Vulcain Diver X-Treme Automatic Limited Edition Watch
I didn't have the nicest things to say about the last Vulcain Diver X-Treme watch that I talked about. I mean, I liked how the watch looked, but seriously doubted how "extreme" it was. That has pretty much all changed with this new Vulcain Diver X-Treme Limited Edition watch, that blows me out of thewater. Really I love not only the looks of this watch but the honestly extreme amount of engineering that went into it. If you like luxury dive watches and want something from a more interesting watch company, this is a strong contender for your attention.One of the things I talked about with the other Vulcain Diver X-Treme regarded the alarm. Well I am not sure if enhancements have been made or?? Vulcain is simply discussing it more openly, but the case of the new Automatic limited edition X-Treme is specially made in a few layers of metal to help enhance the sound of the alarm specifically so that it can be heard underwater. Basically they claim that the three layers of steel and titanium

Hands-On: The Moser Perpetual Calendar Concept Limited Edition In Steel (Live Pics, Pricing)
I often think about what type of watch I would wear if limited to only modern watches, and only independently-held manufactures (isn't that how we all spend our nights?). A watch I saw at Baselworld 2016 may have answered the question, or at least put a new one in the running.H. Moser continues to produce excellent and innovative timepieces for collectors that do not, necessarily, get the recognition they deserve. The landmark piece from Moser is certainly the Endeavour perpetual calendar, which we reviewed here, but they've long been experimenting with making the already simple perpetual calendar ever more simple with the concept watches seen here. The Concept Perpetual calendar removes all branding from the dial side, as well as the sub-seconds and power-reserve indicator. At Baselworld this year, they showed us an even more pared-down version of this thoughtful perpetual, now in a limited edition in stainless steel. 1 OF 3 The case back of the Moser displays a leap year

pam 111 crown guard
First off....I'm new to the site. I'm finding it a HUGE resource!Question regarding the crown guard on the Pam 111 I sure someone here can answer....Why is it brushed and not polished like the rest of the case?I find myself having to go the the 177 in order to get a guard that matches the rest of the case.I'd be all over buying the 111 if it was polished!Any pam's that are?? Thanks ahead of time folks!

GMT-Master II glare: 116710LN vs 16710
I'm curious if any owners of both can comment on the older watch vs the newer one. After wearing a blue dial DJ for many years, I added a 116710LN. It seems to me to be plagued by glare much more than my old watch. I know the crystal/AR topic has been discussed a lot, and that's certainly part of it. It also seems like reflection off the perimeter of the indices contributes.Has anyone else experienced this? And are the 5-digit watches, better, worse, or the same on this front? Thanks.

Black concentric OP 36 at AD - is this a decent deal?
I wandered into an AD last night, and they had a new OP 36 with the discontinued black concentric dial. This has always been my favorite OP dial. They offered to sell it to me for $4900 (about 9% off MSRP). I'm not sure if this is a decent deal, or it's totally out of line for a discontinued dial? I also want to make sure that the dial is the only difference between this watch and the ones currently in production. Anybody have any insight? Anything else I should be wary of? Thanks in advance.
