Thanks Dalip.

I might have to do that now that Mike upstaged me.


I just wish I took better pictures.

Let's look closer...
Both have wonderful case and bracelet designs. Retro yet classy!


Audemars Piguet is a little louder than Patek Philippe...



Balance design on the Patek is much more reserved...



Patek Philippe... simple yet elegant.


Audemars Piguet... what heritage!


Ultimately I prefer, by a hair, that paragon of style!

OMG, if I didn't have them already you would have just pushed me over the edge.

Awesome pictures Mike.

Each piece is 'Rockstar' in its own right! Congrats.

PS. Is that a Cinquecento you're driving? Those are pretty cool.

I thought I would post an update with the latest addition. No proof this is a Gerald Genta design, but it surely was inspired by the man's designs.
