Clerc Hydroscaph Limited Edition Chronograph Watches
This year sees three versions of the Clerc Hydroscaph Limited Edition Chronograph watch. This unique piece is attractive as well as functional. Clerc uses a special movement that offers a full 12 hour chronograph with just two subdials. Rather than have two hands in one of the subdials, the main dial is used to measure both the chronograph seconds and the minutes. Wearing them I find the pieces to be extremely cool probably one of Clerc's best creations thus far.The Calibre C608 automatic movement is exclusively made for Clerc. I find the layout of it very enticing as it adds to the dial aesthetic as well as making the chronograph easier to read. I do want to say that this Clerc dial has been cleaned up some and the result is quite elegant. The design is almost artful in its approach to making a watch face more visually interesting. Legibility is maintained, and I love the hands - on all versions they stick out so well.Note how the chronograph pushers have been designed, they look like

Couple questions about AP
About to buy my first AP from a grey dealer. It's a 15400I have been sent me pictures of the warranty, etc, but I just want to make sure they are valid for the actual watch. So my questions are:1. What format should the Warranty Number be in? 3000-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX? Or XXXXXX.XXXX? I've seen both on the classified forum associated with 15400s for sale so I'm a bit confused.2. What format should the Movement Number be in? 2 letters followed by 4 numbers or 6 numbers?3. I've read on here that the warranty isn't transferable to a new owner if the watch has been registered. Is that correct and if so, how do I find out if it's been registered?Thank you so much for this information, as I am new to the brand I just want to make sure I know what I'm doing.

Recent delivery of 5711 in the U.S.?
Hi,Has anyone taken a delivery of 5711 steel, either blue or white dial, during the last few weeks in the U.S.? I am on the waitlist for both dials (preference for white) at 2 ADs and apparently they have not been given a white dial since March. Typically, both of them receive 3 white dials in a year. However, they are yet to receive their remaining 2 white dials for the year. It seems that Patek has really dried up 5711s in the U.S. Just checking whether it is a more widespread phenomenon. Thanks

Simona Stitchless Horn Back Gator Review
Picked up this strap yesterday from a great seller here, so I thought I'd share my thoughts on it and post some pictures for you all.I wanted to try out this strap because it was something different; I've never tried a stitchless strap before. In my opinion this strap is a pretty casual gator. I was surprised at how well it is made and how soft it is initially. It's definitely a thicker strap, and feels great on the wrist. Overall, I'm really enjoying this strap.
