Arnold & Son DTE Double Tourbillon Escapement Dual Time Watch For 2015
It's always nice to see brands celebrating their heritage appropriately. The new Arnold & Son DTE Double Tourbillon Escapement Dual Time watch does just that. Few brands around these days have the luxury of being able to claim their founder played a role in the creation of a complication, much less one as famous and ubiquitous as the tourbillon. Despite the fact that Arnold & Son have not been in continuous operation since the foundation of the company in 1764, the renaissance of the brand owes much to the longevity of John Arnold's professional legacy, embellished through time by his personal friendship with Abraham Louis-Breguet.John Arnold was one of the finest watchmakers of his time. A chronometer specialist by trade, his influence on his contemporary, and ultimate legend, Abraham-Louis Breguet is debatable, but the respect the two shared is not.

Record keeping
Boring topic, but does anyone have something that they created that keeps a good accounting of such things like purchase price, purchase date, repair cost, date servicedthat sort of thing.

AP and JLC in Toronto?
I hope I am not violating some forum rule but I'd like to have some suggestion about shops in Toronto which carry these two brands. There are several models of both makers which I'd like to see in the flesh before deciding something and I would like to take advantage of a trip I will have there soon to do this (I live in South America and many of these watches are difficult even to see at a shop), so I would like a large official or semi-official dealer with many models on display. However, after looking them, I might decide to buy something directly during the trip, in which case a place with good prices could also be appreciated. Once again, if it is against the rules to ask for such informations here please move, edit or remove this post as appropriate. I posted it anyway because I would think that at least the official dealers of the brands should be possible to have and for some reason I could find easily the AP dealers (in the AP's page) but not the JLC ones...GLF

White gold more durable than yellow gold?
Doing some research on my next possible buy. One i'm looking at is the Smurf. Is white gold more durable than the yellow? I know both are 18 karat and I'm probably answering my own question, but I'm wondering if in the white gold there may be a slightly higher content of nickel or silver.Is it a scratch magnet or does the fact that it's white gold hide it a bit better?
