Pre-SIHH 2016: Vacheron Constantin
Vacheron Constantin has just announced that for the 2016 SIHH, they’ll be introducing four new models into the Métiers d'Art Fabuleux Ornements collection. The collection was first introduced two years ago as part of the larger Métiers d'Art collection of timepieces, and basically, they’re intended as a celebration of the decorative arts of different cultures, with Ottoman architecture, Chinese embroidery, Indian manuscript, and French lace. These arts are interpreted through engraving and openworking, as well as through enameling techniques, including cloisonné and champlevé, and guilloché engraving techniques.The new references use the same basic design motifs as the models introduced in 2014, but with variations in colors as well as new case materials. The movement in these watches is Vacheron’s caliber 1003, which was first used by Vacheron in 1955 (and which is the heart of one of their most wonderful watches). At

AP RO vs Patek Nautilus
I would like a real comparison between the AP 3120 and the Patek 324. Nautilus 5711 vs AP RO 15400.The AP 3120 has 40 Jewels and 60 hour power reserve. The Patek has 29 Jewels and 45 hour power reserve and non hacking. Can we compare the + and - of these movements, jewels, balance bridges, shock systems, power reserve, accuracy, etc? In terms of negatives I've heard of the 3120 having rebanking issues and the 324 having date change issues. What else are possible issues with these movements.

Double Oh! Oh! Omega Quantum of Solace
I just picked up a few weeks back the Omega Planet Ocean Quantum of Solace Limited Edition Watch from a fellow WIS. You don't know how difficult it was to box up my PO 45.5 Black w/Orange Numbers to swap for the QOS. But when the box arrived, I had completed one of my best transactions ever! I am not only a PO lover, but since a child a BIG James Bond fan. Thus, the QOS was the perfect addition to the family. I love the texture of the watch face fashioned after the famous Walter PPK grip on 007's weapon of choice. The Silver numbers really sit well on the Black Face. I did not know if I'd like the laser engraved crystal w/QOS, but found it to be very subtle. It is only noticeable at certain angles. Well, now for the pics as I enjoy a Martini...shaken not stirred!

AR coating on non-cyclops crystals?
Site referenced below (source of attached pic) suggests Rolex apply AR coating on top, or on top and below, of current production non-cyclops models.I had been under impression Rolex do not apply AR coating to any of their crystals, only underneath the cyclops on date models.Any forum members available to examine laser-etched coronet on their recent production flat crystal model (e.g., Explorer I, Oyster Perpetual, no-date Sub) for indication AR coating is used?I am prohibited from posting links because my post count is too low; Google how to identify Rolex's anti-reflective coating and first result is page spurring this question.
