SIHH 2014 Preview: 3 New Chronographs From Baume & Mercier Clifton Collection
Next year’s SIHH watch fair in Geneva is still nearly two months away, but the watch brands exhibiting there have already begun to offer sneak previews of their new timepieces. The first to do so is Baume & Mercier, which has released info and photos of three new chronographs in its recently introduced Clifton collection.The first chronograph model in the 1950s-inspired Clifton collection (which thus far has included only a three-hand model with small seconds and a “Complete Calendar” model with moon-phase) has a 43-mm case and a self-winding mechanical movement from ETA. The case has polished and satin finishes and has a scratch-resistant anti-glare crystal and an exhibition caseback secured by four screws. It is water-resistant to 50 meters.The dial features a sun satin finish and either blued steel or golden hands. The Arabic numerals and indices are either silver-colored (in the model with blued hands) or gold-colored (in the two models with golden hands). The

15300 or 15400
Hello All,Now that my Panda is on the way, (should be here tomorrow) I figure why not start shopping for AP number 2. I originally was contemplating the Rolex DJ 116234 fluted bezel with oyster bracelet and black dial, but at 36mm I find it just a touch too small. In fact, if Rolex made a 39mm DJ I'd be all over it. The DJ II is just too big, with that massive fluted bezel staring right at you. Yes I know, they make a rounded bezel, but I'm not a big fan. Now that I've fallen for AP, I'm really liking the 15300 or 15400. So here we go. Cast your vote, and let's see who favours what, and why? Pics are always welcome. Thanks in advance.

Will sword hands fit a PO?
Just curious if anyone knows if sword hands (from a 2254.50 for example) will fit perfectly with a PO 8500?Thanks!

Second watch the hardest?
Well here’s the problem. Bought an Explorer over a year ago and love it. When I tried it on for the first time I knew straight away that I wanted it. Now I’m looking for my second watch and it’s oroving difficult!Been all over the place. Thought about saving for a Patek 5196 but decided it probably wouldn’t stand up to daily wear. Currently tossing up between a Datejust 126334 (Fluted, Jubilee, silver dial) and a Sub 114060. I tend towards the more formal so like the size of the DJ but it does wear similarly to my Explorer. The Sub feels HUGE, but maybe I’m just used to a 39mm watch?Everyone has something different they’re looking at in a watch. For me I love that a Rolex will last forever. Probably the main thing I think of is being able to pass a watch down to my newborn twin boys. So, any thoughts on these two?Cheersps. Sorry about the small photos, can’t figure out how to post full size images
