Anybody into AP Royal Oaks?
I recently got to see a Rubber Clad and it was simply stunning. At first I thought that it was weird that a company would use rubber for a bezel, but it really works. There is one issue I have with using rubber though and thats how long will it last. The down side to the watch if the bezel doesnt last is the price of AP parts

Say hello to my new Planet Ocean
Hi guys... I have never purchased a watch over $500 until this year when I got my Daytona and now less than a month later I picked this up. You guys have started a sickness! This is from a local AD that was going out of business so I couldn't let it go at the price offered. It was about 33% off from the 2007 prices so really way over 40% off of the current retail.Excellent box and papers:This things also can be used as a home security device: If someone breaks into your house you can throw it at them and knock them out cold!!!!!Lousy wrist shots.... regular point and shoot cameras can't take pictures of watches......I haven't even worn it out of the house yet. I think I'll wear the Daytona for 6 months and wait for this one to start begging to be worn before I give in. Then I'll open the box and have that brand new watch smell all over again!

Ferrari and Patek
I'm kind of curious about the relationship between Ferrari and Patek. I was at the AD the other day getting familiar with setting the moon phase and the technician was telling me how Ferrari and Patek were discussing creating a watch for Ferrari but the negotiations fell through.He was saying that normally sub-dials are in the 3,6,9 position but Ferrari wanted the dials to look like their dashboard. So, Patek designed the Nautilus 5712 to Ferrari's request. Then things went south and their relationship soured. Since PP had the movement they decided to sell the 5712. Now I have absolutely no proof of this and neither did the technician but the dash of my 360 does look like the sub-dials of the 5712. Can any of you confirm whether this is true?

Do any of you allow friends or colleagues to handle your Rolex?
Hello.. For the first time ever I wore my SubC to a conference at work today. Colleagues immediately noticed my watch. I received plenty of compliments on my watch. I was even asked a couple of times by people that I consider to be friends to take my watch off so that they could take a closer look at it. Do any of you allow colleagues or friends to handle your Rolex?
