You're Invited: A Special Preview Of 'The Luxury Of Time: European Clocks And Watches' E
It gives us great pleasure to say that we are able to offer, courtesy of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a limited number of invitations to an upcoming exhibition showcasing some of the most unusual, valuable, and remarkably beautiful timepieces ever made. "The Luxury of Time: European Clocks and Watches" preview will be held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art this Thursday, November 19th at 6:30 p.m. There will be a host of amazing, very rare and extremely historically important clocks and watches on hand, and the exhibition is being co-curated by the Met's Mrs. Clare Vincent, a 40-year veteran of the Met, and Associate Research Curator Ms. Elizabeth Sullivan.These are just a few examples of the treasures from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection. Above is a stunning clockwork celestial globe, made in Vienna in around 1579; like many of the clocks and watches in the exhibition this was a gift from J. Pierpont Morgan (in this case the gift was given in 1917).

Complementary pressure testing by AP
I was reading on the AP site that they do Pressure testing at no charge for all AP owners.... is there any conditions to this? is it like a car and have to take your service books to prove its beenserviced by them at the regular intervals etc...?Does it only apply to the original purchaser?cheers

OT: Omega Speedmaster...
Would love to ask the Rolex community here what your thoughts are on the Omega Speedmaster Pro...I've done a bit of research, lurked in the omega forums, etc. I was looking at the: 311.30 until I found a writeup someone wrote with some pretty negative comments about the 3313 co-axial movement. I guess the other two options (excluding all the limited edition variants) are:3570.50 - hesalite3573.50 - sapphireBut as someone who's new to Omegas, I would love to hear your thoughts / impressions / experiences with any of the above models. I'm posting it here because - if the folks here give it a thumbs up, I'm pretty sure I'll be happy with the watch. That's how much I trust everyone's opinion. :-)Thanks!p.s. obligatory pic attached.

What do you think of Aquanaut models?
My interest being new to Patek Philippe as some already know, and my tastes being mostly in sporty/dressy watches, I look at Nautilus and Aquanaut models, but have to say don't think I would buy an Aquanaut, sure it's a nice watch but seems very basic in design, when the Nautilus has a very original, a little bit 70's style but cool enough to be actual.I think if I do get one day a PP I will prefer to flip a few watches that I don't wear anymore, add a few thousand and get a Nautilus, they have much more appeal to me, I understand if someone prefers the Aquanauts but in my case the preference goes clearly to the Gerald Genta designed cases.What do Patek fans think about these watches?
