Nominees Announced For the 2010 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Geneve Watch Awards
The Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Geneve is the Swiss watch making industry's award night (though not all the nominees are Swiss brands) celebrating and awarding the previous year's most interesting watches in a few categories. The awards are slanted to high-end timepieces, but there is a category for timepieces that are more entry level at just a few thousand dollars.The Grand Prix categories are: best men's watch, best ladies watch, best design concept watch, best jewelery watch, best complicated watch, best sport watch, and a category called "Best Small Hand" which I believe is for the best watch under a certain price.Check out the list of nominees here, and please to comment with your personal picks for the best watches below. The GPGH will be held on November 18th, 2010.
AP ROC w/ exhibition back?
Does such a watch exist? If not, is the movement as highly decorated as the exhibition back version found in the regular RO with c. 3120?Thanks in advance.
Any of you Patek owners vintage Rolex collectors also?
I was all ready to pull the trigger on my first Patek this week. Well the offer fell through and a friend of mine said I really need to give vintage Rolex a try. He says, New watches are cold and lifeless. I said if my Patek deal feel through, I'd give it a shot. Well, deal fell through and I half committed to a vintage Rolex (1675). (based on condition, paperwork, etc, but it is apparently very top condition - not rare however).Well, now the Patek deal is back on the table as previous buyer backed out (briefly I'm sure). So, any Patek fans here also vintage Rolex guys? I have a 16610 and a 116610lv. Should I go entry Patek first or mid-tier vintage Rolex. If I go Patek, I have to back out of my Rolex agreement, but I it would not be end of the world.
my NOS 337
I haven't posted in awhile. I had a Pam69 for about a year. I bought it just to have a Pam in my collection. I didn't wear it much because my attitude was meh.then, an AD showed me this 337 with its perfect symmetry 42mm case, time only dial, and sandwich lume. now I get the PAM fanaticism, and it's become my dailywearer. old dogs can learn new tricks.
New Shoes For My Luminor Submersible
Taking inspiration from Volvo's thread, I picked up my own OEM 24/22 125/75 Ranger strap. I love the finish and thickness. I know the Absoluttamente strap is the hot option right now, but the Ranger strap looks great on the rugged PAM 24. I had been thinking about getting another strap for awhile now but it was not until recently that I learned that this option could be sourced at 24/22 width.
