Hands-On: With The Audemars Piguet Openworked Extra-Thin Royal Oak Tourbillon (Pics + Pricing)
2012 was a big year for Audemars Piguet - and if you were one of the 175 people who joined us in celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Royal Oak in NY, you know how seriously they are taking it.This year's SIHH saw several big(ish) announcements - the introduction of the 15400 Royal Oak at 41mm, the new vintage-inpsired dial on the Jumbo, the intro of a super cool ultra-thin tourbillon, and even a ceramic Offshore diver - but the most impressive watch of the 2012 AP SIHH collection, we've yet to show you in detail. We are talking about the Audemars Piguet Openworked Extra-Thin Royal Oak Tourbillon. It is just sick. 2 OF 3 Made of 950 platinum in a 41mm case, this limited edition openworked tourbillon shows you why AP is, among real watch collectors, so revered. It's not because of those Offshores you see at every turn when you're down in Miami (though the development of the Offshore 20 years ago is considered a monumental accomplishment and the subsequen

My first Rolex - nearly in the bag
I'm going to look at a 116610LV (green dial) tomorrow morning. Brand new. ¡ê6050. If I like it as much as I did when I first saw it, I'll buy it. I've been exploring the pre-owned market and the only one I can find is from Watchclub and they're asking so close to the price of a new one, I may as well go the whole hog. I've spoken to watchclub - it's been serviced but not by Rolex. In another 2? years it'll need a service, more ¡ê¡ê¡ê. A new one will be good for 5 years.I feel I'm lucky to find a dealer that's got one in stock. One dealer told me it can take a year to get one in!I figure a price increase must be imminent. When did Rolex last have one? So even at ¡ê6.05k, it'll be a good investment. So, there we are. A done deal - good as .

Remembering my first and celebrating my last Rolex
I was never really into watches or in fact any form of jewellery. My first watch was a birthday gift Timex which I wore as a child for a few months before losing it. The second watch I ever bought was a Longines lady quartz watch for my wife in which to celebrate a new job, she loved it and wore it every day and when I got and even bigger break in 2008 I vowed to get her something more expensive. This was my first introduction to Rolexmmedia/Mobile%20Uploads/22E6DFBC-7CE1-40F6-928B-423D34C224D5_zpswzx6m95s.jpg.html" target="_blank">18months later she persuaded me to get a 116234 and whilst initially reluctant to wear anything on my wrist I, after 4 years of daily wear therein started my journey with TRF and luxury watches. I¡¯ve had the good fortune to own and wear many fantastic brands and still own some today. In a collection of 8 (2 of which are owned by my wife) I/we own 3 Rolex and 5 other brands. 3 rolex keepers from a total of 12 Rolex and 22 other brands that have passed thr

Explorer I for woman
My wife never wore her 34mm date, so I sold it. Her wrist is just under 15 cm. Is it possible to make the new Explorer I that small without removing permanent links? She thought the other Rolex was too girly. I'd like to buy one tomorrow if I can find one in HK, and if it can fit a small wrist

What a great advertisement
What a nice advertisementWhen the Swedish watch shop was exposed to a smash and grab, they took a photo of the event and printed a poster as it was in the display window in anticipation of a new window. The text says: When the desire for a Rolex is too big. Welcome through the door on the left.
