SIHH 2013 Preview: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Grande Complication
This year, Audemars Piguet celebrated the 40th anniversary of the original Royal Oak. Next year marks two decades of the larger, sportier Royal Oak Offshore, and Audemars Piguet plans to commemorate the milestone with the release of the extremely limited Royal Oak Grande Complication. The watch makes its debut at the SIHH watch fair in January, but the company has offered a tantalizing glimpse of it now.Audemars Piguet launched the Royal Oak Offshore in 1993, but the family-owned watch company, based in Le Brassus, Switzerland, has a history of making grand complications that stretches back to 1882. That historic expertise is on prominent display in this timepiece, which includes three “classic complications:” a split-seconds chronograph, a minute repeater, and a perpetual calendar.The movement that unites all of these functions, along with the hours, minutes and small seconds, is Audemars Piguet’s self-winding Caliber 2885, which has an astonishing 648 parts, 52 jewe

Hearing and feeling the 3330 movement??
I just bought a Speedmaster Racing Chrono with the 3330 movement and I can hear and feel the movement while the watch is on my wrist or if I shake it. It almost feels like a gyroscope inside the watch, is this normal??. The watch keeps good time but the sound is annoying and makes it sound cheap which is certainly wasn't.

Which websites should I keeps tabs on for something like this -- a site that's trusted and reliable?

Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS event...
I was fortunate enough to attend AP's latest charity event benefiting Broadway Cares/EFA, which was hosted by the current cast of the hit musical Jersey Boys, and let me tell you, the evening was nothing short of a revelation.Never mind that I got to see old friends like Al Armstrong (his own best customer) as well as chat with newly-minted AP CEO, Francois Bennahmias, the music was the focus of the evening. News flash: these guys can sing, and what's more, they're all perfect gentlemen who remain humble on the face-of their considerable vocal gifts.(yes, the camera on my HTC EVO leaves much to be desired...)It must be said here that at no point in the evening was Francois more animated or genuinely excited then when he was speaking about the charity and his commitment to keeping this partnership going throughout his tenure. This man believes 100% in giving back to the community, and it shows. He made me proud to be an AP owner twice over, and I look forward to the day when I can add
