Piaget Altiplano 38mm 900P Is Newest World's Thinnest Mechanical Watch At 3.65mm
For 2014 Piaget will once again hold and retain the title of "world's thinnest watch" with the Altiplano 38mm 900P. For years now Piaget has been releasing mechanical watch after mechanical watch exclusively dedicated to the notion of being the thinnest possible of that type. This practice began long ago with lots of success. In 1957 they released the 2mm thick 9P movement and in 1960 they released the famed 12p automatic movement. Sometimes Piaget gets de-throned in a particular "ultra-thin" category by another brand who is able to cut out another fraction of a millimeter from the thickness of a case or movement. This year they take the title of absolute world's thinnest mechanical watch back with this actually very ultra-thin creation that is just 3.65mm thick, and whose movement is merged with the case.Over the last few years who has been the most interested in "ultra-thin?" Pretty much everyone. The notion of a very thin mechanical watch has been a haute horology trend as of late.

Newbie with Durability Question
Hi, I just joined the forum. I have had a Patek 5036 WG since new in 1999. Love the watch and wear it often. I'd like to get my wife a 4936 Annual calendar. My question is, how durable are these watches? My wife is not particularly careful. She wears a Rolex now, and even golfs with it. I know she should not play golf with this Patek. But is this watch too delicate for daily wear in someone who may be careless? She is also looking at a new Rolex which is probably more durable for her. Any thoughts? Thanks

It is a DARK day..
Got my Tudor Black Bay DARK from an old friend (and fellow TRF member)! My first Tudor!

Basel World speculation
What are the chances that Rolex comes out with a yellow gold DateJust 41? They already have it in the DateJust 36. So it kind of makes sense. A Day-Date is around 25KA YG 36mm DateJust is around 19K or so?I could see a 41mm DateJust for around 20k.Would it just hurt the sales of the DayDate 40?I personally don't care for the day function and wouldn't really buy a DayDate. What do you think?

AP 26331 vs Rolex 116509
With a steel sub as the only other piece in your collection which would you opt for? Or is the answer simply to wait for a possible in-house movement in 2018 for the AP or a ceramic bezel on the Daytona? This is not a personal dilemma I am just curious what everyone would go for :). Don't forget to state why you made your choice in the discussion !
