Calibre de Cartier, Now on a Bracelet
Last year Cartier launches the Calibre de Cartier line powered by the brand’s in-house 1904-PS movement. The watch represented an important step for the brand. Despite the clearly sporty aesthetics, the Calibre de Cartier was available only on a strap. At SIHH 2011, a new and decidedly more sporting version debuted on a bracelet.The new models are available in stainless steel with black or silver dial, and in 18K rose gold and stainless steel with a silver dial. The bracelets feature wide polished center links and thinner brushed outer links with a deployant-style folding clasp. At 42mm x 10mm, the case dimensions have not changed. Water resistance is 30 meters.For more on this watch and the movement that powers it, click here.As we go to press, only approximate U.S. pricing is available: steel version $7000; steel and gold $10,950

Pam320 Authentic?
So I just received my first Panerai which is the pam320 from Jomashop and I still have doubts about the authenticity without a warranty card. Anyone else here bought from Jomashop? I have to remove the serial no so I have to blur it out. Serial No. matches the box, not sure if it matters. Thanks.

Incoming! Tudor Black Bay Noir ETA!
Found out a friend of mine had a BNIB fully stickered Black Bay Noir ETA in his safe that he didn't want anymore. I jumped at the opportunity to grab it and now its here! I sold my first one a year and half ago, so its nice to finally have it back considering that they are getting harder to find. Not big on the BB bracelet, so this one is gonna live its life on straps!

If you had 2k laying around what watch would you buy
Need some advice for a possible next purchase.So I have been content being a one watch guy, but I would love having one more. Some things in life led me to that and no regrets could not be happier. Don't get me wrong love my Sub C date,but sometimes I get the itch for another fine piece. I had a good year at work and got a very nice bonus. After putting some in saving, adding to kids college funds etc I have a little that I could possibly play with. A lot of you guys know tons about watches and one reason I love this forum. If you had 2k what would you buy? Here are some parameters.White or blue dial Looks good on a brown or blue strap. I could possibly bump up to 2500 but ideal would like to be 1500-1700 especially preowned and need some cash for a service etc. I have always liked the Omega Aqua Terra's and some models might fall into my price range. Maybe a preowned Tudor?What else is out there? My biggest fear is trying to get something in that price range that is good q
