Hands-On: The Cle de Cartier Women's Collection
It is not news that Cartier released their new collection, Clé de Cartier, earlier this year. HODINKEE actually did a wonderful review on the men's collection in February – however I want to further explore the women’s pieces in the collection. 1 OF 11 You may have noticed that women’s watches are having a moment. With brands focusing the majority of their marketing towards attracting female buyers, women are wearing watches more than ever. Additionally, fashion editorials are featuring wristwatches in more advertisements and accessory spreads than in previous years, and not just women’s watches, men's watches – think pink-gold AP Royal Oaks and Panerais. 2 OF 11 Cartier is one of the most influential and recognizable brands in the industry and has a rich history of producing classic women’s watches. The chances are very high that Cartier was the first watch brand that you ever heard of – that or Rolex

Jumbo Chamfers
Guys, Most of my posts are on the vintage Rolex side - I have always been a case and chamfers guy. I just recd this 16 mil Jumbo and am over the moon excited with the wide flat chamfers. The dial needs to be replaced but the case (for me) makes it a keeper.

What am I missing?
I think this is a complete collection: casual, smart casual, dressWhat say ye?

My First Panerai - Pam 610
Dear fellows,Yesterday I ordered my first Panerai, 610, from an AD. I'm excited and will post a couple pics when it comes this week, but a quick question..I searched here.. But, there isn't much posting or talk around 610 that looks like 610 is not a popular watch here.. Does anyone know why?? Is it just too old or too plain perhaps?

Bahamas trip and John Bull visit
We went on a short 3 day cruise in addition to a day at the magic kingdom so I had a chance to visit the John Bull main store. Of course, no sports models, etc. Lots of DJs and DDs and several Daytonas on rubber strap. I inquired about subs, gmts, etc and the nice lady said they have them all on order, but are completely out company wide. No big surprise there.I did, however, try on the platona for the first time. Ooooh, that watch is nice!Enclosed is a photo of the zen place I reached over the weekend in the Bahamas.
