Hands-On: The Cartier Tourbillon Mysterieux Azure Pendant Watch (Live Pics, Full Specs, And Pricing)
"When the commissionaire had gone, Holmes took up the stone and held it against the light. It’s a bonny thing,' said he. 'Just see how it glints and sparkles. Of course it is a nucleus and focus of crime. Every good stone is. They are the devil’s pet baits. In the larger and older jewels every facet may stand for a bloody deed. This stone is not yet twenty years old. It was found in the banks of the Amoy River in southern China and is remarkable in having every characteristic of the carbuncle, save that it is blue in shade instead of ruby red. In spite of its youth, it has already a sinister history.'"  – Sherlock Holmes: The Adventure Of The Blue Carbuncle 1 OF 9 This might seem a rather ominous way to start off a look at one of the most spectacular objects we saw at the Salon this year: the Cartier Tourbillon Myst��rieux Azur��, a gem-set pendant tourbillon watch, and a unique piece.

Purchasing first AP
Hey guys, I'm fairly new to this forum, though I'm more active over at WUS. Anyway, I'm looking to purchase my first AP. Particularly, one of the new 26470. As I haven't seen one in person and there are no dealers near me, I'm trying to choose based on photos. Basically I'm looking for one I can wear daily. My office is business casual so usually I'm wearing khakis and a button down shirt or polo in the summer months. I'm torn between the navy, the grey/black, and the safari. I've got a BLNR and the blue on it works fine so I'm leaning towards the navy. But the black on my Sub also works in any situation. I'm looking for opinions on which color you think would match the best with my daily attire and office setting plus a more casual setting on the weekends. Thanks

I kinda like this 3594.50
I know my heart tells me that I should go for the tried and true 3570.50, but there's something about this one I really like. What do you guys think?.bernardwatch/watch/OMG1953ImageUploadedByTapatalk1347804680.066681.jpgOmega : Speedmaster '1957 ReEdition'Reference: 3594.50

Ploprof 1200 arrived
I am a big fan of the Ploprof 1200 both as an everyday casual watch and because of it's place in the history of dive watches. I owned a Ploprof 1200 about 2 years ago and loved it but I was made an offer that I could not refuse to sell it! It is great to have one in my collection again. I like the way it looks on the oem orange rubber strap although I plan to wear it on the oem mesh bracelet. The Ploprof replaced the Rolex SDDS that I was wearing everyday.
