Piaget Polo Tourbillon Relatif Paris Watch: Unexpected Beauty With Intricate Architectural Etchings
Normally the introduction of yet another new Tourbillon would not be cause for announcement by me. Sure I have great appreciation for the complication, but in my opinion they are grossly over-priced and over lauded. On the other hand, when a tourbillon complication is tastefully incorporated in to a beautiful watch, it is worth noting. New for SIHH 2008, Piaget presents the Polo Tourbillon Relatif Paris. An absolute tribute to city of Paris.The face of the Piaget Polo Tourbillon Relatif Paris is of remarkable interest. Use of contrasting black and white colors (a favorite of mine) results in a patterned look of attention grabbing proportions. The tourbillon is integrated into what looks to be the hour hand; meaning that while the tourbillon itself revolves on its axis once each 60 seconds, the entire tourbillon mechanism travels around the watch as the hour hand.

AP vorPatek
I currently have a Sea Dweller 116600 as my daily wearer, and I'm in the market for two watches to give me a rounded collection:(1) AP Royal Oak or Patek 5711(2) Vintage Rolex Submariner 5513 (for classic occasions)I have some very specific demands of the 5513 so I'm preparing myself for a long search (years rather than months), so my priority is the AP or PP.I have small wrists (which suits both watches, probably a 36mm or 37mm AP) and I prefer Steel to precious metals (which is lucky given my budget!).Previously I have mainly bought new, but for this I will be looking at the used market due to my budget.To look at, I slightly prefer the Patek but only very slightly. I could stretch to the Patek (although it makes my life a lot easier not to) but only if it is justified.So my question is (finally), how does an AP Royal Oak (15450 for example) compare to a Patek Nautilus (5711 for example) in terms of quality. There is a pretty significant difference in price, so I assume the Patek mus

Battle: BLNR (Batman) or BLRO (SS Pepsi)
Surprised this poll doesn't currently exist here -- if it does -- I offer my apologies. Here it is short and sweet. If both watches were available today, you own neither and can only have one (i.e. by buying one, you forfeit the right to buy the other), which one would you choose? While everyone has their own criteria, here are some to consider: Exclusivity: The esteem of getting the watch.Movement: 3285 (BLRO SS) vs. 3186 (BLNR)Heritage: BLRO's long heritage, but BLNR is the first of its kind. Bracelet: Jubilee vs. OysterBezel: Color preferenceCase: The supposed update in BLRO's caseValue retention/appreciation: Short-term and long-term value.

To buy or not to buy.. rolex 16710 pepsi with 3186 movement
I am new here and new to the watch world. I have been offered a rolex 167100 pepsi with 3186 movement (serial number m3). The seller said he had some polishing done to the watch, which make me question whether i should buy the watch or not.Or should i wait for an unpolished with a z9 serial. Greatly appreciate all the commentsSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
