Bill Paxton Wears IWC Aquatimer Chrono-Automatic Watch In Big Love Season 3
It took me the better part of season three so far to spot this watch. I knew that earlier seasons of Big Love (on HBO) had Bill Paxton (playing as character Bill Henrickson) wearing an Omega Speedmaster. This was likely out of his own collection. Season three sees him wearing something similar looking on camera (both steel with black and white faces), but a different watch. I eventually decided that it was an IWC Aquatimer Chrono-Automatic. It look a lot of pausing and staring to figure this out (trust me). This is a good choice for a man with three wives, and a ton of duties on his plate. When he is not "living the principle" the character acts as a strong businessman and Salt Lake City responsible citizen!I haven't seen him dive into water too many times (no one dives in the Great Salt Lake right?), but the IWC Aquatimer is a great choice for a multi-duty classy yet rugged watch. The IWC Aquatimer Chrono-Automatic is a modern IWC diving watch with an automatic Valjoux 7750 movement i

Introducing The Girard-Perregaux 1966 Collection Limited Editions With Enamel Dial
Today, we bring you three Girard-Perregaux 1966 Limited Editions with Enamel Dial. The art of enameling isn’t new to HODINKEE readers. We’ve covered it in cloissoné on models such as this from Laurent Ferrier, and recently brought you the RGM PS801 Baseball in Enamel that is manufactured stateside. In short, we have great respect for this craft, which is why we’re excited to announce Girard-Perregaux’s new and exceedingly top-notch offerings in it.If you’re the type of watch-lover who prefers rare complications to rare artistry, just know that when it comes to volume, enamel work makes exotic repeaters and tourbillons routine in comparison. And because most enamel pieces sell out pre-release, most of us will never see one outside the margins of this publication. Having shed that tear, let’s move on to why the Girard Perregaux 1966 models are a step in the right direction.Caution: Article assumes a very artistic tone hereafter. In case of emerg

I've had an AP itch to scratch for a while now, having been a keen admirer of this style of watch for quite some time however a combination of lack of watch box space and not being able to find one at the right price and the right condition meant a fairly long wait to realise a desire. Fast forward 6+ months, endless hours scouring the net, visiting shops and bumping WTB's I had almost given up hope....then out of the blue one pops up briefly on another forum ticking all the boxes and of course I miss it by a couple of hours....isn't it always the way. Anyways what was meant to be was meant to be as a couple of weeks later a chance random email was received and less than 12 hours later and this puppy was mine. Incidentally, it happens to be the same one I missed on the forum. It's a funny old game this...So what did we pick up, well it's a white dial reference 15300 (15300ST.OO.1220ST.01 to be precise but what's a couple of extra letters between friends). True to the original Royal Oak

Got my 5960/1a !!
It took some perseverance but it's well worth it!!The piece is gorgeous. Yes a bit blingy for a PP but the dial is amazingly legible and the movement is a beautyI'll post up more pics soon!Really excited about this one!ImageUploadedByTapatalk1416440808.746666.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1416440819.117832.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1416440829.723224.jpg
