De Bethune DB25 Dead Beat Tourbillon Regulator Watch
I will repeat to you the words that I recently told De Bethune's CEO. There are expensive watches that I really appreciate and know that I would strongly consider getting them if I had the money. Then there is De Bethune, that actually makes me angry I cannot afford it." I've written about De Bethune a bit over the years - not having too much experience with the pieces. But recently I was fortunate enough to finally meet with the boutique Swiss brand and experience the magic.Like a handful of other brands out there, De Bethune is a brand that even the most seasoned and mature watch lovers and collectors are extremely fond of. They simply do things others cannot. Their designs are out of this world, and their mechanics are brilliant, functional, and drop-dead gorgeous to admire. These watches are a dream - and funny enough one of their pieces is actually called "The Dream Watch."2011 sees the DB25 - an interesting timepiece that plays with the tourbillon in a new way. Unlike some of De

The unthinkable is happening
For those who know me and follow my posts you know that I incredibly love my Patek 5712, well I still love it a lot, but I can honestly say that I love as much or even a little bit more my ceramic diver, I have been in Ukraine for 1 month, in Odessa, not where the civil war is raging, and took both of them, and clearly I wear much more my diver, maybe 70/30, never imagined that I would love this watch so much, but it's a truly awesome piece, and I've always wanted a ceramic watch, almost bought a Pam 335 a few years ago but went with a 233 dot dial instead, as much as I liked the Pam before it is in no way in the same league as the AP IMO.So thanks to all the enablers, Benlee in particular who posted many pics of his ceramic diver, and all the others who posted as well pics of this model, as much as I prefer the Nautilus models to the RO models, well except for the RG pieces, love the RG Jumbo and RG skeleton, but clearly prefer the PP SS models to the AP RO SS models, I incredibly lov

Royal Oak or Vacheron Constantin dual time?
Both have the same designation for the GMT models, one is 39mm while the other, the VC, is 42mm, the RO is steel bracelet, the VC is nice in titanium with leather/rubber strap, you have one of each when you buy it, the price new from grey dealer is more or less the same for a new piece.Can't download a pic from the site so here's a link to the VC:.vacheron-constantin/f...7450-000w-9511Same thing for the RO so here's the link:.audemarspiguet/en/wat...k#!CO:RO.EP:COBoth are great looking IMO, the VC being more modern and using titanium.I understand that the debate will be biased this being a AP forum, but what do you think of both models, their pluses and minuses, knowing that I am cutting down on my collection and aiming for a 3 watch collection, 2 of which are ordered, the Rolex Hulk, sub c LV, and the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712.Which according to you would be the perfect third to complete the trio?Thanks in advance for your thoughts and advices

Back to Omega
Last year after selling my 114060 I purchased a PO 8500 42mm. Great watch but could not get a great fit. Purchased the adjustable clasp and installed. Got a great fit but could not deal with the weight and hight. Sold the PO and purchased a 116610LN. Wore that for a year but always found it a bit boring, found myself looking at the Omega again. While in the Bahamas I visited the Omega AD. They had the PO 8800 39.5 in stock. I was amazed how much better it felt on the wrist. Got back to the states and purchased it from DavidSW. I could not be happier. The 39.5mm is in my opinion the perfect size.

Omega... to Co-Axial or not to Co-Axial?
Hey all,Just wanted a few expert opinions on the Omega Co-Axial. I have had many differeing opinions on why this movement is better and worse and have heard of the problems with the initial run... but what do you think? I know this movement is already replacing the old reliable in a few Omega lines and in turn increasing their prices dramatically! So ho many out there own one and what is your review? Is it really worth the $$$???
