Zenith Academy Christophe Colomb Tribute To Felix Baumgartner Watch
We love and respect Zenith for the El Primero, the rock solid, high-frequency automatic chronograph caliber?�C accepted by many as?the first of its kind. Over the years, we have seen some very interesting modifications of that movement as well as?some other intriguing concepts from the Le Locle based manufacturer. However,?the Zenith Academy Christophe Colomb with its unique gyroscopic system is?arguably the most impressive and technically challenging movement the now LVMH-owned company has produced since it debuted the El Primero in 1965.?Today, Zenith has announced a new version of this gimbal-equipped movement, the Zenith Academy Christophe Colomb Tribute To Felix Baumgartner.The brand?also likes to call it a "tribute to the first 21st century extreme explorer," and while that may be a bit of a stretch, Felix Baumgartner's attempt to?break the sound barrier with his own body in a free fall from the edge of space in 2012 �C while wearing a Zenith Stratos (hands-on here) strapped to his

Cartier Must Autoscaph 21 Watch Available On James List
Here is one of those interesting Cartier watches that you don't see very often. Out of production for maybe a decade now, this is a rare, true sports watch from the 'fancy watch brand.' Many of you might be familiar with the Must 21 collection from Cartier. The chronograph is probably the most well known of the line. Though the Autoscaph 21 is sportiest version around.

Medium at best, the little guy is just a hair under 37mm wide. Then again, it is perfect for the modern lady if she likes it.Set in a steel case with a nice polished black stone cabochon in the crown, this is a Cartier watch all the way through. The bezel visually integrates into the sloped flange chapter ring right under the sapphire crystal. The steel on steel look is nice, but makes the dial look pretty small. Which it is. A design experiment if anything. Makes for

warranty vs gray dealer ???
ive been told by several people that i should look into buying my first AP from a gray dealer as they can give a huge discount. This would be my first luxury watch purchase, im wondering what the differences are in purchasing from a gray dealer as opposed to a AD or boutique. to my knowledge a grey dealer can offer a steep discount vs MSRP however voids the factory warranty. Is this correct?if some of you may please list a pros + / cons - list for purchasing from different vendors, would be greatly appreciated.. gray / AD / boutique.is the steep discount worth the non warranty? (if buying from the grey dealer offers no factory warranty)sorry if this is a noob question but i want to make the right decision when it comes to a purchase of this magnitude.

Which should I sell?
Trying to free up 20k for another toy. I cant decided if I should sell my 16528 or 5711. If I sell the 5711 I'd buy a 15400 and put the rest of the money towards the toy.Thoughts? Thanks.
