Hands-On: The Piaget Limelight Stella
Last week Jack wrote about the new Piaget Emperador Coussin XL 700P, Piaget’s major new release at SIHH 2016. In addition to this crazy skeletonized hybrid electromechanical watch, Piaget released some major women’s watches as well. The brand is actually better-known for its women’s watches and made a name for its high jewelry watches starting in the 1960s (see my article on Piaget cuff watches). For SIHH this year, Piaget released the Limelight Stella with moon phase, which is the most complicated in-house-designed women’s watch ever made in the brand’s history. 1 OF 9 The Limelight Stella features a new caliber 584P that Piaget tells us is entirely designed and made completely in-house, with another caliber (580P) designed for the haute joaillerie version that does not have center seconds, in order to show off the diamond-setting. The automatic winding movement has a 42-hour power reserve, minutes, hours, center seconds, and the moon-phase

Happy birthday to me
Something you guys would like here ...my favourite watch and a birthday cake to go with it

Seamaster Deep Black
I'm not an Omega fan; my bestie at home has a few and I have to be honest and say that I don't really like any of the ones he has. However, since seeing Dave (DCheeta) sporting a Deep Black in this sub-forum a few months ago, I've been looking at it more and more. It's really blown my right skirt up.I've read more times than I care to remember that Omegas are usually better bought pre-loved because the prices don't fare too well in the used market.I can pick one up from an AD here, brand new, at 20% discount. Is that a good price or is it worth waiting for them to filter onto the used market? I'm picking up another Panerai next month so I'm in no rush

Another one
So Im mousing around on david sw's web site today. My new sub gets here tomorrow.

Explorer II Polar discount?
I made a stop at an AD and was looking at an Explorer II Polar watch. I had never been at the store before. Without asking, I was offered a 12% discount. Is this a common discount for Explorer II's?
