Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar in Yellow Gold (Updated with Live Photo & Price)
At SIHH 2016 in January, Audemars Piguet has gone for what many would consider old-school horological luxury �� releasing a new version of its Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar in classical yellow gold.Why yellow gold, you might ask �� a material that has in recent years fallen out of vogue in the watch aficionado community. Audemars Piguet, whose motto “To break the rules, you must first master them” is on bold display here, refers to it as luxury watchmaking’s “most elemental material… the universal emblem of indestructible beauty, energy and light… symboliz[ing] wealth and power.” Like the most recent models of the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar, in steel and rose gold (and more on which can be discovered here), this watch has a 41-mm case in the classical octagonal style of the Royal Oak collection and featuring a clear, glareproof sapphire caseback. It has a screw-locked crown, ensuring water-resistance of 20 meters.The au courant b

New Glash��tte Original Senator Perpetual Calendar
Glash��tte Original is offering a new version of their Senator Perpetual Calendar in red gold with a matte black dial on a rubber strap. The dial features high-contrast white Roman numerals and a white minute ring for excellent legibility. The perpetual calendar displays are clear and logical, and the oversize panorama date is a paradigm of clarity. Find wallpaper and pricing inside. The leap year display is discreet yet unambiguous.

MB&F HM5 "On The Road Again" Watch
Say hello to the MB&F HM5 watch. The 5th model in the Horological Machine family comes about two years after the release of the MB&F HM4 (hands-on here), and is actually the high-end boutique watch brand's most affordable watch ever. Max Busser of MB&F continues to assert his youth and the inspiration that formed his tastes in a watch that is not only motivated by an era, but also directly inspired by some of its most iconic creations.Last year while waiting for a new Horological Machine model we were greeted with the Legacy Machine Number 1. We now know that MB&F will stagger new HM and LM models each year - at least for the time being. So HM5 this year and LM2 next year. Inspired by "driver" and LED watches from the 1970s, the HM5 is nicknamed "On The Road Again." This isn't just because it is based on watches meant to be worn while driving, but also because the design of the case is meant to look like a sweeping fastback with rear window slits of cars like the iconic

26320 Chronograph Seconds Hand Running Fast
Hi,I picked up a new 26320 from an AP boutique this weekend, and I've noticed that the chronograph seconds hand is running faster than the running seconds at 6 o'clock. After 30 minutes of running the chronograph, the chrono hand has gained 5 seconds over the running seconds hand. This time was gained evenly over the 30 minute period.Has anyone seen this before?Thanks!

Waterproof strap for radiomir?
I have started looking at the radiomir cased Panerais with the wire lugs and have a simple question. Are there waterproof straps available for them? I am not going to dive with it, but I do like to have a strap that can take anything. Leather is out of the question. Rubber would be fine, I use that on my 176. But some other material that you don't need to dry if it gets wet would also be fine, maybe nylon? I guess they all take 26mm straps? I googled it but it seems that I could only find straps for springbars, will they also be usable with the wire lugs? I assume you loosen the screws on the backside, slide the wires out, and then remove the wires somehow from the strap?
