Girard-Perregaux Chrono Hawk Hollywoodland Watch
Girard-Perregaux is about to release a new version of the still new Chrono Hawk called the Hollywoodland. An unofficial homage to the movie making capital of the world, the Chrono Hawk Hollywoodland is the latest effort in the brand's focus on entering the world of Hollywood. In 2012 Girard-Perregaux announced that it was going to be a sponsor and founding supporter of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. The museum is currently in construction and will stand as an important cinema museum here in Los Angeles.Despite sounding like it, the Chrono Hawk Hollywoodland is not going to be a limited edition watch. Instead, it will sit as part of the larger Chrono Hawk collection. There will be two versions of the Hollywoodland watch, with one having a darker gray dial (ref.?49970-34-232-BB6A) and the other a lighter dial (ref.?49970-34-132-BB6A). We aren't going to discuss the Chrono Hawk watch at length again, but for more information about the watch read our watches-dealer hands-on Chrono

26400io or 26400so?
I'd really like to get some opinions from you guys. I am about to take the plunge on one of these and cannot decide. I do not own any other AP ROO 44's.Any input is greatly appreciated!

AP Royal Oak 15450ST
I am new to the forums and this is my first post. I am considering buying the 37mm 15450ST. This will be my first big watch purchase and the whole process is a bit daunting. I went to go check it out and the lady tried to sway me towards the larger 15400 (41mm). She also kept referring to the 15450 as a ladies watch. I am skinny, 6ft and have a 7 wrist. I am more of a classic guy and tend to prefer smaller watches but not too small. I also feel the AP wears slightly bigger. I have a few pics but I am newbie and haven't figured out how to post yet.My questions are: Do you think this is too small for me or men in general? Is it a ladies watch? Do any of you guys wear this model? I am just curious to get your overall thoughts.Thanks in advance.

Seeking Advice Regarding a Patek
I'm an old retired guy who developed an irrational interest in watches only a few years ago. I'm not wealthy but I've managed to acquire two nice watches in the past two years, a stainless steel Breguet Marine and a rose gold JLC MUT Moon. Recently I've been strongly tempted by a yellow gold Rolex Day-Date but I've found it difficult to open my wallet that wide for a Rolex. I'm beginning to agree with my wife, who thinks that a YG Day-Date is too blingy for me. I think I might prefer to sell my JLC and replace it with a modest manual wind Patek Philippe. The PP models that appeal to me are the Calatrava 5119 (J or R) and 5196 (J or R) and the Gondolo 5124J. I love the art deco styling of the 5124J but would also be happy with either of the more traditional 5119 or 5196. Can you give me any advice regarding the relative merits of the three PP models I've mentioned?

Future of the DJII 116333
I've had a thing for this model for many years now and since it's been discontinued with the oyster bracelet and gray dial, I'm curious where prices could go. This was kind of a poster child for Rolex in advertising for quite a while. How do you think used prices will fare? I've already felt the heat of prices on bluesy 16613 subs. Not sure how things will go with the DJ2 considering it's not a sports model. All enabling aside, strike while the iron's hot??
