Found: The Patek Philippe Owned By The Founder Of Coca-Cola, And Other Ultra Cool Pateks Now On Exhi
There is, as we've mentioned elsewhere, and as many collectors know, a very long and rich common history between Patek Philippe and Tiffany, which goes all the way back to 1851, as we've explored elsewhere. It's a remarkable history with a remarkable legacy, with Tiffany-signed Patek Philippes forming a significant group of watches and often commanding a premium at auction over non-Tiffany signed models, thanks to their relative rarity. Patek Philippe and Tiffany have just opened a remarkable exhibit: a selection of unusual and in some cases unique Patek Philippe watches and pocket watches, from the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva. They will be on show at the Tiffany flagship in New York for the next six months or so, and are a must-see for pretty much anyone interested in horology – it's exceedingly unusual for Patek museum collection timepieces to be seen anywhere outside the Patek Philippe Museum.

AP Diver... in it's element!
After reading so many of those is it safe to... regarding our watches, I wanted to know, is is safe to dive a shipwreck with a Diver?dive1.jpgdive2.jpgdive3.jpgChecking the elapsed time...dive4.jpgdive5.jpgThe answer is a resounding YES, and it is SPECTACULAR! dive6.jpgHere after the dive with my son in Cancun, Mexico.

The AP Effect
This is such an interesting and unique brand. Not sure how the general WIS public feels, but AP didn't catch my eye to begin with. It took some time. And I'm a person that generally sees what I like immediately. Now I'm smitten by several models, namely the Diver and 15300. Damn...

Bracelet question - Will It Fit?
Now that my old Omega Seamaster is fixed - I'm turning my attention to an Omega 18mm replacement band. I found one on eBay but does anyone know if an old #608 band with standard end links would fit? I attached a pic if helps.On the Seamaster I have, the lugs are quite thin - like 2mm. Another pic of it is attached. But not sure of the height on the 608 band's end links - will it fit?.

Which would you choose - 5235g or 5170g?
Just wondering as I think both watches are very appealing, and very different at the same time. I don't think one can go wrong with either model, and a lot will come down to personal preference. If you have to choose between the 5235g regulateur or 5170g chronograph, which one would you choose? Curious to see what everyone's thoughts are.
