Romain Jerome Chrono Tourbillon Limited Edition Watch
The newest high-end wrist watch from Romain Jerome is another version of their Titanic DNA and tourbillon collection. The naming of the brand's watches has gotten shorter over the years which is a good thing, but the DNA hasn't changed. I appreciate that the name of the watch is just the "Romain Jerome Chrono Tourbillon."The case is the same 46mm wide size that RJ has been using for a few years. I still like the looks of it even though it is a unique style. Not everyone likes the oxidized steel bezel look.

Then you will notice the stars that make up some of the numeral indicators and think you are a general wearing their watch to battle. No other timepiece I know says luxury with military hints in quite the same way.I have a fondness for watches like this because they embody pure utilitarian fantasy. There is probably no person in the

An amazing AP Tour !!
I was planning a vacation to Florida and wanting to look at some AP's but couldn't find a dealer. I decided to call the service center. Well, long story short, after a phone call and a few emails, I was set up with a tour at the AP Service center in Clearwater. The tour was so enjoyable I wanted to share a little with my forum friends, so here goes:The entrance is very nondescript with some large beautiful trees out front. To give size perspective that is my Toyota LandCruiser dwarfed by the trees. 1.JPG 2.JPGWalking up to the door, I was wondering if I was even at the correct building until I saw the large AP etched in the doors. I was let in by a security guard and led to a waiting area with some nice reading material. Wish I had more time to read but they were very prompt.3.JPG 3.5.JPGI was introduced to a few people and met my tour guide (straight from Switzerland). I was even given a AP labcoat to wear.4.JPGThe first thing done when they receive a watch is take a high def video
