IWC Portuguese Yacht Club Chronograph Edition Watch For Volvo Ocean Race
IWC recently announced a new version of their Portuguese Yacht Club Chronograph watch that came out about two years ago. The great looking piece is probably one of my top pics from the brand at this time and now is featured in an even more sporty skin. This version is done in collection with the Volvo Ocean Race 2011-2012. Beyond that I guess a new watch will be made?The rear of the watch has "Volvo Ocean Race 2011-2012" engraved on the back. IWC is the officially timekeeper for the boat race events. In the race IWC is also the official sponsor of the Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing Team. Interesting that they sponsor the event and one of the teams.The titanium case and carbon fiber dial look good together and feel fitting with the high-end racing boats. These performance machines operate thanks to very capable sailors and seconds count when needed to start the race. While not a traditional regatta timer, the first 10 minutes of the chronograph counter are specially colored to help with calcula

Now this is a nice Omega !!
Only 3500 will be made.

Your Name on Paperwork?
I'm planning on picking up my first Patek soon and am wondering if it matters that much if your name isn't on the paperwork when you buy. Do you mind buying used if all papers are there and watch is in mint condition? I'm trying to figure out if I want to go New (from AD) with my name on the papers, New from a grey dealer, or purchase it used. I realize options 2 or 3 I'd be saving a significant amount of money as the pieces I'm looking at aren't typically discounted much. Looking for advice or first hand story on which route you went. This will be my first Patek and I'll be purchasing to commemorate a professional life event. I'm ~30 and work in a traditional corporate setting. I'd be rotating it with a BLNR (which I can't trade as it was a wedding gift from the wife) Will be getting an Aquanaut (5167 or 5167r) or Nautilus (5711 or 5712)...I have not decided yet. Realize they're different pieces with very different price points, especially when you compare a 5167 to a 5167r o

My new box arrive!! The best Rolex I ever got!! The 2017 new panda 116509!!
Happy new year to all members!!I am so glad to share my new rolex which I fall in love immediately when I saw it. And I am fortunate to get one brand new with reasonable price. (yes, still alot to me!! ). Here the unboxing:Generated from my LG H990 using tools.rackonlyThis is not the hottest 116519ln with ceramic bezel, the 116519ln is surely the stunning watch, but I like this 116509 more with it solid bracelet and the white gold bezel, a more even weight, and which also remind me the vintage 6265 panda daytona look. What's more, I prefer this one a little bit more over the arabic panda dial as this dial give me a simple and clean looking with the great steel/black panda :) Generated from my LG H990 using tools.rackonlyOn the wrist the watch looks stunng, the steel color match the warm-tone white gold perfectly! This is just like the steel dial become part of the white gold with the bezel/case and make the panda sub-dials pop out nicely. At some angles, the panda subdials

new 116710ln random serial; green AND blue lume?
Hello,This past Sunday, I purchased a new 116710ln with a random serial at a well known AD in Chicago. This was my first, new Rolex purchase. That night, I torched the dial expecting to see green lume all around. At first, I caught a glimpse of blue. Feeling excited, I glanced back at the dial and noticed that all of the hands were glowing green. But, the hour indices were clearly glowing blue.Now, I thought all GMT lume shifted to blue in ~2012-14, not just the hour indices.Is this normal?Tom
