Introducing The Richard Mille RM 56-02 Tourbillon Sapphire (Details & Pricing)
Back at SIHH 2012, Richard Mille introduced the RM 056, a split-seconds chronograph tourbillon with a full sapphire case. It was priced at $1.65 million and it turned a lot of heads. Then came the updated RM 56-01, which added a sapphire baseplate, bridges, and third wheel, upping the ante. Well, today we have another outlandish sapphire creation for you from Richard Mille, the RM 56-02. In addition to adding more sapphire to the mix, Richard Mille has taken cues from the RM 27-01 Nadal watch, suspending the titanium baseplate from the sapphire case with an elaborate cable and pulley system. And the price? You'll have to read on to find out.The RM 56-02 is about two main innovations: first, the unprecedented use of sapphire to create transparent components and second, the cable and pulley system that suspends the movement from the sapphire case.

Help Identify an Illinois Wrist Watch?
Hi there,We recently purchased this Illinois watch at an antique shop in Toronto and would love to know more about it ¡ª the model name, production history, anything! We've done our best to find this out ourselves, but as absolute newcomers to the world of vintage watches, we've only had limited success. It seems close to a model called the Whippet, but we haven't been able to find an exact match to photos or old ads online. A peak inside the watch tells us it has 17 jewels and the serial number is 5124274. One online serial number look-up told it was likely made in 1929, another told us 1927. We don't have the experience (or the reference books) to solve this mystery alone. Would any of you watch sleuths care to take on the case?Many thanks,Mike & ChristineTorontoIllinois Wrist Watch 1.jpgIllinois Wrist Watch 2.jpgIllinois Wrist Watch 3.jpg

Should I the trigger on the WG Daytona on OF
My AD here in Toronto, Canada currently offering 18% off on the 2017 Basel Release WG Daytona on Oyster Flex. I think I can push for 20% to 22% off since I bought numerous watches from them in the past. Please give me your opinions whether the discount is good or not. The Grey market still sell close to MSRP on this particular model. Thanks for all of your comments.
