F.P. Journe Vagabondage II Watch
Fantastic new watch from F.P. Journe, I am enthralled. I was not so involve with the first Vagabondage watch, but this Vagabondage II timepiece is a damn good little number. Careful before judging it. You really need to understand where this watch is coming form. Check out all the little details in the design, understand the concept behind the digital display for the hours and minutes, appreciate the "open" nature of the dial, and I think you'll agree that it is a winner. I am not a fan of every timepiece from the brand, but again, this one really does it for me.Two versions of the watch will be released soon in November. 69 pieces in platinum and 68 is 18k rose gold. Yes, the watch is very similar in theme to the also recently released A. Lange & Sohne Zeitwerk watch, but that is ok. I feel that the market is big enough for a few versions of this "digital mechanical" theme. While the Zeitwek is more a tuxedo friendly watch, thhe Vagabondage II is a true wrist borne machine in all

Thanksgiving
It's a holiday here in the states. A time to reflect upon our blessings.I have too many blessings to list but at the top was to hear my long lost grandson's voice on the phone today and know that he is alive and will be spending some time with his mom and dad. All of you, my forum friends, are on my list as well. I'm not as active as I have been in the past but I am always checking up on you all.

5164 lug to lug length?
Hi,Can someone who owns 5164 confirm the lug to lug length? I can't seem to find it on the forums. My understanding is that 5167 is 46.5 mm lug to lug. Since 5164 is only 0.8 mm larger than 5167, I am assuming it should not be greater than 47.5 mm lug to lug.My wrist is 6.4 inches~ and I had the chance to try 5167 last year. It fit really nicely. Aesthetically, I prefer the 5164 over 5167 and thinking of putting a deposit down with my AD. However, I want to be absolutely sure that it will fit my wrist.Thank you

Paneria 785 set
Hi All,I mostly hang out on the Rolex side, but I do wear my 510 in rotation so I guess I'm not a total outsider. Just curious, but I have a 785 set that has been in storage for a good while. I don't think I would wear them as I bought because it was an exclusive set. Boy, the lessons we learn when just starting out, exclusive just means until the next exclusive set comes out!!!!!When I part with them, does it make any sense to offer the 2 watches separate as an option to a buyer and break up the set.The truth is, I would not mind keeping and wearing the white daylight model, as I really like the white face more than the more popular black face.I hope this is ok to post as I am not fishing but asking the experts.

DD40 PT motif dial
I have an opportunity to trade my WG Sub and BLRO for a BNIB D40 PT with glacier blue motif diagonal dial.I would need to add $4K.I am not sure if the numbers are exactly in line in terms of what I am paying but I received 27% of MSRP when I originally purchased the WG Sub and BLRO new. Don't know what to do!
