IW516201 in stainless steel and IW516203 in rose gold), the Automatic Moon Phase 37 (Ref. IW459007) and two new Portofino Automatic 37 models (Ref. IW458111/12) with colored straps �C which is something of an emerging trend in luxury watches.Portofino is IWC's elegant, vintage-inspired collection, with large, round, polished cases and clean, pure dials. The new IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Day & Date contains the brand's in-house, manual-wound Caliber 59220, with day and date complications added. There is certainly plenty of room for the extra indications on the generous 45-mm dial without disturbing the sleek, uncluttered aesthetic.

Girard-Perregaux 1966 Annual Calendar and Equation of Time
The La Chaux-de-Fonds Manufacture has unveiled a white gold version of the annual calendar and equation of time from its Girard-Perregaux 1966 collection. This model incorporates a useful annual calendar that takes account of the lengths of the months, save February. Also on board is an equation of time, indicating the difference between the true solar time and the mean time, or meridian time. The functions are displayed on the dial in an original yet highly readable way. As an added touch of sophistication, the calendar can be corrected by turning the crown in either direction. This makes correction easier, and the absence of a corrector on the case leaves its curves intact. The transparent caseback allows a view into the architecture imagined and executed by the watchmakers in La Chaux-de-Fonds, including the Microvar variable inertia balance.Technical specificationsCase in white goldDiameter: 40 mmHeight: 10.72 mmSapphire crystalSapphire case-backWater resistance: 30 metresGirard-Pe

First, these watches contain Citizen's famous Eco

Anyone gotten a discount on a SS Submariner this year?
I'm gonna pick mine up from an AD tomorrow. It's set aside for me, no wait list was involved. I'm wondering if anyone has had success getting a discount in this situation since the Great SS Drought has begun. I'm in the Southwest, USA.

My Most Versatile Rolex
I usually wear my 16710 on oyster or jubilee bracelet and rotate between a Pepsi and Coke bezel. But I recently purchased a leather nato with faded black bezel and it's hard to believe it's the same watch. This watch is so versatile with its different bracelet/strap options and numerous bezel colors. No wonder the values keep on rising.
