Introducing: The Frederique Constant Manufacture Perpetual Calendar, A Full Perpetual Calendar Under
If we had to pick one trend that seems to most characterize Baselworld 2016, it'd probably be the pursuit of better value for consumers – or at least, the attempt to create for consumers the impression that watches can offer better value, relative to the competition. One of the most notable manifestations of this direction was the Manufacture Perpetual Calendar – a full perpetual calendar, developed and made in-house, by Frederique Constant, which will cost under CHF 10,000 at launch.

Waterproofing capability with an unscrewed crown (ROO)

It did not appear that there was any water ingress to the naked eye after considerable squinting. Also placed the watch in the fridge face down, to lower the case temperature as I was thinking if there was gonna be any condensation, I should see it. Nothing turned up either. My question is: With the crown not screwed down, is there a basic level of water ingress protection built in? I was googling earlier and understand that Rolex has this protective device though not officially acknowledged. Any of you guys have similar experiences to share or perhaps know the insides of the watch well enough? If it helps, its a F series Black Themes.Thanks for reading.

Just Curious
Hello All,I'm curious to find out which dial most people prefer and why on the AP ROC 26300. I'm considering this chrono but they are hard to come by. My preference is the white first and than the blue dial second. Please post your pics if you have one. Unfortunately I've never had the luxury of seeing one in person. Also, don't forget to vote. Thanks in advance.

Patek 5711 for the new Daytona?
Should I trade my Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 for the new Rolex Daytona? I don't seem to wear my Patek much but I am afraid I may miss it. I am just wondering which piece is more sought after ?
