On Saturday, November 20, Paris¡¯ Palais Garnier played host to Vacheron Constantin as well as hundreds of the Manufacture¡¯s guests for the much-anticipated 30th anniversary celebration of the AROP (Friends of the Paris Opera and Ballet). Presiding over the occasion were Jean-Louis Beffa, President of the AROP, Nicolas Joel, Director of the National Opera of Paris, and Brigitte Lef¨¨vre, Director of Dance.

Speedmaster 57 Retro
I haven't seen anyone talking about this model which is surprising because I think it's one of the best watches from Basel this year.I loved the Speedmaster 57 when they first introduced it two years ago, but the lack of the broad arrow hour hand definitely bothered me. They called it the 57, but it lacked identity. I liked that they used it in the sub dial, but thought it would have been better as the hour hand.

So you own a Daytona
Given the popularity of the Rolex Daytona, I¡¯m curious as to how you came about owning this watch. For example: were you on an AD¡¯s waiting list for this watch? Did you have a customer relationship with the AD? How long did you have to wait until you were able to purchase the watch given that the AD did not have one in stock? Did you purchase the watch from a gray market at premium price? Was this your first Rolex watch? Thank you, in advance, for your input. I¡¯m on a waiting list at my local AD and have purchased four Rolex watches and a Breitling watch from this AD in the past two years. I¡¯ve been on their waiting list since last July.
