Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec Rising Hours Watch
SIHH 2013 will see the release of a brand new version of the now well-known Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec watch. I find it rather interesting to see how Montblanc continues to explore and expand this collection that started the in-house made Montblanc movement watch collection. Made in Le Locle, timepieces like the Nicolas Rieussec collection represent the in-house made mid-range of watches in the Montblanc collection. Above them are the Minerva Villeret produced Montblanc watches.The Nicolas Rieussec Rising Hours evolves the design of the dial to play around with the complications once again. Gone is the second time zone, but added in is a day of the week indicator opposite the date. The off-centered time display is where the real difference can be found. Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec watches typically have day/night (AM/PM) indicators, but this model offers this function in a much more beautiful way. The time dial has a normal minutes hand, but now comes with a wandering disc to indicate t

set within the dial of the new Hublot watch are also two wave-patterned 30-minute
The mechanism breathes life into functions, presented on a black opalin dial. It features a black internal flange, marked with a tachymeter scale printed in white. The dial is equipped with 8 lume-applied trapezoid indexes. The central hours and minutes are indicated by skeletonized, polished and rhodium-plated "Dauphine" hands. Set within the dial of the new Hublot watch are also two wave-patterned 30-minute and 60-second counters, located at 3 and 9 o'clock respectively. The sub-dials are fitted with "Glaive" red hands.

Yacht-Master II (116680) on RubberB
I recently ordered a Navy / Arctic White RubberB strap for my YMII. There aren't a lot of pictures of this combination on TRF so I took some for you guys. Overall the strap is pretty comfortable. I have a large wrist (~7.5) so the 12 o'clock side is much longer than the 6 o'clock side causing the clasp to be off-center. I'm getting used to it. The quality is very good and it gives the watch a very summery and even more of a nautical feel.

DJ41 vs Sky-Dweller
Internal components and functions aside, is the major difference the dials of the DJ41 and Sky-Dweller, which look fairly identical except the middle 24 hour circle?
