BREAKING NEWS: Rolex now makes a watch winder!
For many years, when the question of "can I put my Rolex in a watch winder" came up, Rolex generally had a standard response of "we do not endorse the use of a watch winder." Now it seems they actually make and sell a watch winder! Take a look at the photos below (used by permission from "Rolex1970" on R-L-X):Apparently, according to Rolex1970 on R-L-X this item can be ordered from Swiss Rolex dealers for 740 CFS - no minimum purchase is required. To the degree it's available outside of Switzerland is uncertain at this point. I'd love to know who makes the actual winder motor and case (I'm sure it isn't Rolex).

Luxury Watch Brand Status
Luxury Watch Brand Status3 years ago, I purchased a Longines Hydroconquest Automatic with the black aluminum bezel. I had previously owned a Tag Heuer Link Quartz Chronograph (too many Bourne movies), an Oris TT1, my father's Omega Deville, my grandfather's Elgin, my mother's refinished Hamilton Electric, some Seiko Divers, a Movado Museum Automatic, and a few Victorinox watches. I bought the Longines because I read that Swatch would stop selling blanks to third parties, I had been told that Longines used top grade ETA movements, and I like its history.In the past three years, I have acquired the following pre loved watches: An EBEL Brasilia Automatic (which I still have), a Baume et Mercier Capeland S Automatic Chronograph (which I still have), a Raymond Weil Parsifal Automatic (which I quickly sold), and a Breitling Colt Automatic (which I also dumped). Although I am holding on to the EBEL and Baume et Mercier, my favorite watch is still the Longines.Given that I have owned the above

Hi everyone
HI everyone, I've been contemplating my first AP watch purchase. I own a few rolex watches but I hear AP is on a different level. I'm considering either the blue boutique stainless steel royal oak chronograph or the same watch with the black dial, I thought about maybe just starting out with a regular royal oak steel watch but I really like the chronographs. The rose gold AP's are stunning watches but a little out of my price range for now.Any advice on which steel version wears better for everyday use. I have seen the black but I've never seen the blue boutique in person, can anyone that has had or has these pieces offer their personal opinions/reviews. Do they scratch easily?Do AP owners usually start out with steel and then move up to pink gold?I know rolex hold value pretty well, what about AP?any general reviews on pros/cons would be appreciated. Thanks
