Thoughts on the MMT Swiss Horological Smartwatch Platform
I'll admit that when I saw that Frederique Constant was announcing a smart watch platform, I was dubious of what they might show. This has nothing to with FC specifically, I quite like the brand in fact, but more that a brand with a fairly classical approach to watch making, a brand without any tech to show, not even a digital watch in their current line up let alone anything with software, was delving into "smart territory" just seemed off. I thought to myself, how on Earth is this Swiss brand going to make something competitive, something more than a momentarily news worthy item that would quickly be overshadowed by Apple or just forgotten as a novelty (remember that Gilt Smart Watch?..), a misguided detour in territory they didn't belong.Well, what they presented was extremely surprising in many ways and ?intriguing; The MMT (Manufacture Modules Technologies) Swiss Horological Smartwatch platform… Which actually is a company as well as technology, but more on the former later.

Question re AP Royal Oak
Does anyone know the main differences between these two AP models:14790ST15300STI like that white dial!I am looking at adding a RO to my collection and saw the 14790ST at what seems a fair price. I looked at AP's official website and it seems it's discontinued. Any input will be greatly appreciated.Cheers,Adrian

Navitimer 01 or Transocean chronograph?
I am looking at getting my hands on a new watch in the next few months.Already have a Rolex Sea Dweller ( 2008, last of the non fatboys!). The watch is not a fashion purchase but in effect a memorial / personal reminder. Our father passed away recently and so my Sister and I intend to buy a watch each, She is after a Ladies Rolex,myself,and now the crux of the Post a Brietling ( maybe!!). Torn between the Navitimer and the Superocean Chrono . I know very little about Breitling, but I am after a Pilots watch. The Rolex covers my current career the Pilots watch an earlier life milestone. I know this will be a personal choice but any wise words regards depreciation , reliability etc . I love the leather strap but believe they fail more frequently than one would like and are silly money to replace !I do like the Rolex GMT bimetallic but is that just too similar to the SD ( I know , it's different but the Rolex gene is strong)Your thoughts?Any ideas as to what discounts UK AD's are doing?

Thoughts on trading 114060 for SD43?
Hey everyone-Been tossing this idea around in my head as to whether or not it's worth trading in my 114060 for a SD43. Right now my Sub is my one and only and my daily wearer. Not sure if it's just the chase but I can't stop looking up pictures of the SD43 and it's perfect proportions. Things I like about the SD43 are the increased wrist presence, the date and the better proportions. However, it's obviously quite a bit more expensive (roughly twice the price I'm guessing based on what I'd get for my trade and what the price point for the SD43 currently is. I was able to try on a SD43 a few months ago and remember thinking how much thicker it was than the Sub. Anyways, just wanted to see what everyone's thoughts were who may have done this already.

16610LV Price Questions
Evening Team,I'm keen on this watch, and would be grateful to hear from LV owners and others what they think is a good price in the current market. I ask because, according to Chrono24 and Watchrecon, they retail for anything between $8-25k, with the average being around the $10-11k mark. I note that later M models can be picked up for around $15k new and unworn, and earlier models (including Flat Four models) can be found for $17-25k unworn. What with the SS Sky Dweller being a difficult watch to find, I'm debating the merits of parking that one for a time and getting the LV instead. They are much easier to find, and completely fabulous.For a watch with box and papers in mint condition, what is the most you'd pay? Would you pay more and get one new and unworn?I intend to keep it, and would look after it.Best,TA
