Sinn U200 B (EZM 8) Limited Edition Diver With Blue Dial
Sinn U200B on strapThere are two things about this watch that make it worth sharing. First off, the limited-edition galvanized matte blue dial. Normally sold in black, this version (ref EZM 8) is only available through December 31, 2013. Secondly, despite having a full 2000m (over a mile!) depth rating, the U200 is a svelte 37mm case.In what I think is a first for Sinn, it's sold with a matching blue and white NATO strap.Sinn U200B on NatoOne more of that combo:Sinn U200B on NatoNATOs aren't my favorite, but they're super popular and inexpensive, and an easy way to change your look. I do quite like that Sinn is getting a tiny bit bolder with color. This is a versatile and attractive look. The watch comes with both silicone and NATO along with tool to change them, and I can vouch that authorized dealers sell Sinn bracelets (around $400) if you want one.On the size, 37mm is usually labelled as "mid-size" for brands that make them, e.g. Omega Seamaster. Personally, I find that 37mm is an

Thoughts On The Confrerie Horlogere La Clef du Temps Tourbillon Watch
I have been pondering how I should think about this watch for a while. I want to like it, and a big part of me does. Another part of me questions the wisdom of the watch. Is it wearable? Does it makes sense? Would you be considered akin to an alien from outer space for wearing one? The watch is a new piece from the Confrerie Horlogere, a watch making arm of the popular watch movement maker BNB Concept (that is about the declare bankruptcy). The model is the La Clef du Temps Tourbillon, and there will only be 24 of them ever made. Apparently one for each timezone. One of these watches was auctioned off in the Only Watch 2009 watch auction in September for well over $200,000 which was close to its retail price. As a limited edition of just 24 pieces, the watch can justify itself. Still, I feel the need to evaluate it as though they were going to me 24,000 of them.One this that strikes me as beingwell curious to say that least, is that this isn't the only watch that has this movement.

26401RO owners
Here we go again. So a while back i posted a thread asking a 26320OR owner with a short bracelet to meet up with me so i can try on the watch to see how it felt. A stainless 39mm owner met up with me and i pulled the trigger on the 26320OR on bracelet. Now i want to see if there is a 26401 owner with a SHORT RUBBER STRAP that wants to meet me so i can feel the weight of the watch/how it feels on my wrist. I keep hearing that changing the strap of the watch from regular to short makes a significant difference on how it sits/feels/it's top heavy weight. If anyone is up for it i'm willing to meet you at the AP Boutique and take you to lunch after. ANYONE? ANYONE?!?!?!?!?EDIT: Anyone with a 44 & 42 ROO that has a picture of them side by side on a desk/floor? The 44 bug got me in Miami this weekend at the AP Master Watchmaking Class :(

Came into a speedmaster auto reduced, got a question.
Hey guys picked up a speedmaster automatic ( i hope reduced is correct) and the store owner didnt know much about it. Im assuming that it isnt water proof considering the crown and case back both do not screw down.. is this true? If so, exactly what would be the water resistance level of the speedmaster 'reduced' 5atm? 30? 50? Anyways thanks guys.
