Zenith Academy Minute Repeater Chronograph Watch
The Academy collection from Zenith is back with more, introducing this new Academy El Primero Minute Repeater Chronograph. This is a very high-end and exclusive version of the Zenith Elite design family which the model lives in. This isn't the first Zenith minute repeater, but they aren't common for the brand. For the right high-end collectors, this could be a very special timepiece.Zenith is mostly known as an in-house movement maker and producer of the famous El Primero family of high beat automatic movements that operate at 5 Hertz (36,000 beats per hour). The El Primero is a base for most of their chronographs and is also the base for a chronograph with a minute repeater in this very uncommon Caliber 4043 El Primero movement that I recall from a rare model back in 2009. The 4043 caliber is back in a much more attractive piece that gives new life to the movement and theme.What I like about the 461 part caliber 4043 movement is its practicality and beauty. It is also a fully integrat

What's a good discount at an AP AD
A buddy's got his eye on a RO or ROO thanks to me going on about AP all this time. He's found an AD that offered 20% on the 15400. Is that good enough or does anyone know of better discounts from ADs. The RRP was 15,500€ (19,000USD) and the discount brings it to 12,400€ (15,400USD)

Thoughts about the Dark Side of The Moon
Been toying with the idea of trading in a GMT IIC along with some cash to acquire the Omega preowned. The one thing I wish the DSOTM would have is the super luminova on the tachometer bezel like the Grey Side of the Moon version. I'm not sure if newer revisions will include this or if it would be an easy upgrade by swapping out the bezel if it ever does come out.In regards to the GMT IIC, love the watch but its been sitting in the safe ever since I got a Daytona ref 116509. Plan on getting the BLRO version of the GMT when it starts hitting the preowned market in a few years.Just curious as to what some viewpoints are. Thanks and have a great New Year.

Trade for 5035J ?
I am thinking about trading my DSSD V series for a Patek 5035J plus $14k.Is this a good trade or anyone think I can get a better deal ? Would you trade if you were me?

Got to try on the YG DD40 with romans
I've been thinking about the DD40 for awhile now and the nearest ADs were too far away for me to stroll in for a 20min look around. Well I was able to get to an AD the other day and put on the YG DD40 and they just so happened to have the one I would want- the silver dial with romans:Hodinkee's photo:The president bracelet was the most impressive thing. I've read people describe that the bracelet drapes over your wrist and I never understood that until now. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.Now anybody who is here knows that a YG Day-Date with a fluted bezel is going to be a showy piece. Even if you have never seen one in person. I knew that before I stepped into the AD, but it is something else in person. The whole watch is designed to reflect light- the silver sunburst dial, the roman hour markers, the fluted bezel, the polished sides of the case and bracelet. Frankly, the dial reflects light so much, I almost felt like I was distracted by it and telling the time was secondary.Oft
