Fr¨¦d¨¦rique Constant Manufacture Tourbillon Grand Feu
Fr¨¦d¨¦rique Constant has long been known for producing quality timepieces at reasonable prices. Now the brand is stepping into the big leagues with a limited edition tourbillon with a technically-advanced manufacture movement and a grand feu enamel dial in a rose gold case, priced at less than you might think. Find complete specs, wallpaper and pricing inside. Enameling is an ancient technique where finely powdered colored glass is applied to a metal plate. The metal plate with the glass powder is then baked in an oven hot enough to melt the glass. This enameling process produces a beautiful deep, shiny surface. Only few of the plates will survive the 900+ degree Celsius fire and produce an even surface. The slightest imperfection in the mixed powder or the supporting metal plate, or even a speck of dust will ruin the dial. That’s why today, genuine enamel dials are made by only a handful of companies.Beneath the finely-crafted dial lies the Caliber FC-980 one-minute tourbillon. B

Aquanaut 5065 Stainless Steel
Patek Philippe afcionados,I'm considering making the Aquanaut 5065 my first Patek. Can you please give me your opinions of this watch? It comes on a rubber strap (not sure if there is an option). Is it worth the $$$. Also, if someone would be so kind to let me PM them the price to help me determine if the price is fair.Thanks, Eric

My 'workbench'
I am very excited. Got some tools now. Horotec swiss tools are expensive but being swiss, you know your quality is there. Got the caseback opener which is made in HK, but does good enough work. So far, I have the following tools:-set of 6 screwdrivers and stand (horotec)hands press (horotec)tweezer 100% antimag 110mm (horotec)blowerrodicoscrewdriver sharpenerhands removerhigh quality japan-made clothmovement holder and pilloweye loupe 3Xfinger cotsbracelet openerswiss knifecaseback opener (HK-oem)soon-to-come: press for snapcase backI have so excited to create this mini workshop bench. Want to hone my skills :) with the 6497 and some other cheap watches. I have quite abit of time at home now. Will upload more pics and videos as I work on the movements, hope you guys will enjoy. For now, this is the workspace. Will probably have to get a shorter bench and a white plastic-like mat.

Interesting day in Geneva visiting AP and PP...some interesting prices as well
Firstly, I would like to give a quick shout out to JorgeCCW and thank him for his thread Conversion from hoarding all brands to Patek which has influenced me enormously, and without which I probably wouldn't have gone on this little trip.Secondly, for the sake of simplicity I have put all figures into US$ at today's spot rates:$1 = 0.804 Euros$1 = 0.966 CHF (Swiss Francs)************************************************** ***************************Today I spent the day in Geneva, which for me is about a 2 hour drive from home. I have been familiar with the city for years and know my way around....although as far as watches are concerned up until now my interest was exclusively in Rolex. It was never my idea to return home with a new watch....not today anyway.....more a case of deciding what I want next. FYI, I was fairly well dressed and wearing my WG Day-Date.Simply to give myself a warm-up I stopped first at Montres Prestige at the Kempinski Hotel. It is supposedly an Audemars Pig
