't recall the name, but it is the molecular name for nitroglycerine." Imagine a dozen more conversations starting like that. C3H5N3O9 is also a disaster to try and say out loud.I'll give it to the guys that "

AP service center experience?
So, today I went to the AP SC to send my AP to have a pressure test to get the 3rd year guarantee sticker. The staff at the SC in Bkk was very nice and was giving me advice like I should bring my AP to service before the 3rdyear guarantee run out so I can save the service cost. However I was quite surprised that the price of the rubber strap is just around 400$ and if I pay by cash I'll get another 10% discount which is much less than I expected. Then I also saw the AP travel case which is all made from leather and cost around 95$ when I've seen offers in the forum or in ebay for around 215$ even ! Does anyone have this particular case did you get it and how does a large Ap fit ? And how does the pressure test take normally? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Again? Nautilus vs Royal Oak
I met a friend few days ago, found he was wearing Royal Oak. A usual friend gathering became a Nautilus and Royal Oak beauty contesting! Which one you like? Why?I feel my choice is so right, and you? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

5167 bracelet vs strap
Does the 5167 on a bracelet lose its value more than a 5167 on a strap? I've noticed that even tough the bracelet is quite a bit more than the strap new, preowned there isn't much different in price. If you buy a preowned 5167 on a bracelet can you sell the bracelet and put it on a strap or will that hurt the overall value if the watch?I happen to prefer the strap more but I've come across a pretty good deal on a preowned bracelet but would want to sell the bracelet and put it on a strap. I'd love to hear everyones thoughts and opinions.

Lots of SS sports watches at Raffi in Waterloo Ontario.
I was surprised at the inventory. Subs, Sub dates GMTs explorers. When I was in the Rolex boutique in Orlando last week there were none. And they weren't expecting any until February.
