Breitling At The Reno Air Races
One of the major timepiece archetypes is the pilot (or aviation) watch. There are numerous brands with products that fit this category, a segment which is attractive to anyone with a fetish for flight or planes. Some brands have an actual history with aviation, some try to produce the best possible pilot watch for today, and many others simply try to emulate the concept of a stylish pilot watch. Anyone interested in aviation watches will have a range of models to choose from.For a lot of people that choice is very easy. Actual pilots (both civilian and military) choose or aspire to own a Breitling watch. Those aren't words from Breitling themselves. The Swiss brand does indeed have an historic connection to aviation going back a few generations, but that isn't really important to me. Why? Well because a lot of brands can accurately state that. The last hundred years of aviation didn't have just a few watch makers producing instruments and wristwatches for pilots. It was the combined ef

Which Royal Oak or Royal Oak Offshore?
Hi,I'm considering a Royal Oak or Royal Oak Offshore. After a few weeks of research, trying a few watches on etc, I've narrowed it down to a first generation Offshore (ref. 25721ST), the new 25th anniversary reissue (ref. 26237ST), Elephant (Ref. 26470ST) or Messi (ref. 26325TS) in steel.My first questions is if it makes any sense investing twice the money on the reissue (26237ST) of the original model (25721ST) in relation to future and long term value. Messi is a Limited Edition, which can be found at around the same price used as the reissue of the original Offshore. The Elephant is the joker at this point, and probably the worst investment of the bunch.On the wrist, I'm sure I will be pleased with any of these alternatives. What things boils down to then is the potential future demand and value, which is always a guessing game to a degree.Any advice are most welcome!

Third Year Warranty Question
I recently bought my 15400 from a Singapore AD, which comes with two years warranty. There is a card in the box which my AD filled up for me and it is supposed to entitle me to an additional year of warranty, which means 3 years. Last night, I read the warranty book and it says I have to register in the AP website to get a 3rd year warranty. After I have done that, I got a message from AP that says : In a few weeks, you will receive a sticker to be placed in your warranty booklet. To benefit from this third year warranty, you should take your watch to an Audemars Piguet approved repair center, at the latest 24 months after purchasing it. The repair centre will carry out a water-resistance service and fill out the required information on the sticker. This service is free of charge. For additional information, please refer to the Warranty booklet you received with your watch. ....So does it means I must bring back the watch within a year from purchase to get it service in order to qualif

Need help verifying Authenticity
Hello, I consider myself a fan of Omegas. I have owned one and I bought my wife one last year. However, I have never seen this model. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist though. Can anyone verify what this model is. Obviously a PO Chronograph, but it looks to be some sort of special edition if it is legit. A friend of mine won it in a raffle and I was just curious.Thank you!
