Girard-Perregaux ww.tc Steel Chronograph
Girard-Perregaux is introducing a new steel version of its popular ww.tc chronograph. Originally launched in 2000, this collection has quickly become one of G-P’s iconic lines. The ww.tc (world wide time control) displays all 24 time zones on its dial. An exclusive coupling mechanism drives the ring displaying 24 cities representing the zones. The hour ring also has a day/night indicator. The ergonomic, satin-finished case measures 43mm in diameter. For this new model, the dial and 24-hour ring have been redesigned, and the baton-style hands are also new. The GP033C0 in-house movement combines chronograph and date functions with world time indication. The automatic movement, visible through a display back, offers a 46 hour power reserve.Customers can select between an elegant black matte alligator strap or a more sporty satin-finish steel bracelet. The USA suggested retail price is $14,650. Complete technical specifications appear below the image.Technical specificationsSteel cas

Anyone plan on buying any new AP 2018 Novelties?
Just wondering... Because I am not planning to, for the first time since I start collecting AP watches 5 years ago, not even one single piece this year interest me. Certainly not those horrid colored divers. ( apologies to those that like them ). Originally was considering the 15202IP but considering the bezel is so easily scratched and after seeing some live pics and video, I changed my mind ( not to mentioned AP probably sold out before I can get one ). I also think they drop the ball big time by failing to release the long overdue inhouse chrono.I got an invitation to preview the novelties in the local Singapore boutique but I don't even feel like going this time.

Christmas and I get ... "The Call"
Earlier today, over a burger lunch, I get a call from an unidentified number. As it turns out, it was from a contact in an AD, who informed me that my 114060 Submariner had arrived. What Sub? was the first thing to come into my head. After all, I was desperately looking for one some weeks back, and after much frantic searching, had to resort to my grey dealer to source for one (and he did me a solid for just $5 above retail!). Anyway, I apparently left my name and number down on a wait list some 7 months back and it was now my turn. So I did what any, responsible, hot blooded male would have done...
