Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph 44mm full pave with diamondsAt the watch trade show SIHH 2015, Audemars Piguet has quietly released a few extremely loud watches that are full pave diamond-covered versions of various Royal Oak Offshore collection timepieces. While Audemars Piguet has historically been known for purist watch making and traditional design, the brand today is split between offering luxury lifestyle timepieces as well as those rich with Swiss watch making heritage. Those who are mostly interested in the latter will likely scoff at Royal Oak watches in all diamonds, but it is true that Audemars Piguet - especially the Royal Oak Offshore - is an extremely popular watch with individuals who enjoy showing off status and wealth.2015 sees three versions of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore in all diamonds - including a few models with matching full diamond-set bracelets. The watches all emphasize large baguette-cut diamond stones as well as a few versions high

_____________The 2009 NYC GTG Report___ DAY 2 _______(pre-GTG activities)___________FRIDAY - May 15th 2009Day 2 started relatively early. Janos and I had a meeting with folks at Henri Stern Watch Agency (Patek USA) at 10:30 AMIn one word - this visit was 'AMAZING" and I will dedicate a separate thread with many pictures dedicated to this event. In short - we were given a grand tour of 'every office' and repair room of HSWA by their regional sales manager - Mr. Kevin Unger.After a wonderful lunch to which we were treated by HSWA in a fine Manhattan steakhouse, I was also fortunate to meetthe PP USA president, then later hold in my hands some very rare watches......and was alsoable to play with and try on almost all new models introduced in Basel 2009. What a day for a Patek aficionado like me !!But as I said...more about this wonderful visit later in a special report coming up a few days later.After the HSWA visit it was time to meet with our friends who were here for the main event - t

Another Oval up...
...and although the photos are admirably clear (and knowledgeable collectors will undoubtably know), the seller conveniently neglects to mention that the lugs have been extended (and apparently not evenly): see item # 300629479816. So caveat emptor and all.

Question on Longines
I am a new member and hope to get some help with a Longines watch that I own. I am trying to get an idea of the vintage of the watch along with an estimate of value. It is 14k gold, tank style very similar, if not identical in appearance to a Cartier Tank. It is manual wind. It has a white dial with Roman numerals and reads Longines on top and Swiss on the bottom. The back reads 14k gold. I purchased it about 5 years ago, used on Timezone. I have had it serviced here in the Philadelphia area by a very reputable watch maker and he noted that the watch had a very good movement in it, saying he didn't believe that Longines had used this movement in their watches for some time. He thought it could be 60's - 70's vintage.I am hoping that someone on this Forum could offer some additional insights. Obviously, a picture would be required. I haven't opened the watch for fear that I would do damage. I would be happy to snap a picture of the watch to begin a conversation . Please let m

Hamilton, Invicta
Are the Hamilton and Invicta brands only available in the USA? I have seen a lot of photographs posted on the forum and like quite a few of them. Unfortunately I cannot find anyone who stocks them in the UK. Thanks in advance.
