Hands-on with the Smiths/Timefactors PRS-36
Reverso, shmeverso. ?Forget limited editor Jaegers with fake agency logos. ?If he could, Don Draper would have strapped this Timefactors' new Smiths PRS-36 to his wrist as he handed Jean his whisky and walked into his next pitch. ?Slide the ��36 out of its zipped, padded case and this watch looks to have come straight from the era of single-breasted suits, narrow ties and three Martini lunches.Making a modern watch with vintage style but without vintage schtick is a challenge, and it's one Timefactors has managed rather well. ?For a start, there's none of the modern ��let's take a classic design, ram steroids down its neck and and put a strap on it!' stuff going on (take note, Tudor). ?The 316L marine-grade stainless case is a distinctly understated 37mm. ?It's less of a shrinking violet on the wrist though – it actually feels as though it wears slightly larger than a 40mm Breitling Aerospace. ?That's mostly down the way the cushion case shoulders step down to the lugs. ?It'll stil

AP 15407ST worth the full retail price?
I ordered 15407ST from an AP boutique that should be here in a couple of months. I have seen the watch once and I thought it looked great but hate the fact I'm paying full retail price for it.

Satisfied with the novelties?
Wanted to know what you thought about this year's novelties?Went to see what Rolex did and was very disappointed, apart an interesting but not for me Yacht Master, and a new movement nothing good there.Of course the pilot watch is quite special and hard to believe that it's Patek who really made such a watch, the blue dial seems very nice in real life pics, but it was, IMO, stupid to make it in WG, for me such a watch needs to be SS. In any case I'm sure that in real it's a beautiful pilot watch, for those who like, not my case, but at probably around 50K because of the WG…Love the 5270, I prefer it to the 5970 personally, I think it's much more modern looking, though the 5970 is a beast also, so the new model without the chin is very cool, love that blue dial, I'm really a sucker for blue dials...I really like the 5905 in blue dial, for a chrono with AC it's a beauty, wonder how much it costs, I guess with the platinum around 80K, but as much as I wouldn't buy a chrono only watc

Pam000 at ad. Should I buy or get 112 or 560
What's everyone's thoughts? Can someone define the differences??

First Rolex - 30th Birthday
Looking to get my first rolex for my 30th. Couple of questions for the forum. Any thoughts on these models: Explorer 2 (Polar) 216570, GMT Master II, Submariner (Ceramic and pre-ceramic)? It would be an everyday wearer (desk job).Thoughts on new vs preowned. Have been able to find most of the models outlined above for around $6.5K with the exception being the 116610 subC date. I have located all of these at an AD as well so I do have the option to purchase new. All comments welcome.
