Bell & Ross BR 03-94 Carbon Orange Watch
When you hear the name Bell & Ross, if you're like me, you have a particular mental picture that comes to mind - a square case that calls to mind the very aviation instruments they're intended to reference. For 2014, Bell & Ross is introducing a new model to their Aviation collection that relies not just on the shape, but also the color scheme, to establish the airplane roots.The new model goes by the name of BR 03-94 Carbon Orange, and for my eyes, the orange is the star of the show, especially when paired with the orange canvas strap (sure, you could opt for their standard black rubber strap, but why?) that manages to be just as bold and blocky as the case it's paired to.The orange then carries over onto the dial. Why? While aviation instrumentation (amongst other industries) relies on the crisp black and white contrast to keep legibility high, a color like orange is thrown in the mix to highlight crucial information. In the case of the BR 03-94, this critical data is in the
Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Gyrotourbillon 3 Jubilee Watch
At SIHH 2013, the most prestigious of the actually many prestigious new Jaeger-LeCoultre watches was a new version of the famous Gyrotourbillon. I don't think it is exactly what a lot of Gyrotourbillon fans were expecting given its return to a very classical demeanor and style, but it is a truly new Gyrotourbillon with some interesting features. As part of the master collection, this new piece is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Gyrotourbillon 3 Jubilee watch.The term "Jubilee" (anniversary celebration) is conspicuously in the watch's name even though Jaeger-LeCoultre doesn't mention any specific anniversary around the piece's release. If there was to be an anniversary it would be of the 180th anniversary of the beginning of what is today Jaeger-LeCoultre back in 1833. That is as much as I can surmise. The Master Grande Tradition Gyrotourbillon 3 Jubilee will be a limited edition of course, as we slowly see production and possible variations over the years. What Jaeger-LeCo
What next?
Hi all,I have been very fortunate to get good advice and suggestions from all the experts of this great forum. My watch collection currently consists of BLNR, Speedy, Sub-C and latest addition Ti44 which was my first AP. I have found myself wearing the Ti44 all the time and really love this watch. It is comfortable and accuracy is spot on.I have set a certain limit for my collection and I am considering the following options (I am not considering ROs or Pateks at the moment):1) Trade my Ti44 for Ti Schumi and be done with it (only 1 AP+current watches)2) Keep the Ti44 and add an AP Diver for variety (15710ST), possibly adding RO (15400st) later on3) Keep the Ti44 and add another 44 novelty (new ceramic, FC or 26401ro; which one?)As the Ti44 and Ti Schumi are a bit similar (at least from a distance), I am wondering whether it is worth of spending such a premium. Going rate of Schumi is > 50k EUR at the moment. Also my Ti has a 5 year warranty which is not the case with Schumi. On the
Travel box/case for AP RO Chrono
All - does anyone have suggestions for a good box/case to carry my AP Royal Oak Chrono in when travelling. Unlike my rolexes the ROC bracelet does not fold flat so cannot fit into my existing travel case. Any improvised suggestions?MM1Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Purchase 116660 DSSD please help :(
Hello guys.I am due to buy 116660 DSSD Black. I went to Rolex AD in my local area then they quoted me $12050 + tax (No discount). I told them that I would think about it. However, I found a new 116660 at Chrono24 but the price is 22% cheaper than the AD I visited. The watch is also new, coming with 5 yr original warranty, and almost full-set (EXCEPT a white tag and bezel protector).Even though the Chrono seller one does not have white tag and bezel protector, should I take this one? The AD 116660 comes with completely full set of course but the price difference is 22%. If you guys were me, which one would you guys take?Any advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.Thank you
