Grand Seiko Anniversary Limited Edition Comes to the U.S. Market
At Baselworld Seiko officially launched three limited edition Grand Seiko timepieces as a part of the brand’s 130th Anniversary Commemorative Collection. All three models house a newly developed mechanical hand-winding movement, and all three will come to the U.S., market, albeit in very small numbers. Find pricing and wallpaper inside. The design of this limited edition pays faithful homage to the now-collectible original Grand Seiko model from 1960.Until last year, Grand Seiko was available only in Japan and a very limited number of retail locations elsewhere, but now enthusiasts in over 20 major countries are discovering Seiko’s finest timepieces.The caliber in these timepieces, 9S64, is entirely new.

Audemars Piguet outdid themselves for 2017 in the ROO collection.
The 2017 SIHH offerings were exceptional and I had to be a part of it.First off, the new 26401RO subtly overtook the old generation. I was in denial since I owned the previous model.

Excited its 5711nally arrived... !
Finally got the call late last week! Big thanks to the members on the forum who helped convince me to pull the trigger & buy the 5711 blue dial 'sight unseen'.

My local dealer was a hero getting me bumped up his list a few months ahead of my wedding .. and even gave a 10% discount to retail as a special present! Guess he knows he'll see ALL my business going forward! Thanks for the support guys - glad to finally be part of the club.. my first non-rolex piece! PS - new member alert-- i'll have to figure out how to rotate pictures going forward! sorry!

It is so scary to wear my Rolex in NYC subways!
So to be safe, I wear my Patek 3970P and 3970J. What about you guys? Which part of your city or which country makes you feel unsafe wearing your Rolex?
