Hamilton Jazzmaster Slim Automatic
Henry Ward Beecher said “True elegance becomes the more so as it approaches simplicity.” Henry would have liked the Hamilton Jazzmaster Slim Automatic. It reduces the wristwatch to its essential elements: hours, minutes, date. The luminescent hands make sure you won’t be lost in the dark. The Jazzmaster Slim is available in 40 and 43mm cases, in stainless steel and pink gold plate, with black or silver dial, and on black or brown strap or a Milanese-style mesh bracelet. Power is provided by an ETA 2892 movement. The Jazzmaster Slim is in stores now priced at $695 – $795.

Need some advice on the "T" watch...
What do people here think about the AP Royal Oak Extra Thin Tourbillon in stainless steel? I might get a pretty good offer from a local AD that I'm very close with. This will be my first ap tourbillon and something that I think will stand the test of time will be passed on to the next generation. However, I will need to let go of 2-3 AP's depending on which I let go. I don't wanna spend extra cash on it so the question is, which 2-3 would you let go if you were me to acquire this grail. This will be a keeper for sure. I presume keepers:- RO stainless steel skeleton perpetual calendar- RO 15305 rose gold open work- ROO RB2 ti The ones I could sacrifice:- RO 15202 rose gold- ROO jarno trulli- ROO QE2 diver- ROO ceramic diver- ROO Novelty navy 42mmSo if you were me, which 2-3 watches would you sacrifice or should I just enjoy my current collection and don't be silly.

Fluco Horween shell cordovan straps from Chronoworld
Has anyone bought one before? I just received mine and, honestly, I'm a little underwhelmed. It looks kinda like plastic to me. And not sure what to make of the INOX on the buckle.Prior to ordering, I did some due diligence on Chronoworld as well as the guy who runs it seem to be pretty well regarded. Maybe it's just that the fine German craftsmanship ain't all that...Why, you may ask, am I posting in the Omega forum? Because it's on my old Seamaster 300 :)
