I would like to have a book like that, but I would be so tempted to buy an AP, it'd be bad for my financial well-being!!

That's a nice book Thomas! Interested to know what the 1st and 2nd watches are? Also, the 2nd from the bottom with 10 (???) days reserve.

If you're interested in the AP Concept Watch, there's one for sale here:

http://www.tz-uk.com/forum/viewtopic...st=0&sk=t&sd=a

^^^ Could be my favorite sales ad until this point Three incredible watches all together.

I used to love buying big coffee table books, especially one regarding my old Leica camera equipment and various famous photographers as well as various travel books, but I later realized I never read them more than once. But that sure looks like a worthwhile read!

Nice book.

Is it Royal oak heavy or does it have a good selection on their other watches?
I like the brand but the endless variations on the Royal oak really put me off.

Thomas, I may have a medical conference to go to which is near to the museum. I will pm you when I get some dates. I have asked the pharmaceutical company that is sponsoring the event to organise it for me and they said not a problem they can add it to the end of my visit. May even get to meet the man!

Thanks for the info Thomas. The Montoya is nice, but I would probably choose Massa's RM if I had to chose

How big is the ROO T3? It looks kind of small on the picture but having been worn by Arnold Schwarzenegger, I'd assume it's on the "big side"?

Here is some more watch porn for Audemars Piguet addicts. Could perhaps be the same guy who is selling the Concept watch...

A serious AP collection....... And a Richard Mille

Me too, love the Massa RM11
Case dimensions on the T3- 15.65mm thick x 61mm total length x 57.2mm wide
So absolutely Arnold size

That guy got some heavy pieces in his collection

Looks like a real nice book Thomas. Been thinking more about considering an AP for my next watch. Anyway my AD might start selling them soon, we'll just have to see.

The book is fantastic! A great read and lot of beautiful photos
What models are you looking in too?

Myself has an itch for a third...Either the Diver or the 15300 will be added

Wow, you better be a bodybuilder to wear the T3 then

Been searching for info regarding the "H-N-R" at the 6 o'clock position on the Carbon Concept. Do you know what it's for? See it's "R-N-H" on the older version in the book.

That is the selection indicator.

H indicates that the crown is in the Time Correction position.
N indicates that the crown is in the Neutral position.
R indicates that the crown is in winding position.

One of their Chronographs more than likely.
