Introducing: The World's First Fully Functional 3D Printed Watch: The Christoph Laimer Tourbillo
It was an unseasonably warm Saturday afternoon in Brooklyn, and I was walking my dog when my phone buzzed with a text message from a friend, containing only a link to something on Thingiverse (a 3D printing file-sharing site). I opened the link and my jaw dropped; I was looking at a 3D printed tourbillon watch running by itself, built by Christoph Laimer, a Swiss engineer. This is an actual watch, with a tourbillon, that is almost entirely 3D printed. Think about it: the tourbillon – a 200+ year old invention designed by one of the greatest watchmakers to ever live, which for most of its history has been practically synonymous with hand-craftsmanship and high end watchmaking, has been produced in a working watch with a 3D printer.  You can wind it, set the time, and carry it with you. Sure, it's a bit large (a pocket watch, not a wristwatch, and they'd need to be good sized pockets to boot) not very accurate, and only runs for about 30 minutes

Tried registering my pre-owned AP on the website.
Hi fellow AP owners.I just picked up my first AP (ROO Safari)....and I must say it is a stunner.My question:I tried using the serial number and warranty number to register the watch with AP. The site keeps telling me that the data is incorrect. The only thing I can think of is that the original owner registered it already and thus it won't allow me to register. Does anyone have any ideas?Thanks in advance.

JV or Nubuck Alligator
Are these the same thing?Looking for a Nubuck Gator. I think they are called JVs. Also any non OEM manufactures that aremaking them. Joe

A little consolidating and an incoming
I've always wanted a full PM piece so after a long while of debating, researching, trying on different options and some nice encouragement from my wife I consolidated two pieces and ended up with the following I'm over the moon with it and glad I went for the yellow gold. I debated forever between yellow gold and the white gold sub as I have never worn any yellow gold before and am typically very low key. The brushed surfaces give it a great look and my wife is very happy with my choice (she has a 116613lb as a gift from me that she wears daily). I've trimmed down to 2 watches now and I'm very happy with the results: this 116618lb and a Patek 5167a. The two watches are polar opposites and pretty much cover all the bases for me. Very happy to have joined this club. Now, onto more pictures of the watch and a bunch of others that I tried on in the process. And a tray full of gorgeous DD40's just because. Cheers!
