Fiona Kr��ger Memento Mori Skull Watch
There are skull watches and then there are skull watches like this. Looking like a Mexican "Day of the Dead special" (Dia de Los Muertos), this mechanical skull-shaped watch is full of personality and design talent. Right now it is a one-of-a-kind watch, but there are plans for production in the near future. The watch was designed by Fiona Kr��ger while she was a design student at the ECAL school in Switzerland (University of art and design Lausanne). Apparently I need to credit both her and the school as she designed the watch while there."Memento Mori" isn't a name that hasn't been used before, but a design like this is cool and unique. The watch case is literally shaped like a skull. This one has been hand-engraved in solid sterling silver (also the crown). Not sure of the size, but it does not look too small or too large. Interesting touches include the traditional style blued-steel hands and aviator style crown. That combo looks inspired from Peter Speake Marin if you ask me.The di
I think it's her turn
I think the next watch may be for the wife (errrrr). She likes these ROs that are about 30mm and basically look just like a 39mm/41mm RO, like this. Seems like they don't make them this simple anymore (i.e. no diamonds) and with a bracelet rather than strap. Which websites should I keeps tabs on for something like this -- a site that's trusted and reliable?
Spick and Span

Stepping into the PP gateway
Hi everyone, I have recently been looking into PP as they are fascinating watches. I am a huge fan of the Nautilus line, and I also do like the complications that they offer. As entry into uncharted waters, I would love to hear some opinions since it seems like everyone in this sub forum is far past this stage in their horological journey. I apologize in advance if my thread is a bit dull. While I love the Nautilus', the 5170p moves mountains for me, but the price range would slow me down a bit in obtaining one. I also do not have an AC or a GMT for that fact, so everything is pretty much open game. I currently have an AP chronograph that I feel is worth mentioning. The watches in question are:5726 black dial59905170pAs this is an entry move for me, should I move in with a nautilus, or should I just hold off until I am ready for the 5170p? Granted that the 5170p would be a heavy favor against a single Nautilus, would I be missing out on the nautilus line in terms of AC/GMT/bracelet/etc
One day maybe...
Was at an AD in NH today to get a bracelet sized on my Sub ND and had the opportunity to try this on...wow after feeling the weight of the platinum, the SS Sub felt dinky!!
