Rotonde de Cartier Earth And Moon Tourbillon Watch
It would be wrong to deny Cartier the honor of being highly innovative over the last several years in regard to its most exclusive timepiece creations. To be actually innovative and come up with something new in a mechanical watch takes serious effort and luck. It has been uttered to me on more than one occasion that what can be done in a watch has been done, and furthermore, that all a watchmaker can do today is interpret and play with previously invented concepts. So when you see something new, no matter how whimsical or playful in a luxury watch, it is a worth one's attention.How is the 2014 Rotonde de Cartier Earth And Moon Tourbillon watch novel? It uses the round window on the dial meant for displaying the tourbillon as also the moon for the moon phase indicator. The system is rather simple, and visible on demand only. Upon pressing the pusher at 4 o'clock a disc moves out from under the 4 o'clock indicator to pass over part of all of the tourbillon window. The shape left by the

Gavox Aurora Review
Gavox is a brand we've talked about a few times here on worn&wound. Whether making Type XX inspired chronographs for the Belgian Air Force, or riffing on Marine Chronometers, Gavox has a tendency to surprise with their watches. Despite their young age as a brand, each model has achieved something new and different, and frankly been very attractive both aesthetically and financially. Well, their newest watch, the Aurora, is a game changer for the brand and an industry first.On the surface, the Aurora might look like another twist on an aviator watch, but lurking inside is a movement unlike any other we've come across. It's a Soprod Mecatronic movement that was developed with Gavox to their specs and desires. So what does it do? Well on top of telling time it has seven different modes, including a chronograph and perpetual calendar to name just two. It's basically like having the functionality of a digital watch, but with an analogue layout and controls. When you switch between modes

Weight of SS Nautilus after wearing Rolex
Seriously considering a SS Nautilus, probably a 5712, and wondering if one of the things that is drawing me to add a Patek vs another Rolex, the light weight, will ultimately feel too light.The watch seems to have lots of presence, and the comfort is a plus, but will the clasp feel too small, etc. I'm probably over thinking this (as usual) but what are your thoughts? I know many of you go back and forth from PP to Rolex regularly.

Finally pulled the trigger
My first rolex was a datejust 41. I liked it but wasn't really into it that much. After I saw the pictures of the skydweller i've always wanted one but they were very difficult to get from the AD. I didn't really like the blue dial that much and prefered the blackor white dial. Finally on TRF I saw one for a small and reasonable premium to I pulled the trigger and traded the DJ for it. I have a AP15400 black dial so white is perfect. Long story short, while researching the skydweller on this site, I got caught by the daytona bug. After much deliberation between a white/black/wg one, finally decided to get the black dial. Just got it in yesterday and it looks fantastic.To be perfectly honest, I'm not a huge Rolex fan as I'm still much more of a dress watch person, so these will probably remain my only two rolexes for a long time to come. Thanks TRF for this wonderful experience since this was my first time buying watches from non-ADs and first time trading as well. Every bit the pleasu
