Audemars Piguet Millenary MC12 Tourbillon Chronograph Watch Available On James List
I am always curious as to what the thought process is when admirable watch makers design watches after cars.

Well this is the Audemars Piguet Millenary MC12 Tourbillon Chronograph. Let me unravel that name for a moment.

Here we'll show you seven watches introduced in 2015 that are absolutely awesome, though you likely forgot about them. 1. The Rotonde De Cartier Chronograph 1 OF 8 What Is It?I say this every tim

Aquanaut question
Need advice please. I own a 1st generation Aquanaut Jumbo (ref. 5065) - purchased new, never worn, still sealed in plastic from the dealer, Open Papers; a Safe Queen.

It was a tough watch to find back in the day.Questions: 1) Does this hold any desirability with collectors?2) What price would I expect if put on the market now?
