Pre-Basel: New Maurice Lacroix Pontos Chronographe
Maurice Lacroix has started releasing information about their upcoming Baselworld 2013 collection. They will be debuting two watches each week leading up to the start of BaselWorld. This week kicks off with two new models within their very successful Pontos range of elegant but sporty automatic chronographs. The Pontos is arguably Maurice Lacroix's most recognizable model, and rightfully so, as they have managed to design a watch that looks distinctive without being especially boisterous or ostentatious.The new models, ref 6188 and 6288, are both powered by the Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph movement which has been adjusted to three positions and features cotes de geneve decoration. The 7750 allows for sub seconds, a thirty minute register, and a 12 hour register with the chronograph seconds being displayed centrally. With 43mm stainless steel cases, these new Pontos' are nicely sized and are equipped with an anti-reflective front sapphire crystal as well as a sapphire display case

Any reason this can't be a daily wear??
Hello everyone here at TRF! Earlier this week I took my 5960P out of the safe and put it on the wrist. My intent was just to wear it for a day or so and then put it back away for safekeeping. But a funny thing happened....the longer it was on my wrist, the more I truly loved wearing it.Sure, it's a little heavy, crazy expensive, and lacks a proper degree of water resistance, but the dimensions are perfect and it just feels so right on the wrist. So, is there any reason why it couldn't or shouldn't be a daily wear?

Tudor BBN ETA finally
16 years since I got my first Rolex (a sub date) and I never paid attention its little brother Tudor. well until very recently. Multiple readings on the BB finally made me decide to find a black bezel version, the classic. Turned out it was very hard to find one but eventually I did thanks to the help of a close friend. A BBN ETA on leather, mint condition and with full accessories. Will give it some wrist time to test out how it lives up to the hype.
