Editorial: Cara's Favorite Watches From Baselworld 2016
This year was my very first Baselworld, and it was incredible. Despite being jet-lagged and hungry most of the time, the rush of running around and seeing all the new releases was really invigorating. We met with numerous brands from Rolex to Ressence and everything in between, all with very different offerings. Here are my top five favorite watches from Baselworld 2016. 1. Rolex Cosmograph Daytona In Black 1 OF 6 As much of a predictable cliché as this choice may seem, this watch was truly awesome to behold in person. Literally everyone at Baselworld (okay, maybe not everyone, but the entire HODINKEE team) was talking about this watch. And even though I like to go against the trend, I just couldn't help myself with this one. Both black and white dial versions were shown, but given the choice, I would definitely go for the all-black version with black Cerachrom bezel. It's just a super cool watch and even though it is 40 mm, it wears well on my wrist

Is the Volcano 42mm or 44mm?
Are the Volcano and the diver the same size? I see the volcano listed both 42 and 44mm

Thinking of making the move from Rolex to AP.... Thoughts?
Hey TRF,I've always appreciated the opinions from you guys and how helpful TRF can be Well, long story short I'm thinking of buying my first AP! I've always been a Rolex guy and have never owned any other swiss watch, but after selling my 116710 GMT2c, I'm thinking about buying the SS AP Diver. I've really been longing for a strap watch, especially here in Hawaii here the humidity can really make wearing an un-adjustable watch uncomfortable from the cool mornings to hot afternoons, and the AP Diver seems to complement my lifestyle being in the ocean and swimming quite a bit. I've done some research, but I just wanted to ask some questions and hear your thoughts:- I know and have read that the Diver wears bigger than 42mm which is a concern for me, as my wrists are around 6.3-6.4 inches. I'm 6 feet tall, but a more slender build at 180 lbs. I've always thought that 40mm is my limit for watches as I don't want to own something that will overwhelm my wrist, but I've realllllly been lustin

AP diver has broached the surface
This is what happens when you have Dalip and Hal (Submarino) uploading pictures to TRF. I think my wife is going to put a limit on how many times I visit this site per month. LOL Big thanks to John Batista for such a smooth transactions.

Vintage Omega shopping
Hello all,I was out and about today and ran across a little vintage watch shop with a great selection of Omegas.I really like the Seamaster Chronograph and the Chronostop, which has an original Omega leather strap and deployant. I'm not sure of the actual value of either.They both need a good service/cleaning, but otherwise they are in great shape.They also had the Speedmaster 125! That thing is a beast! Any opinions on these? I apologize for the crappy cell phone pics....[IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]
