Saturday Morning Rewind: One Year Ago This Weekend, We Went Inside Rolex, And Boy Did You Guys Like
The goal with HODINKEE was always bringing you guys into a world that is, at times, seemingly surrounded by a cement wall of European conservatism and secrecy. Whether it's sitting down for a beer with an NBA all-star or silicon valley visionary, witnessing how one of today's modern masters make his masterpiece , or an in-depth, hands-on with the man who designed the most complicated wristwatch in Patek Philippe's history, I feel pretty good about saying we're doing our job. Still, one story in this category rises above them all to take you someplace where few have ever or will ever have access – inside Rolex. It was this weekend one year ago where I published the 10,000 word story that takes you, the HODINKEE reader, inside incredible, clandestine world of the most important watch brand in the world. 1 OF 1 HODINKEE is one of a small handful of outlets ever invide its Bienne facility, where movements are produced.

Rolex items
I realize this is a watch forum and this may be a little off topic, but I did not know who else to ask. Where is the best place to purchase the Rolex pocket knives and things like that, i.e. hats, shirts, etc. I have seen people with these items but I cannot find them for sale anywhere. I am specifically looking for a small pocket knife in a little pouch that has the Rolex logo on the pouch and Rolex on the handle of the knife. I think it is a swiss army type knife. Any help on this would be appreciated.Thanks Rob

Entering the World of AP and need advise....
Hey guys hope everyone here is well...Ive been a collector now for many years and wanted to pick the brains of you the experts with regards to AP...My collection so far includes Omega (Seamaster and SpeedyPro) Rolex (Vintage GMT 16750, 1680 Red, WG Sub Smurf and WG SkyDweller) and a Patek Philippe 5980R... Ive been after the Patek World Time Enamel dial 5131R but its proving impossible to get unless you are willing to spend double the retail price... Since there is no other Pateks which have my attention at the moment, I have turned to AP which ive been looking at last few years and not till last few months with the release of the new Royal Oak Perpetual in Steel its been on my mind and possibly could be my next purchase..My question to you guys here on the AP forum is what is your take on the new RO Perpetual?? And what do you feel about AP in terms of resale value on the secondary market?? Does AP hold its value over time??? I hear it doesnt but wanted to ask you guys here who have

15300 help/advice?
Hey everyone, looking for some help in regards to an AP 15300. I'm turning 30 in a month and figure it's a good excuse for a new watch. I called a local watch shop, Govberg, and they happened to have a white dial G serial, preowned piece in stock for $12,750 (box no papers), Govberg 15 month warranty, and they say it's been serviced recently. I made my way down and tried it on. It's a great looking piece and extremely comfortable. I put a refundable deposit down to hold it. They said they'd need to talk to the manager about discounting. A quick search on the forum makes the price look competitive. What do you guys think about the price? Should I be looking at other models too (15400,15202)?Thanks in advance for the help

AP forum tab time ?
With all these new AP owners is it time for TRF to have its own AP forum tab? You guys have excellent watches and make awesome threads. TRF is becoming the go to site for non Rolex discussions in my book, due to the great community of people and environment. I am looking to join the club very soon. just a thought :cheers
