Tough and Transparent: Richard Mille Tourbillon RM 56-02 Sapphire
Richard Mille pioneered the use of an all-sapphire watch case with its RM 056 Sapphire Tourbillon Split Seconds Chronograph in 2011, and upped the technological ante with the subsequent debut of the RM 56-01, which also had baseplates, bridges and a third wheel made of sapphire. Last year saw the debut of another innovation, the Richard Mille Tourbillon RM 56-02 Sapphire, which combines a tripartite sapphire case with the brand’s revolutionary “cabled movement” design.The movement architecture used in the Richard Mille Tourbillon RM 56-02 Sapphire takes its cues from the movement in another Richard Mille watch, the RM 27-01 Rafael Nadal, developed with the input of the Spanish tennis star. The baseplate of the RM 56-02 movement is made of tough but lightweight titanium and suspended within the all-sapphire case by means of a single-braided cable only .35 mm thick. The movement uses a system of four pulleys on posts at its corners and another six pulleys along its peri

Novel Omega Olympics Speedmaster Watch Is Charming: Five Counters And Classically Styled
Omega has been in bed with the Olympics committee for a long time, being the "official time keeper" for most of the events. What this basically means is that Omega gets to put their name on the clocks and such that time events. But it is possible that Omega is actually making some of these time keepers, most of which are digital these days and rely on sensors, rather than human hands for operation.Having said that, the opportunity for Omega to release special Olympics event watches is too tempting to resist, and this time around, they have something really special. Despite the thick layer of controversy which exists atop this year's Summer Olympics, Omega is able to provide a truly charming timepiece in commemoration of the event. Surely to become a collectors item as the watch so gracefully combines the five ring Olympian logo with chronograph functionality that the Omega Speedmaster is know for. Of course, not settling there, Omega had to fill each ring with a different function. So

ROC full rose gold new blue dial or ROC Leo Messi rose gold?
Hi guys. So a while back I decided that my next watch was going to be a rose gold chrono and I love the royal oak. So I narrowed my options to two great watches. I need some help from the RF guys with AP expertise to help me decide.these are the options:1. Full rose gold Royal Oak Chrono with the new blue dial.2. Rose Gold and Tantalum Royal Oak Leo Messi I love both these watches and obviously my immediate instinct was go with the Messi. Simple because its more rare and special, and its also slightly less pricey. Other advantages are its not as flashy.. which is like. However I'm hesitant simply because, in the watch collecting world, and I mean serious watch collectors... is it a plus to have a athlete limited edition watch? I dont know. Do hardcore AP collectors consider this watch as a more serious watch in comparison to the normal rose gold chrono with leather strap?( which is thousands of dollars cheaper)... Do you guys think it will hold value in comparison to the regular model

First PP
A huge thank you to Ken HL65, Benlee for all his fabulous photos, Snipermaverick, kittayos and WhatTheDeuce for all of their advice! Most will not even remember me as I talked to them early in this journey, which started in 2014. I have been looking for this watch since then but was unable to even see one in person until a month ago when my nearest AD got one in. Tried it on and loved everything about it but was not sure of the thickness. Came back home to mull over it and realized I just LOVE this watch. It was the same time that yessir69 posted that his AD was losing PP and found out they had this watch in stock. Long story short, I had them order a deployant clasp and ship it to me and here it is!For the OCD members out there- yes, I still have not set the moon phase yet, I am sorry!!

SubC Bezel Alignment
Anyone else have a bezel that appears off and either aligns 1/4 second to the left or 1/4 second to the right of the 12 o'clock position? I did several google searches and it seems like a pretty common issue. Every search I found pretty much said the same thing that it's a much more in-depth undertaking than just popping off the bezel, which I won't get into.It finally wore on me enough that I took it in to an AD today expecting to be missing it for a while. The watchmaker did confirm that the in-depth protocol is accurate. He said he could do it in-house, but he did suggest them sending it to Rolex after I expressed my concern of the open case and movement not being a dust-free environment, which he said he agreed with. However, he did recommend applying a small amount of clockwise pressure to the bezel because it's often one or more of the four click springs doesn't get set deep enough in the teeth/ratchet/gear/whatever. I'm not a technical guy so I'm ad libbing. Either way, I
