SIHH 2011 Recap: Safe Bet For the Watch World
SIHH 2011 is an event I almost did not attend �� but I am glad that I did. The story of my journey to this year's invite-only International Salon of Haute Horology is however, another story. The expansive halls of world's ��other' most important watch show are a temple of luxury and industry chimes �� you learn a lot by being there and listening, as well as seeing. Together, almost 20 brands that represent all of the Richemont and a few other accompanying high-end watch makers get together to show off their new products for 2011. For those attending, it is an annual pilgrimage, and for those who cannot enter, it is an enviable place to be invited.I'd like to first make a personal statement about being at the event �� I love it. While at home in California I write about watches from the seclusion of my home. I don't have an industry to surround myself with like those who live in Europe. Being at SIHH allows me to live my work. In addition to being in the element that I write about and see

26400so discontinued?
Hi everyone, I saw some chamaleon was released at SIHH. I also read the 26400so has been discontinued, is this right? I think it's the best looking watch with the panda dial, and might even consider selling my daytona for one

INCOMING!! - The amazing new Offshore Ceramic Anthracite dial!!
Hi Guys,Extremely pleased with my new obsession... the super cool, super sexy AP ROO Ceramic with Anthracite dial. This is a watch I have been drooling over ever since I first saw the release pictures back in 2014. The pricing though always left me debating whether I should go for RG instead. Anyways, I am so glad I went with my heart cause this watch is not only beautiful to look at, but is also extremely comfortable to wear as a daily.I have already owned the SS 44, FC 44 and the ceramic diver earlier and the finish on the ceramic casing is impeccable, but what really gets me about this watch is the quality of the dial which in my modest opinion has to be one of the best out there.I will let the pictures do the talking.Cheers,Abner

Help needed!
I'm new to this forum having mainly owned rolex over the years but, finally made the plunge in to AP ownership!Just became proud owner of roo diver, bought 2nd hand from chrono 24, imported from a private seller in France. Although I've no doubts about the watch itself, it's the paper work I'm concerned about having bought with box and paper work. It comes with both boxes and 2 booklets, I'm concerned about the booklets, instruction for use is for calibre 2326/2840 not 3210(is it a generic booklet) and the warranty and authentication booklet has no reference numbers(left blank)in it relating to my watch, is this normal? What paper work should come with the watch?Many thanks in advance!!!!

AQUANAUT COMFORT 5167 vs 5164
Hey mates - I'm looking at adding a 5164 to my collection after giving my 5167 away and despite the larger size, was interested in comments regarding the comfort level of the 5164. Is it as comfortable as the 5167 on rubber ? What about water proofness ? Anyone swim with theirs given the pushers on the 5164 ? Thanks for the feedback !
