Rolex GMT-Master II Black & Blue And Rolex Daytona Platinum At Baselworld 2013
We're here at Baselworld 2013 and Rolex has shown off a couple of new model iterations including a platinum Rolex Daytona and this black and blue colored Rolex GMT-Master II. Essentially just?a new color variation of the current Rolex GMT-Master II range, this new version employs a two color cerachrom bezel insert (a first for Rolex)?in a day/night arrangement of?blue and black.Still sized to 40mm and powered by the Rolex Calibre 3186, this new model is little more than an additional color choice for buyers looking for some of that classic Pam Am panache.

Inventory Syndication

Ladies Nautilus vs. AP Royal Oak vs. ?
Its time to start thinking about the next purchase for the Missus (probably need to even up the watch count for the year before I float the next acquisition target).I'm thinking pink gold is the way to go and looking for something that is more sporty than her Twenty-4. The short-list is currently the 7011 women's Nautilus and the AP Royal Oak ladies, both bracelet versions.Which of these two would you pick? Are there any other models I should consider?
