Baume & Mercier Clifton Chronograph Complete Calendar (Updated with Live Photo and Prices)
Baume & Mercier launched its Clifton collection of men’s watches in 2013, and has been adding models to it in subsequent years. The latest Baume & Mercier Clifton, which debuts this week at SIHH, is the collection’s most complicated watch to date, combining two functions found in previous models, a chronograph and complete calendar.The Baume & Mercier Clifton Chronograph Complete Calendar, like all models in the Clifton collection, takes its design cues from the brand’s Golden Fifties watches, vintage pieces from the 1950s that are now preserved at the Baume & Mercier museum in Switzerland. Its 43-mm-diameter steel case has both polished and satin finishing and scratch-resistant sapphire crystals in the front and back. The elegantly balanced layout of the tricompax dial features blued steel hands (a hallmark of the collection) for the chronograph counter hands, a red-tipped pointer hand for the date, and subdials at 12, 6, and 9 o’clock.

Anyone with the newer 39.7mm Speedmaster..?
I am curious if anyone has acquired the 39.7mm speedmaster that looks a lot like the vintage speedmaster. The 42mm speedmaster wears too large for me. Other omega users have told me I should avoid the 38mm 3510 speedmaster.The 39.7 size could be a perfect fit- requesting wrist shots from my fellow collectors...

complete set
somehow im thinking. i dont think the watch deserves to be in the group...maybe the g shock would fit in better. what do you think?

The Pilot Has Landed---5524G Incoming!!!
I waited over a year for this, last week my AD called and said get your ducks in a row, its on the way. So, a quick one hour flight from LA to the Bay Area and it was on my wrist. First impressions, the watch oozes Patek quality, sits flat on my wrist and is very comfortable (will be better with a short strap arriving in a few days), seems light weight after wearing my platinum 5905P, is very legible, and the finishing on the movement is really well done. Something that will take getting used to, the rotor noise is really loud, in fact it's the noisiest watch I've ever seen or heard. Here a couple pictures, more to follow.
