Arnold & Son Time Pyramid Watch Now In Steel
For 2014 Arnold & Son follows up its extremely desirable Time Pyramid watch that was originally released in 2013 with a more accessibly priced model in steel. Arnold & Son is one of the few brands that regularly offers many of its most interesting timepieces in both steel as well as precious metals. It was not clear that the Time Pyramid was going to be a success when it was originally debuted, but given demand, Arnold & Son has produced a version in a polished steel case with a new finishing for the movement.watches-dealer offered a hands-on look at the Arnold & Son Time Pyramid watch last year - you can make your own determination on how interesting its design is. The highly skeletonized movement was inspired by a skeletonized British clock from around 1830. The triangular shape of the movement was the source of the "pyramid" part of the name. The 2014 Time Pyramid in steel offers a new look for the watch in contrast to the 18k red gold version. From lighter to darker

Hands-On: With The Absolutely Insane Blancpain X Fathoms (Live Pics, Official Pricing)
This is a good one, folks.? If you know anything about dive watches, you know that the Fifty Fathoms from Blancpain is often put in the same league as the Rolex Submariner when it comes to category-creating sport watches.? The 50 Fathoms, according to some, even pre-dates the Submariner by a year, and it was used by countless armed forces throughout the 20th century.Today, Blancpain continues the Fifty Fathoms line in a few different varieties, including this guy with a "no radiation" dial, a HODINKEE favorite.? But, the undisputed king of the Blancpain dive watches is this monster you see above, entitled the X Fathoms. 2 OF 14 The X Fathoms is something of a concept dive watch (though indeed put into production and sold via traditional retail channels), that was designed to be the ultimate in mechanical dive tools.? It features all of the following: a mechanical depth gauge, amorphous metal membrane, depth indication on two scales, maximum depth memory with secured reset

5205 - Why no love for this ref?
Hi All, I'm new to this forum and very much a novice when it comes to PP. I have however watched the 5205g for a while and while I really like the design and how it wears (even if a little thick). For me, it's the perfect 'young mans' annual calendar, the design is clean and modern. However I want to understand why the secondary market prices are so soft.What in your opinions is driving this? Why no love for this ref (I say no love given the soft resale value)? Is the design top far from what the purists want? Are the production numbers too high? Is is that the retail prices are really just gone way too far?All opinions appreciated.J

Ok what would you do?
Here's the scenario Back in 2010 I bought from an AD one of the first 5205G with the darker dial,to arrive in the UK. I took an immediate like of it from the first photo of its launch at the Basel show that year. Fast forward 2 years and I was struggling to read the time in certain light. So I returned it back to Patek, who had kindly agreed to change the dial for the lighter one.Not long after I had it back, I saw a beautiful 3940R, so the 5205G had to go. So I sold it to a reputable grey dealer here in the UK.Now fast forward to the present day.While scanning this dealers website, as you do I saw that they had a 5205G. Out of interest, I contacted them and yes, low and behold it is my old Patek. They had sold it and then taken it back against another watch.Well my imagination took over and I wondered if I should try and return it to the fold.The problem is that I don't have the funds.So my dilemma is this.Would you exchange your current Pateks, which are:5711A from 2012 B&P and
