Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept GMT Tourbillon 2014 Watch
For 2014, the Royal Oak Concept watch by Audemars Piguet makes a return. Originally released in 2002, the Royal Oak Concept was penned as an ultra-modern version of the Royal Oak on the 30th Anniversary of the famed Gerald Genta-designed luxury sport watch. watches-dealer covered the last version of the?Royal Oak Concept GMT Tourbillon in 2011 here. The 2014 version is more "summery" than any of the previous models, featuring a titanium case and light white ceramic (for the bezel, crown, pusher, and hourglass-shaped structure on the movement). Inside the watch is the revised original movement with the new Audemars Piguet caliber 2930. The case is 44mm wide but wears quite large due to the large lug structures.In addition to the modern design, the Royal Oak Concept GMT Tourbillon has some interesting features. There is, of course the tourbillon to the left, and to the right is a GMT disc offering a second time zone. The movement has a long power reserve of 10 days between two barrels. A

Omega Seamaster Professional Vancouver 2010 Olympics Watch
There is nothing wild about this limited edition Omega watch, and frankly that is the way I like my Omega limited edition watches. Nothing too avant garde, just a good sober looking timepiece with a nice theme. Omega is pretty much obligated to release limited edition watches for the Olympics. First, they are the official timekeeper for the Olympics (since 1932). Wouldn't it look silly if they didn't celebrate that fact every two years? Second, it is pretty much the type of marketing occasion you'd be an idiot to miss out on. For the 2008 Summer Olympics they released this really cool limited edition Speedmaster based watch, for 2010 it is back to the Seamaster for inspiration. The result is something impressively on par with the visuals in my mind when I think of the winter Olympics.In 2010, you'll find Vancouver Canada overrun with Olympians, their coaches, and fans of course. For me, it will be days of background noise on TV. While the games themselves only interest me offhandedly,

Nomos on Mesh
After a struggle where I tried to size the bracelet and failed, the jeweler tried and failed, and finally a watchmaker succeeded (had a pin that would not come out), the Nomos is on a bracelet. The bracelet is quite comfortable even with the 3.5 mm thick mesh (or maybe because of it). I wanted to get this on a bracelet because 1) now it can go in a pool so I can take it traveling and 2) I thought that Stowa had the right idea of putting the Antea on mesh. It now has a more "blingy" look, but I think that is O.K. for what is ostensibly my dress watch. It will probably go back to the watchmaker soon because he put in a friction pin instead of a spring bar to hold the bracelet. (these mesh bracelets for some reason require very thin spring bars which the vendor did not supply ) But, for now, I am going to enjoy it for just a while longer. An expensive and arduous process so far, but I think the results are worth the headache. Enjoy the pics!

RO 15400 date change problem
My RO appears to have a slight problem recently. The date change is no longer smooth. When changing the date with the crown, I must pause a short 1/2 sec before I can change to the next day. It's like the mechanism got some resistance and a bit stucked. But it is still smooth when winding or adjusting the hour/mins. The date also change at midnight without problems. Any idea what's wrong?
