Introducing The Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic Skeleton: An Automatic Skeleton for Under $1,200
Skeletonized watches are not generally known for being wallet-friendly. All the extra engineering and handwork required to create a sturdy, beautiful, open machine drives prices upwards. But as part of their collection for Baselworld 2013, Hamilton is introducing an automatic skeleton for under $1,500 with the Jazzmaster Viewmatic Skeleton. Here's your first look.Housed in a 40mm stainless steel case is a special new skeletonized movement from ETA (a fellow Swatch Group brand) that is 100% exclusive to Hamilton. The entire package has a very 1960s vintage look to it, from the thin profile to the shape of the lugs. The lighter silver material on the dial is the "dial" itself, while the darker grey is actually the movement plates which have been integrated into the openworked dial for a multi-layer look. 2 OF 3 Viewmatic - Two Tiered Dial Made Up Of A Dial Proper And The Movement Plates Instead of going for an ornate filigreed skeleton, Hamilton has opted for the more

More than a little cliche' but I could not resist.

5951
What do you guys think of the 5951? I find it very beautiful, especially the model with the engravings, of course the price is very very hefty, around 600K, but I understand whereas I couldn't understand the 400K for the 5950, one is platinum, PC, moon phase, whereas the 5950 is steel and without PC or moon phase.Of course I would never consider getting one except if I was to become very rich, but if you need to save up 20 or more years to get a watch I would definitely have other contenders which would come before, 5204, 5213 and a few others. If I was given a choice as a present between a 5951 and a 5970 I would choose the 5951, but if I needed to pay myself would take the 5970, once again a piece that I will never have the possibility of getting but I am happy to be able to just look at it in pics 5951p-001.jpg5951_500P_001-3.png5951_500P_001-2.png

GMT BLNR Today or Wait for SS Pepsi
Looking for input here, it's something I'm seriously considering.In short, I have the opportunity to pick up a BLNR from my AD within a month's time. I could have had one last weekend but I told my sales guy that given how close we are to Basel, I just had to wait and see what happens. If the new release was going to be a Coke on jubilee, I would have ran back to him to get a BLNR as fast as possible. The Pepsi release mixes things up though.I'm already on a wait list for the Pepsi with small deposit at an AD in TX where I have some family. They wouldn't take full payment since I guess they haven't received the manifest yet and probably don't know for sure when the new GMT is coming in and how many they're getting.From my perspective, the attractive qualities of the Pepsi include:1) classic color scheme. I don't own a GMT yet -- if I were to add one to my collection, this would be a great model to have2) more fun and flashy looking than the BLNR. I have some other Rolex watches I could
