Introducing: The A. Lange & S?hne Grand Lange One Moonphase Lumen
Lange is having a break-out year at SIHH, and that's saying a lot because, you know, this is Lange. Adding to the fire is this new Grand Lange 1 Moonphase Lumen, the third open dial watch from Lange in its 21 year history. 1 OF 4 The last Lange to receive the "Lumen" treatment was at SIHH 2013 and that was a similar watch, the regular Grand Lange 1. Lange has taken this base model and given the same look to the slightly more expensive and esoteric Grande Lange 1 Moonphase, with the moonphase display being at the very center of the action here. 2 OF 4 Different from Lange’s previous moon-phase models with solid-gold lunar discs, this watch has a disc made of glass. It is first coated, and then 1,164 stars and moon are laser cut into it. Thanks to the luminous compound behind the lunar disc, the stars and moon shine when charged, giving the watch an insanely cool look in the metal.l. Once properly set, the moonphase only needs to be correct

Which Audemars Piguet Diver would you choose?
As per the title, I'm curious what's the most preferred model of Diver from all the watch buddies over here. The original Steel, the super light Forged Carbon, the mighty Black Ceramic, the audacious Tantalum/Rose gold or the snow White Ceramic. Let's get the poll started and please feel free to state the reason/comment if you have any.

Vintage Omega ploprof, in water
OK, so some of you might remember my small restoration of my Ploprof 600?I changed the seals, dial and hands myself, as well as gave it a thorough clean inside, had the date disc loose as it was sticking a bit, got that sorted.Now in Thailand, this beauty is once again in it's proper element.And final one of wifey. She didn't wear her SMP, only her dive computer.

New addition and I'm throwing in the towel (for now)
Just picked up my 5396g today, it's amazing and I really wasn't going to pick this up for another few years. When I came home tonight to take a couple of low quality photos of my collection I was quite overwhelmed. I think it's safe to say I have all I want and all I need. Time to give up on the chase and I enjoy what I have:

Missing my Sub more than I thought I would
A few weeks ago I picked up a 14060M Z-serial. It's a beautiful watch and I couldn't be happier, but it was running about +15 secs/day and had a couple of scratches on the bezel and crystal, so I wanted to get it serviced and repaired as needed. RSC said they had no record of it being serviced and there weren't any indications inside the case that it had been worked on before. It's a 10-year old watch, so it's probably time.Yesterday I dropped it off at RSC Dallas and less than 24 hours later I'm missing it on my wrist more than I thought I would. I'm currently wearing a Stowa Antea Klassik KS, which is a fine watch, but it's no 5-digit Sub, that's for sure :)No real point to this post, other than crying to you fine gents since my wife won't want to listen to me talk about how I miss a watch
