Four New Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Watches For 2015
The perpetual calendar is among the most highly regarded complications in?horology ¨C and?with good reason. The way its all-mechanical brain knows the lengths of the months throughout the years and makes the date display jump from the 28, 29, 30 or 31st day to the?1st all by itself, even in leap years, is?genuinely amazing to all watch enthusiasts ¨C while its exact workings?is understood by much fewer. The four new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar watches for 2015 bring back the terrific looks of the original "RO QP" ¨C the Royal Oak Quenti¨¨me Perpetual ¨C albeit at a slightly larger size.Originally designed?in 1981, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar to this day, remains one?of the most timelessly beautiful dress watches with this complication. What's new in 2015 is that the "new" models, by the reference?26574OR.OO.1220, are 2 millimeter wider, coming in at 41 millimeters now (that is, excluding the crown, as always).Two versions in steel and two in pink gold,

If I'm allowed to post this I paid $293. It's a 33 mm wire lug 1908 Elgin with a porcelain dial. I've purchased from the seller before and they always have A-1 primo items so I have no doubt about it's condition as mint without even a hairline in the dial as described.

New Explorer 1 vs 16570
As the title implies, I am considering my first Rolex. My options are the Explorer 1 (lumed 39MM) or the 5-digit ExplorerII. Prices are relatively close.My wife likes the New Explorer.
