The miniaturization of the transponder module
The miniaturization of the transponder module, hosted on the base, wiring and its transmitter antenna was completely redesigned in a watchmaking perspective, combining technical inventiveness with a subtle and elegant integration with all of the design. Research and development required more than 18 months of work devoted by Jaeger-LeCoultre? s engineers, and an intense collaboration of Aston Martin. It is relatively easy to understand how to operate the transponder AMVOX2 quick, actually which represents a major challenge in both techniques and design of the terms. In a first phase, the engineers focused on miniaturization of each part of the transponder to reduce

Need feedback on this ceramic diver
HiMy first post here. Been reading the forum for quite a while though. Lots of good info on AP's.I'm looking to buy a ceramic diver and I have narrowed my search down to this one. As you can just about see there are some marks on the edge of the bezel at 6 o'clock. What do you think about this? Do you have anything similar on you ceramic bezel AP's? The seller says that the marks are tiny and barely noticeable. I live far away from the seller, so I'm not able to take a look myself.

What constitutes "vintage"?
Hello everyone here at TRF! Lately I've been reading a lot about the high costs and lengthy service times that accompany a Patek timepiece. Although costly and requiring an exorbitant amount of time to service no matter what, there seems to be and even more significant commitment when dealing with a timepiece that is considered vintage. In one instance, I remember reading someone with a vintage piece being told to expect a 4 year turn-around and a five-figure bill when all was said and done. Ouch!So, my question becomes when does a watch become vintage and therefore subject to these. higher servicing costs? Is it merely a matter of age (i.e. Pieces older than 20, 30, etc. years)? Is it a function of whether the piece remains in production? Or is it something else entirely?Obviously these types of things factor into my decision to keep my pieces or perhaps trade them at some point down the line. Afterall, I am fine with (but not happy about) waiting 6 months for a service and ge

5167A with brown rubber strap?
G'day everyone.. Just wondering anyone tried using 5167R's brown rubber strap on a 5167A? I am thinking about it but I am not sure how it will look. The center of the dial on the ss looks a tad of brown in certain angle in different lighting so I wonder.. Thank you very much for your kind feedbacks. Cheers! .. Jennifer
