AP Millenary Carbon One Tourbillon Chronograph
Audemars Piguet’s new Millenary Carbon One is a technical wonder. The case is forged carbon, an ultra-light material developed by AP. The middle section of the case is created by placing a set of threaded carbon filaments inside a mold. The wire, measuring one millimeter in diameter, is itself composed of several thousand 7-micron carbon fibers held together by a resin wire. Placed end to end, these filaments are equivalent to 22.7 meters of carbon wire and 102.2 km of carbon fibers. The mold is then compressed at high temperature at pressures of over 300 kilos per square centimeter. This process results in a material composed of 76% carbon and 24% polyamide. The hardness of 626 Vickers can be compared with the 420 Vickers score for alacrite, another highly resistant material. The case middle and lugs are made all of a piece. The bezel, crown and pushers are in ceramics. The high-tech materials and manufacturing techniques result in a very light timepiece indeed: the Millenary Ca

Finally I did it too
My first Patek. Aquanaut 5167. What a wonderful and comfy watch! It is a ding magnet though! I'd call it a ghost watch as you can barely feel it on your wrist. My first Patek, but I don't think it will be my last.

Waterproof Leather strap for sea diving???
I am looking for a strap for water and day wear, I am going to live in Thailand in a few months so heat, transpiration and swimming will be permanent. I don't like very much the feel of the original Panerai rubber strap on my wrist, nato's are nice but I prefer way more leather straps. There are a few strapmakers that have for sale leather waterproof straps, has anyone already used these straps for this kind of use, for example in places like Florida or others?What are the result, does the strap hold the distance or are they just a little more resistant than a good aftermarket leather strap but no more?Thanks for sharing your experiences about this, I have found a few but the ones from good strapmakers are not cheap, between 180-240 dollars, would hate to spend that kind of money if it only lasts for a few months.

Datejust model enquiry
Hi All,Seeking help from the knowledge base here. Friend of mine inherited the Datejust in the picture but he has never seen this kind of two tone model before. Does anyone know what the model number is, or any other details? Thanks in advance. IMG_3175.JPGSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
