Introducing: The Vacheron Constantin M��tiers d��Art El��gance Sartoriale, A Collection Dedicated To Matters Of Style (Live Pics, Pricing Information)
The watch maketh the man, not his clothes. At least, that’s our line of thinking at HODINKEE. But sartorial choices have come under scrutiny this week. After entertaining the idea that watches could in fact be worn with a tuxedo (shocker, right?), we take a look at a new collection of tailor-inspired and tailor-made watches from Vacheron Constantin. 1 OF 12 Capitalizing on the resurgence of style, as defined by men who shop exclusively on Saville Row and have Pitti Uomo saved in their calendar for the next ten years, Vacheron Constantin have teamed up with the world’s oldest fabric manufacturer, Vitale Barberis Canonico, for a sartorial debut of sorts. 2 OF 12 3 OF 12 Unveiled this morning in Paris, on the opening day of the Journées Européenes des Métiers d’Arts (JEMA), the "Elegance Sartorial” collection faithfully re-creates famous woven patterns such as the Prince of Wales check, using the maison&r

Planet Ocean 42, are you a 2500 man or a 8500 man?
I 'considering cashing in on my Sub C' and thinking about getting a PO to replace it as my dressy diver. Just wondering taking all factors of movement, dial, price and difference in height, which camp are you in?(Unfortunately I've not seen a 8500 near me to try on)

Chrono diver model question
Can someone tell me if the older models of Chrono diver (from the mid nineties) have a bigger size than the current 2225.80?I am confused because I see the old models described as up to 44 mm, whereas the current 2225.80 is 41,5 mm. Other hand I never read explicitly that the Chrono diver was reduced in size. Did Omega maybe change their size measuring method?

Aqua Terra or SMP??
Hello,Im seriously considering selling the Aqua Terra 2500 i have, the white dial i have ordered is has taken a long time to arrive, and honestly, im starting the hate the way this watch looks. Its a dress watch, which looks wrong with jeans or sportswear.In my opinion, a watch has to be recognized when worn on one's wrist, and the Aqua Terra is constantly mistaken for a Rolex Datejust, something which gets on my nerve Almost a knockoff of that.However, I think that the SMP is a 'true' Omega model that cannot be mistaken for non-other, especially the blue Bond version 2221.80.00.If I sell my AT 2500 co-axial, i can only afford to get the Blue SMP used, and in quartz.Would an SMP be worth more with regards to 'pedigree' and more a an omega than the Aqua Terra? I would really be grateful to any opinion that can help me decide.BTW, Im a 'one watch' type of guy.

Purchase advice 5270
I am looking to pick up a 5270 and stuck with this dilemma. I can get a first generation 5270 for 20 thousand cheaper then a 2 or 3 generation 5270. I do like the 2 and 3 rd gen a little better just don't know if it's worth the extra 20k. Also long term value which gen will be the better investment? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
