IWC Aquatimer Watches For 2014: Charles Darwin, Galapagos Islands, Bronze, The Deep Three, And A Perpetual Calendar
Less than two weeks ago, we brought you a?sneak peak at IWC's handsome new Aquatimer dive watch collection for 2014. We recommend checking that post for a bit of extra information, as well as for context on how IWC has been releasing new models and for some history behind their well-regarded Aquatimer dive watch. Even though the SIHH 2014 trade show isn't for another couple of weeks, we have new, interesting information that will help you make sense of the entire range of IWC Aquatimer models for the new year. We don't have pictures of everything (yet), but we will tell you what you need to know until we can follow-up with a full hands-on post after the show later in January.IWC's tactics of late remain true into 2014. There is less focus on movements, and more on cases, dials, and overall collection designs. In fact, IWC probably has enough movements right now and is probably working on tweaking their existing family of calibers versus trying to make new movements. In our previous pos

I did not listen to advice on this forum....
Hello AP lovers and fans.I would like to firstly offer my apology for not listening to the advice given on this forum.I read the posting at the top of all listings - warning about buying a pre-owned AP.I am sorry - but I am not of the means to afford a brand new AP.I also wanted the 14790ST - the 36mm being the best size for me. (at least I could afford it after selling a few watches - Rolex Explorer II, Omega Speedie and Breitling SuperOcean.I started the hunt and turned up a lovely piece on Timezone being sold by a really nice watch enthusiast. He wanted high money for the piece (about $6000-) but it had been recently serviced by an ex-AP service repair watch maker.I paid for the watch and received it after the usual shipping delays.The watch was beautiful.After a few weeks - I noticed the watch was sometimes stopping before midnight.The seller sent me the photocopy of the service receipt. He definitely did service the piece.I took it to my trusted watch maker.... he told me the f

Ap roo-rgrc
Hi everyone, I'm from Singapore and this is my first post.I just bought the AP ROO RGRC last week from the local AP dealer and I love it to death. This is my 3rd AP ROO. I had the themes(got rid of it), bumble bee and now the RGRC. I have always wanted the RGRC and finally have it on my hands now. :) AP has done a wonderful job with the updated version, love the darker face and gold rings around the subchronos. I also went down to the AP svc centre and changed to the hornback leather strap in rose gold stitching. I think it's an upgrade thats worth every cent. Sorry but I'm just not a big fan of the rubber strap on the rose gold at least.

X-33 with Naval Aviator Connection
This is my Friends X-33 that he purchased while flying F-18's for the Sunliners squadron out of NAS Oceana...Omega did all the work in house and the cost to the pilots was $600 when the retail was $3000..Sorry for the quick and dirty Pics...

Omega PO versus Rolex Submariner
If you own both, do you favor one or the other? The PO has better lume, I realize, and the new co-axial escapement is a nice innovation too. How does the PO compare to Rolex in the way it feels on the wrist, i.e., is one heavier or bulkier than the other? Do you like both after wearing them or wind up heavily favoring one over the other? I am just wondering because I am considering both of these models--I hope it works out this summer. They are both great brands, great models, I think, but was wondering about your experiences. Thanks in advance.
