Bulova Ups Their Watch Game In Los Angeles
I continue to feel that, for the money, one of the coolest watches around is a piece in the Bulova Accutron II collection. A mixture of classic good looks with the Accutron II movement (essentially, the Bulova Precisionist with its higher-than-standard accuracy for a quartz watch, with a sweeping seconds) is a fantastic way to spend just a few hundred bucks on a timepiece. The Accutron II, however, wasn't what Bulova was celebrating the other night at the Feldmar Watch Company store here in Los Angeles.They were presenting the commercial version of what will be among the most exclusive watches in the world from one of the biggest brands ¨C the Bulova Accu-Swiss Percheron 24k gold watch that we first debuted back at Baselworld 2014. It is the first watch in the world that has a solid 24k gold case. A bit odd at first, I have to say that the insane concept behind the 24k gold watch has grown on me, assuming I had a spare $42,000 to spend.The Bulova Percheron 24k Gold watch is the pinnacle

Factoid of the Day -1/19/08
In 2004 an explorer buried a watch in a plastic box at the geographical North Pole. The box was found three years later by an ll-year-old boy walking on the beach in Finland. The watch still worked.

buying in dubai?
I am a newb.But I've recently made the decision to buy an AP and this will be my first watch. I don't have a whole ton of knowledge and have been reading online as much as I can. I'm planning on buying the Royal Oak Offshore w/ceramic bezel in 18kt rose gold... reasons are just that I like it.I've been checking online and shopping in person in Bangkok as I am traveling through Asia.Ceramic bezel was not in either official dealer here in Bangkok, only the rubberclad. This is listed online in the USA around $36k with grey market dealers. MSRP from AP is around $50k I believe, but it's being shown in these boutiques at $62,000. They of course instantly offer a 20% discount off of that 20% markup to bring you down to the AP MSRP.The best price I could squeeze out in person was around $44k for the rubberclad. By the time I got there and had read what people had to say long term with the rubberclad I decided to just move on to the ceramic bezel model.Is it worthwhile to try to shop for this

Would you consider this a "good deal"?
Hi all,I've been posting for several days now and got a lot of great feedback/information regarding the 5010 options I have, THANK YOU ALL! I'm now THIS close to pulling the trigger on a mint 5010J with box, certificate, and books (i believe it's a complete set) but as this is another one of my over budget purchases, I'm wondering if $6800 is a good deal? Also, any opinions as to what price I could expect to sell at IF that time comes (and I don't mean in a HURRY...just a fair realistic price in the current market). I'd like to say that without my recent communications in the forum I don't think I'd be considering my first Patek right now...thanks again!
