Cabestan Trapezium Watch
Trapezium is a word that sounds both geometric and acrobatic. Does that mean it is both difficult to compute and perform? Yes. Those adjectives more than likely define this new watch by Cabestan well. The new Trapezium is an evolved version of their famous Winch Tourbillon Vertical watch and is the brainchild of Cabestan's own (and very talented) Eric Coudray.Among other things Coudray is the guy behind the Jaeger-LeCoultre Gyrotourbillon. He thrives in producing highly complex, highly accurate tiny machines that few other people can make. Using the same principles as the Winch Tourbillon Vertical, the Trapezium offers a drum and fusee & chain system (with tourbillon) for telling the time and making the watch operate. Compared to the original, I believe that the overall system actually works better here, and the name of the Trapezium comes form the case itself. What is that all about?

The new Graham Monumental Tourbillon watch
The new Graham Monumental Tourbillon watch, respecting the tradition, demonstrates the tourbillon found on the case back. It is presented in a 2.5cm-in-diameter oversize frame. Keeping in mind the original construction, the double barrel system offers an advantage of a 40-hour power-reserve.
Poll- Patek AC

5167 vs 5164 - thicker? heavier?
Hey guys, most threads about the two aquanauts refer to the 5164 being slightly heavier and thicker. Since it's been difficult to find them both out in the wild - does any know how much thicker and heavier? Or is it so small, it's negligent? I know a couple of people on the forum have both - what are your thoughts? Did you get the 5167 as a daily wearer and the 5164 more for business and travel?
Buying a 114060 for the 97200
Has anyone else bought a sub for it's bracelet? With my current lineup I don't think I would wear it too often but switch the bracelet onto the BLNR which at present gets no wrist time due to the bracelet being or too big or too small (glidelock has spoiled me), added bonus would be no PCL's.Have tried just sourcing a 97200 but that seems to be impossible. Sub on a nato strap might also get more wrist time come summer, only upside as I see it.
