Introducing: The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon Extra-Thin Openworked, Now In Yellow Gold
Back at SIHH 2012, Audemars Piguet released the Royal Oak Tourbillon Extra-Thin Openworked in platinum. This watch was an instant high-end hit and people (especially people here at HODINKEE) loved it. So you can imagine our excitement to see that AP has re-released the Royal Oak Tourbillon Extra-Thin, now in yellow gold. 1 OF 2 As you may know, Audemars Piguet is known for their openworked watches and the great amount of craftsmanship that goes into each piece is incredible. The first skeletonized AP was created around 1921 (a pocket watch with skeletonized dial) and the first skeletonized Royal Oak was made in 1986 (1993 for the first skeletonized women’s Royal Oak), so they have had plenty of time to perfect the technique. ADVERTISEMENT Just like the original Extra-Thin Tourbillon Openworked, the caliber 2924 movement (which was brand new back in 2012, celebrating 40 years of Royal Oak) is used in the new yellow-gold piece.

A Question for Canadians
Hello All--I am looking to purchase my first watch internationally and have narrowed my choices down to an Omega Seamaster SMP 2254, Planet Ocean 2200.50, or Rolex Sub. Okay so here's my question directed to Canadians, or those whom can provide some insight:What were the costs incurred (if any) for importing these timepieces into Canada? How exactly are these costs broken down? And as a first time watch buyer, are there any other considerations that should be taken when cross-border buying? BTW, I intend to have them mailed to me, or else I would buy one and wear it back up.Forgive me if this subject has been covered extensively in the past--this is my first day on the forums.

Alaska Project pricing
My AD called about another matter tonight and I asked if he still had any APs in stock. He answered that he did and was willing to discount them even deeper than his regular discount which is usually better than gray market already.I'm really not into limited editions but this is getting very tempting.Fr. John?

Heathrow Rolex Discount?
Hi everyone.This is my first post. I'm sorry if this subject has been brought up, and beaten to death.I'm an American, about to move to the UK. I'll be working for the military, so I'm under the impression I'll be working under Notice 431: Visiting Forces.I'm looking to pick up a Stainless Steel Batman GMT Master II.I've seen other posts here and on other forums hinting that if a person goes to Heathrow, the AD dealers will give a discount equal to the VAT Discount. (Is this just for Terminal 5, or does this apply to all Terminals)I guess people are hinting that they are getting the discount equal to the VAT, and then they are also filling out the VAT 407 form.So, if I'm reading that right, it's a double discount.This seems to good to be true. I'm assuming this loophole, if it ever existed has closed.Please correct me if I'm wrong, as I'd like to know what the truth is.

A very modern Rolex question
If a modern GMT is a Batman, Brusier or Captain America,a modern Sub a Hulk, Smurf or Kermit,a modern Yachtmaster a Yachtie.A modern Milgaus a Millyand a Rolex a Rollie.......What is the average mental age of modern nickname calling Rolex owners, are they secret man babies and should they frequent TRF or Marvelcomics fan boy page
