AP Royal Concept GMT vs Richard Mille 011-02
At this moment these two might be a little bit out of reach but it is something i can start saving for during the 1st half of 2018. Until recently, I was not a big fan of RM but they have grown on me. I have always liked AP and own 3-- the ROO chrono, 15407 and RO Chromo-Pride of Italy. i do not own a tourbillon and the AP tourbillons have turned me on for some time. I am just starting to ponder perhaps a future purchase. I would even consider trading in my ROO chrono as I do not wear that one as often as the others. In terms of RM === there are a lot to choose from and I mention the RM011-02 as one I am attracted to. I prefer titanium to ceramic in both the AP and RM models I would consider. Appreciate any comments.

New AP in the house!
I purchased a diver last year and having always wanted a ROO, I got rid of a piece or two that was getting no wear and started looking around. I had a Safari for a short time a couple years ago. Beautiful watch but at the time not for me. Anyway when AP released the new 44's last year I was immediately drawn to them . At first glance the SS was my choice. Having not tried them on do to no AD in my town, and lack of stock when I was able to stop in AD's while traveling, I became convinced through looking at pics only that the forged carbon was the one I would get. It had the cool factor for sure. A few weeks ago I was in Vegas and a couple of the ADs had the forged carbon in stock. I tried it on a few times. Liked it but didn't love it. The third AD had both the SS and the FC in stock, and as soon as I put the SS on I knew that was the watch. It just popped on all levels. The contrasts and level of detail on this piece is absolutely amazing. I came home and went about the business of fi

Production Year?
Is there anyway to tell what year your movement/case was produced? I know Patek has the information in their books..and will give it to you for CHF 100...Obviously you can narrow the years down to when they made a watch, and any changes within line, but is there a way to figure out the birthday of your watch without payig for the history of the watch?I couldn't find an answer from a quick search.Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day Weekend
