HYT H2 Aviator Watch
Some people just don't get HYT watches. They struggle with reading the time from the "fluidic" hour indicator. For some, the new HYT H2 Aviator will make little sense, because aviation watches are traditionally the most legible and uncluttered of all. But this is not a pilot's watch: this is a modern timepiece that draws inspiration from a design code that, thanks to its fundamental simplicity, is open to interpretation.The HYT H2 Aviator is a dressed-up version of the HYT H2, in the same way that the HYT H1 Air, released earlier this year (check out the review here), is a version of the H1. We've seen the fluid-filled bellows, angled in a V-shape before; we expected the prominent balance and balance bridge to ornament the dial at 12; we could have staked our lives on the yellow/green liquid that encircles the dial making an appearance. What we maybe didn't see coming was the complete redesign of the minute hand, the addition of large, legible numbers to the face of the watch (on a flo

Romain Jerome Titanic DNA Tourbillon Steampunk Ala Grande Limited Edition Watch
The newest Titanic DNA watch from Romain Jerome expressly indicates what it is, "Steampunk." Instead of just hinting at the idea and playing with the concept, this watch has "Steampunk" in the name, and fashions the watch as such. Granted, a lot of the steampunk appointments of the watch are for show only, it still looks pretty cool. The watch starts with an RJ 2 automatic tourbillon movement that has a very cool anchor shaped rotor. The movement is made by Concepto for Romain Jerome and is a new level of luxury being a tourbillon movement that is self-winding.The Tourbillon Steampunk Ala Grande is 50mm wide with a case that is made of steel (rusted, satin finished, and polished), titanium, and rubber. The case makes rich use of rivets, 80 of them that are hand applied all over the bezel (meant to look like old-timey boiler room equipment), as well as the iconic six sided screws in the case that are attached to the polished steel "claws." In addition to steel, the claws are available i

Wants to buy used 15202ST. Need guidance
Hi All, I'm new to the forum. Hoping you guys could help answer my questions. I stumbled upon this beauty (can't post image yet) last week as I was recommended by a friend and I'm really interested to buy the watch. I found huge scratch on the bracelets. Hoping I can find some answers here in the forum. 1. Is it good idea to polish 15202ST? Do you think it will lower its price value significantly? I know that some brands should NOT be polished at all, but I don't know much about AP. 2. Instead of polishing, is there any other solution? Is it possible to just replace that 1 plate of the bracelet? I don't mind a few dents here and there, but that scratch really bothers me. 3. Is it possible to replace the bracelet altogether? Will it affect it's values somehow? 4. Regarding the warranty, I was told that its 2 years warranty had recently expired just a couple of weeks ago. As far as I know, AP has 3 years warranty. Is this 3 years warranty new for certain models? The AP 15202ST was first

Beater or Project? Help with a 105.012-65
So I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised by what I arrived. It was billed at as a Speedy Reduced, and had awful pictures, but I figured it was worth a roll once I learned it was a 105.012-65 with a c.321. Plus, the added bonus, it came with a mint 1499/842 bracelet that once I resell, should get my cost basis very low.Yes, it has issues, some will be easy to correct, and some will take time, but overall, it has a pleasing look, and runs like a champ and the movement is buttery smooth.First things first, the movement is a 24,00x,xxx serial cal.321 that is appropriate for the 105.012-65 case, so I don't think it is a franken. The case back has 4 service marks, and based on the lines of the case and 50 years, it has seen numerous polishes, and will most likely need someone to reshape if possible, but I am planning on leaving it as-is for the moment. The case back has no seamonster engraving left.The dial, per Speedmaster 101, is the incorrect, yet factory, early painted logo c.
