Richard Mille RM 056 All Sapphire Crystal Watch
No doubt it is cool. It is also wildly expensive and a showpiece above all else. This new highly limited edition watch from Richard Mille is the RM 056 and comes in an all sapphire crystal case. It is very visually intriguing and costs a mere $1,650,000. Probably easier to laugh about the price rather than get upset.According to Richard Mille it requires over 1000 hours to produce the case of the watch. The case is identical to that of previous Richard Mille Felipe Massa pieces. The movement is also an updated evolution on that RM 008 caliber. Only the case is in sapphire crystal and the movement layout and architecture have changed a bit. 1000 hours is a long time. I would hate to ask how long it would take for a new case if you need it to be repaired.The full name of the watch is the RM 056 Felipe Massa Sapphire Tourbillon Split Seconds Competition Chronograph. Aside from a house in Bermuda, I am not sure what this watch is competing with. The concept is actually very impressive. Sta

Speedy 145.022 '68 back from the spa!
Arrived yesterday after a movement service. Also had a Priek caseback installed so I can enjoy the view. Not a fan of the 1039 bracelet, so trying out a couple of kevlar straps with it.

Patek - Quartz??
Today at my barber the gentleman next to me gets up to leave and pay as I notice his watch appears to be a PP. I compliment and ask to look at it on his wrist. He explains he wants to upgrade to the mechanical movement, leaving me perplexed. He says it's a quartz... then tells me it is for sale if I would like it. Can anyone tell me more about when these were produced, what is current value of these? Thanks all.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Additional Options for Precious Metal Daytonas?
I might be a little late to the party, but it's been a while since I've visited the Rolex website. I just checked it out today and I saw a variety of Daytonas in precious metal that I hadn't seen in the past. I find the one below particularly stunning.
