Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Jarno Trulli Limited Edition Watch
A new Formula 1 driver -based watch from Audemars Piguet is this new Royal Oak Offshore Jarno Trulli. Boy, it sure is nice, but looks very little like where these watches looked as though they have been evolving. It is possible that ending with the AP ROO Grand Prix, designer Octavio Garcia felt that the designs of brands race themed watches was getting too wild. While I liked the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Grand Prix watch - it is safe to say that it is a controversial design. You can also see the AP ROO Rubens Barrichello II watch here (another F1 driver). Thus, it isn't hard to see were AP has "scaled back" the look of the design a lot. Emphasis is on the forged carbon case, high-tech cermet (cool metal ceramic hyrbid material) dial, and the titanium crown and pushers. In a sober looking gray, the Jarno Trulli is dressed up a bit with bright red elements on the dial.Actually quite nice, the watch is more simple and easy to read that its "cousin" pieces. Only gripe I have is

Redial Question
I just bought a late 60's Constellation SN 25xxxxxx. SS 168.010. Watch had a spot on the dial, which really was much less noticeable than the photo. So far so good. Upon closer examination. The spot appeared to be from glue due to a botched repair of the 12 O'clock hash mark. Looked more like a blacksmith repair than a watch repair. Otherwise this was a nice origonal dial. This plus an undisclosed case issue are leading me to return the watch. As this is a nice running 564 cal. Neither the spot, or the case issue were deal breakers, but taken together, they were too much for me. This is sort of like some of those cars that look great from 40 feet. I hate to let it go, but as is, it just isn't ever going to feel right on my arm. Here's my question. Due to my budget, I may have to accept a watch that will have to have a dial refinished. If that becomes necessary, I'd like to hear from members who have gone this route. Good, bad, or indifferent. Please give me the benefit of your experie

Which Speedmaster to buy - there can be only one!
Hi,The background:I'm a person who aspires to own a Speedmaster soon, preferably this year. This is a big purchase for me since I've never owned a watch this expensive - the closest is a leather Tissot chronograph I got as a wedding gift from my wife. My last purchase of a watch was over 2 years ago, a honeymoon gift again from the Mrs (a nice, clean Mondaine from our Swiss trip). Every watch I own apart from the Mondaine is a chronograph and looking at the dials, I've always bought watches that looked like the Speedmaster because I never thought I would actually own one (this includes 3 excellent Sieko's!).The driving factor:I became a father earlier this year (first time) and my intention is to buy a watch I can eventually pass on to my son. I don't know if this sound corny or sentimental, but I would probably want to do this when he is old enough to understand its worth - maybe when he turns 18 or starts university etc. Anyway, despite my wife's initial protestations, she has finall
