Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Grand Prix Watches
This year Audemars Piguet is of the brands releasing a lot of new watches. The most visually exciting of which is this Royal Oak Offshore Grand Prix watch collection. Each is in a limited edition, so these aren't permanent additions to the collection. There are three luxurious versions and I have for you the hands-on experience. Let's start with the basic options. Each has ceramic and lots of forged carbon, but I will get to that in a bit. You have a choice of complimenting it with titanium, 18k pink gold, or platinum. These come in a limited edition of 1750 pieces, 650 pieces, and 75 pieces, respectively. Clearly titanium is going to be the biggest and most affordable seller, and I will explain why.The "new" luxury watch doesn't need to be a giant paper weight. Sure it can be heavy as is typically valued, but lightness is in. Years of giant metal watches have consumers lashing back, not for smaller watches, but for ones that are lighter. After spending $50,000 on your new golden love,

The limited edition of Tag Heuer Monaco V4 Watch
The movement used belts of small rather than gear trains for much of the movement. The first watch made in Platinum in a limited edition of 150 pieces. I have written on the Tag Heuer Monaco V4 original watches here and here. Now Tag Heuer brings the Monaco V4, in a slightly larger case (41 mm wide compared to 39 mm wide) and ceramic and the rose of gold ruthenium. The dial is black with various colours and elements of gold and pink. This time it will be limited to only 60 parts.

What is this Breitling?
Hi All,I recently purchased this nice Breitling manual wind single pusher chronograph. I've been trawling forums to try and find a similar model but with no luck. The case size is 41mm.It looks like an early 40's model, maybe a precursor to the Chronomat?The dial has been restored from what I can see.Kind regards,Paul

5726/1A vs 5496p-001
Hey guys, new to the forums - I currently own a 5726/1A (full steel w/ grey dial) and have been offered to swap it for a 5496p-001 + ��10k. I have a 5711/r & am thinking of adding a 5711 blue steel at premium. I'm not a big fan of the size of the 5726 and love the 5496p but have been told its a terrible trade. Would love to hear your thoughts!
