Watch Spotting: Stan Wawrinka Wearing An Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph WHILE Winnin
While the big news in the watch/tennis world over the past 10 days has been Nadal's newest ultra-light-weight, $800,000 Richard Mille Tourbillon, it wasn't this mega watch, or even Djokovic's Seiko Astron, that was seen as the championship trophy was hoisted yesterday at Roland Garros. Nay, it was an Audemars Piguet, and it was the wrist of Swiss-born Stan Wawrinka. 1 OF 3 What is even more is that Stan didn't just put his AP – A Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph in Steel (reference 26470ST) – on after he won, but he actually wore the watch while playing! This AP is a big watch, not a featherweight like the Nadal tourbillon, which makes it even cooler. You can read more about this watch here.

Mido Multifort
I haven't posted a non-American acquisition in a long time. This one is perfect advice from Adam. ALL information in this thread has been modified from his original writeup to me personal. I present to you the worlds FIRST Waterproof/Anti-Shock/Automatic/Anti-Magnetic watch!Rolex had one that was close but was not Anti-Magnetic!Although this model is from the 1940's it is the same model from 1935 that was the first ever in its class.Mido used a natural cork seal by the crown to keep water out. I asked Jesse how it worked and he said when natural cork swells when wet, and this watch has never had a reported failure. This watch is such a COOL piece, it is a bumper movement and a smooth sweep. It is gorgeous!The Mido917 beats at 18,000 bph through a Nivarox hairspring.According to Adam's research, the Mido Multifort cost 20% more than a Bubbleback from Rolex! This was luxury and function at its finest.Here are some pictures for you! Thank you Adam (Ike please thank Adam personally for me

Movada changing its face?
Admittedly I am not familiar with Movado; however, I just saw an advertisement in (I believe it was SI, 1 DEC) a magazine, and the Movado had a face, with some sub dials, and a date at the 4 position. Are they changing their tune? Or has anyone else seen this?

Can ROO bezel be repaired?
Hi all,This may seem a stupid question, but I am just getting into the ROO having not paid much attention to them before. Tastes change etc and I can't believe I haven't been into these until now! Just discovering the range and honing in on what one I want to buy (will rotate with GMT Master II).The one thing that comes up in every thread on these is how easy the bezel is to scratch due to the size. I used to own a PAM 312 and caught it from time to time (generally I am very careful and work at a desk, but the bulk of it takes you by surprise sometimes). I also used to own an AP 15300 and know that picked up scratches pretty easily.Anyway, my question is, is scratching/damaging the bezel terminal/permanent? Or is it just a case of the watch needing a light polish every couple of years or so? My budget probably restrains me to considering the 42mm and it would be the steel bezel. Is scratching it that bad, or is it just a minor annoyance and when you get it back after a service it's goo
