Hands-On: The Montblanc Boheme Moongarden
I have never seen a watch like this before. Sure, it looks like a watch I have seen before, but when you take a close look you realize that this isn't your average calendar watch. This particular watch is called the Moongarden and it is a new addition to the Bohème, Montblanc's collection for women. What makes this watch so different you ask? Well I will get into that in a bit, but first a little background on Montblanc and their women's watches.Montblanc was founded in 1906 in Hamburg, Germany, as a pen-making company. In 1988 it became part of the Richemont group and then later in 1997 it began making watches in Le Locle, Switzerland. However, it wasn’t until 2008 when the brand began creating their own in-house movements with the caliber MB R100. With each year, Montblanc has pushed the boundaries with innovative, well-made designs that are reasonably priced (see the Meisterstück Heritage Perpetual Calendar for $13,000). This continues to be a running t

AP 15400 Water Resistance
Hi just curious how the WR holds up for current owners. Do you swim with your 15400? Or would you ever? I am a little surprised that it is only 50m with a screw down crown. Many other brands provide for 200m with a screw down crown and sapphire case back. I hope to see this watch in my future and while I do not plan to go diving with it I would like to know it could withstand a gentle dip in a pool? Many thanks for your comments.

SMP America's Cup?
I visited a watch dealer today and found one of these on display. It wasn't in the best condition, but not bad at all. The bezel had a few scratches as does the bracelet (which can easily be polished out). All the papers/box are included. The guy was willing to trade me with my newly aquired 2254.50 plus 500$. I love the chrono and I like this even more because it's the America's Cup Edition. The dial looks better with it. om135.jpgShould I go for it?

Which reference(s) is the 'must have' PAM?
It gets banded around that every Rolex collection 'must have' a Submariner. Personally, I find that difficult to disagree with; it's an iconic watch and a pretty awesome piece.Now, in your opinion, which reference should no Panerai enthusiast be without? If need be, break it down to one each from the Luminors and Radiomirs

Maybe a Noob guestion about the Sea Dweller DeepSea
Hello,After reading a lot of threads about the Rolex Sea Dweller Deep sea I still have a question about the bracelet that comes with the Deep Sea. I hope that you can help me out. Is it correct that all the Sea Dweller Deep Sea models after the first intriduction in 2008 have the glidelock function on the bracelet?Was there an update on the bracelet and which year was it? I am looking for a mint DeepSea and I am wondering which one I shoud buy somewhere in 2018 Any tips? I know that the dial was changed several times and to be honest I don't have a favourite version at the moment, but maybe your tips will change that. ;-)I am aware of the fact that the DeepSea is huge but I am used to big watches because I have an 8.1wrist and I already own several Panerai's and a IWC Big Pilot 5004. When I had the DeepSea on my wrist a few weeks ago it felt awsome and not big at all.ThanksBartThe Netherlands
