Harry Winston Histoire de Tourbillon 3 Watch
Welcome to the third installment of the Historie de Tourbillon watch collection from Harry Winston. These pieces have always amused and entertained me. For instance, when they came out with the first Historie de Tourbillon watch here I compared it to Star Wars droids. This third piece is something altogether new but retains the conceptual focus on complex tourbillons and the visualization thereof.For me the design of this watch looks like a combination of MB&F (HM2) and DeWitt. Each combing together with some Harry Winston in a sort of "wants to be, but isn't quite Opus way." Harry Winston got its claim to fame via the famed Opus collection that asked independent watch makers to create special limited edition series for the brand. While continuing the Opus collection Harry Winston has also furthered their own creative spirit with wild high-end pieces in other collections. They are cool, but they still look up to "Uncle Opus" for approval and inspiration.The Historie de Tourbillon 3

New Photos of my SMP
I finally got around to taking some test watch shots with my new Nikon P80. Were the first ones of my Rolex watches? Nope - the Omega!I think they turned out okay for a first try...

Steel and Rose Gold Nautilus
Just picked up a PP 2013 Collection catalog and saw a photo of the new for 2013 reference 5980/1AR-001 Steel and Rose Gold Nautilus. I'm not a fan of that look on the Nautilus, maybe it looks better live. Anybody out there seen one? Is this the first modern times steel and gold men's watch from PP? Curious as to what you think about this model.

How many Rolex collectors own a Panerai?
Just wanted to see how many of you Rolex enthusiasts also have a Panerai in their collection. Been itching to add a PAM 233 as of late. I used to be a huge Panerai fan a few years back but flipped them all as the big watch trend died down. For those of you who currently own a Panerai(s), does it still get much wrist time? I dress mostly smart casual to work, dress shirt and slacks, and I am a bit concerned a PAM would look inappropriate. Would love to hear your thoughts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

soooooo i received a package in the post today (and yes i'm sorry for the crappy iphone photos)The new panerai 514 47mm steel 1940 case with the hand wound p3000 movement. First impression, suddenly it's panerai almost making a sensible normalish watch.I tend to wear only the 47mm models (with one exception) so here it is with the rest of the collectionFor a 47mm panerai it's thin, here is it compared to the 448the 372and the 368Also the face is the same size as the 448, i was expecting it to much more similar to the 372 as the cases are a similar designWhen i first saw the press release photos, i wasn't that impressed, i didn't like the date, i wasn't sure about the subdial. But actually what they've made is a very wearable everyday panerai, something with all the grace and simple design of panerai but in a more usual format. I suspect this is going to become my everyday wear to the office watch.The interesting bit is the strap changing, for the 1940 models, panerai has going over to
