Audemars Piguet

Can you help me?

 

Michael, I just read your post about strap changing your roo. I bought one of the latest editions, red stopwatch hands, black dial, black alligator strap with r d stitching. last winter. Having a proper man sized wrist, I quickly realised I needed a larger strap which I bought for an exorbitant price from my local AP boutique. They kindly fitted it free, while I watched. You will be pleased to know you did it the correct way! My other reason for writing is that I live in the South of France - ie. Hot. I have quite a number of watches in my collection, but inevitably I like to wear each new addition on an almost daily basis for a while. The problem is that perspiration and leather don't really work, and I could see my beautiful strap becoming ruined. AP suggested a light dressing of olive oil to the inside which certainly preserves the leather, but over time it soakes through to the red stitching, turning it a dull off-red! Again I sought advice from my friendly AP boutique, and I bought an indelible red ink. pen, which seems to do the trick. Do you have any better ideas ? Thanks Tony

Not much happening here, some work, house chores, and maybe watching some football with friends. My favorite time of year....  

Yes sir!

I am working on some recommendations for the posting issue. Good to see you here, I'll send any info I turn up.

That is a very masculine ROO.

BTW, "not much happening" could be a good thing sometimes.

You are right about that -

I embrace "not much happening", because usually it is just the opposite for me. Thanks Luis.

I love all 3 RBII variants

But for an every day limited Offshore, titanium RB2 is the best.

Thanks Wayne. Since it is the weekend...

I can afford a slip in productivity. That tends to be a significant problem when I wear this one ...  

I have lots of confidence in ceramic.

Despite the high value of the RB2, it is a very wearable watch IMO. The ceramic bezel makes it impervious to scratches. I have never dropped a watch so I don't really worry about cracking. I guess you could scratch the titanium; I have learned over the ye...
