IWC Opens Flagship Boutique in Hong Kong
Hong Kong and Schaffhausen may seem worlds apart, but they have something in common: a very special place to view IWC timepieces. IWC’s Flagship Boutique is their fourth Hong Kong location, and the most extravagant, and it may provide a model for future boutiques in key markets. The boutique presents a unique backdrop and offers insight into the worlds of IWC. Each IWC timepiece collection is presented in a thematic room. The Portuguese collection is displayed in a Navigators’ Lounge with dark wood floor panels and custom recessed glass display cabinets reminiscent of a luxury yacht. The Pilot series is housed in the Sports Lifestyle Wing with 1930s club chairs and IWC aviator jackets. This room also offers a flight simulator. Da Vincis are displayed in an atmosphere of inventiveness and aesthetic sophistication. The Aquatimer room conquers the depths and presents the intriguing story of the Galapagos Islands. Each room brings the collection to life.

Need to share this
The link for the article bellow made me want/reacquire an AP bad, but more importantly it gave me a different perspective of the Importance of AP. The title is A week on the wrist: The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph but it has way more information than the watch itself. Touches subjects related to Rolex and Patek as well.I have to admit that I am not a fan of threads that list a link, because it kinds of looses importance in my eyes; but in this case is easier to paste the link..hodinkee/blog/audemar...nograph-review

Clicking when adjusting time
My Diver is acting up on me again. So when i try to adjust the time i could feel and hear clicking sound as if there is something blocking the crown every half turn. The clicking sound is similar to the sound when turning the bezel. I am worried and I think this would be my last AP.

The Planet Ocean GTM GoodPlanet is in (but not incoming)
I really like Omega's affiliation with GoodPlanet so I was pretty happy when I got the call that the new Planet Ocean GMT was in. I currently don't have a GMT in the line-up so I had high expectations on this watch, specially after seeing Ruckdee's excellent photos and review.The PO-GMT GP package is beautiful with a big bamboo box. My first impressions was: wow, this is a solid piece. 43.5mm and more than 17mm thick (probably 17.25 or 17.5) and it is heavy. I don't have the exact weight but at least 200 grams, which puts it exactly in the same class as the Rolex Deepsea. Unfortunately, I find that problematic because as much as I adore the DSSD I think it is top-heavy and quite often uncomfortable to wear. The PO-GMT is in the same superweight-class but lacks the adjustable clasp, which is a life-saver on the DSSD. This might not be a big minus for many or most people, it is just that I don't need another DSSD, which I often have to take off my wrist when working at the computer, or i
