Review: Techn�� Sparrowhawk II
The Techn�� Sparrowhawk II stands out in the inexpensive chronograph market. It is a well-executed aviator with sharp styling, great build quality and the added perk of an interesting movement at its heart. At $269 one does not usually expect something unique, but Techn�� manages to pull it off. The aviator market is fairly saturated, with offerings from brands across the price spectrum, from Timex to Steinhart to Bell & Ross. It's a look that does not change very much from brand to brand, but the Sparrowhawk II achieves something refined, that is clearly an aviator, yet not derivative. ?Combine this with the Meca-Quartz chronograph within and you can begin to see how the Sparrowhawk II is more that just an affordable watch, it's genuinely innovative.Case: PVD Coated 316L Surgical Stainless SteelMovement: Seiko VK63 Meca-Quartz ChronographDial: Black w/ Off-White indexesLens: Mineral w/ AR coatingCase Back: ScrewdownStrap: Khaki CanvasWater Res.: 100mDimensions: 41.5mmThickness: 11.7

Steel Bracelet or Rubber Diver Strap? Which first?
I've been planning to get a rubber diver strap for my fairly new RO Offshore 42mm Grey Themes, honestly since before I bought it. Same goes for the steel bracelet but I figured I could do that down to road to spice things if ever the honeymoon phase end.So after looking into the parts, the strap, buckle and optional plots, are all more expensive than I'd expected. Although still not exactly near the cost of the bracelet, still significant.I have a couple options for pre-owned bracelets $1500-1800. The rubber strap and buckle brand new will run about $750 plus tax (without plots).So do you veterans and newbies as well, have any advice on which route to take first?Here's my watch for reference. Thanks all! :)

Omega and "Limited" Editions
I have always been a fan on Omega watches, but is seems more often than not they are coming up with more and more limited editions to the point where I'm not sure they are doing themselves a favor. While the number of units produced for each addition seems limited, the sheer number of different limited editions Omega puts out is almost mind boggling...Just curious what others think...1.) Does Omega put out too many limited editions?2.) In your opinion, what are the top 3 most sought after LE from Omega?Look forward to hearing people's thoughts!

3 really RARE Patek pieces
The question, if you could have one of these 3.... which one would you pickAnd telling us 'WHY' you would pick the first, second or third might be interestingAs you'll see these 3 are rare but not ultra complicated.-1-The 5070 in platinumAs Always, no official number, nobody know how many they made but we know the were extremely hard to get and they were only made 6 till 12 months. It was the last of the 5070 series which was in any metal a sought after piece. The red / white / yellow were made 4 years per color. The platinum like said less than 1 year.-2-The 5711 in platinumThey made a few dozen for the boutiques but it will go into regular production. BUT it will be very limited production. How many per year? nobody knows.Nice and stealth but expensive for an entry Patek movement with no complications-3-The 5131 Enamel cloisson�� world timer. Already a few years in production, available in yellow or white gold. But then again, probably no more the 30 till 50 pieces per year.
