Historical watches representing 135 years of history were on display around them.The next and most special guest, representing the brand¡¯s newly released watch model, was Formula 1 racing ace Jarno Trulli, who has been has been serving as Audemar

Why is it...
I am a member on several different Watch forums and I always visit the sales corner of every one of them.Just came up with the idea to get my Dad a nice pre-loved Aqua Terra, still figuring out what size and color...But I noticed that there aren't (m)any for sale out there, in fact I can't even remember when I ever saw one out there..Any thoughts on this..?

Blue dial 15400 or Diver?
Some views please!I have a silver dial 41mm ROC and thinking of another RO to compliment it. Two watches that keep coming to mind are the standard Diver and the 15400 with the blue dial. I like the idea of the blue dial as it seems a rare beast and, well, I like blue!I know what to expect with the 41mm case and know the Offshore fits my wrist too. So, is the 15400 too much of the same as I have the ROC? There's a lot of love on here for the Diver and I think I'm leaning towards it too. Any thoughts? Look forward to hearing from you guys.Martin

Pricing Information on Royal Oaks 15400, 15202, 15450!!!
Here's the pricing information for the new 15400ST. There is, of course, a difference in price between the ref. 15400 and the ref.15202. The 15300ST is now discontinued!!! I am glad I bought mine a few weeks ago. Now it's time to grab one if you can.By the way, the new 41mm 40th Anniversary Royal Oak Ref. 15400 is fitted with the same caliber 3120 as the discontinued 15300ST.The Jumbo (39mm) Ref. 15202 will continue to come with caliber 2121 and there's a long waiting list for it. I think it will be even longer in 2012. The 2012 price for the ref. 15202ST is $22,500 and $60,100 for the rose gold one.The price for the ref. 15400ST is $16,900, rose gold on leather strap $33,800 and solid rose gold with rose gold bracelet $64,800. The 37mm Royal Oak ref. 15450 starts out at $16,300 in steel and $31,000 in rose gold.

Have a look! My first Breitling!
Just arrived yesterday - a B01 Chronomat - gently pre-loved condition. I like the watch even more than I thought I would. The dial is fantastic, and I am finding it very comfortable. I have an aftermarket Hirsch strap on the way - testing how I like the strap before buying a Breitling black croc on deployant. Here's a wristy shot.
