Review: Archimede Outdoor Automatic Sport
For those of you familiar with the Archimede watch brand, you very well may think immediately of their beautiful line of traditional pilot watches, for which they are best known. But today we're bringing you a review of an Archimede that breaks that mold. The Outdoor Automatic Sport is a nimble, sporty offering that maintains simple yet attractive styling and transitions well from the outdoors to the office. And while the Outdoor isn’t new to the Archimde lineup, it proves that the Archimede brand is committed to releasing quality pieces at very competitive prices.While the Archimede brand may be young, having been founded in 2003, the watch manufacturer behind it – Ickler – has been producing quality timepieces since 1924 in Pforzheim, Germany. As stated, the brand is best known for their pilot watches, which come in both three hand and chrono versions, ranging in size 36 to 45 mm and feature quality Swiss movements. Most importantly, the price point on these pieces

Upgrade to Speedy Pro
Hi all,I just purchased my first Rolex-a 116234 and love it! I have a Speedmaster Automatic which I bought used about 3 years ago. With the addition of the Rolex, I feel like I've outgrown the Speedy Automatic. I am looking to either trade toward a Pro or sell the Automatic and buy a Pro outright. I understand that I will do better by selling the automatic-it was just serviced and refurbished by a local jeweler and runs great. What do you think it would bring with inner/outer box and no papers?Thank you in advance for your help.Sam

Since my 600m PO was merely overkill...
...I added this one for when I need to go REALLY deep.I think once I got about 15 feet under water while snorkeling. Think this could handle it?

Which complicated Nautilus?
I'm on the market for my first Patek. Since I'm a jeans+t-shirt or shorts+t-shirt wearing guy, I'd like to stick to the steel Nautilus line on bracelet. I also believe I can't pull off anything dressy, so a gold watch on a leather strap is not my thing. I'm not a fan of the Aquanaut, and also would like to stay away from the 5712 due to its asymmetrical dial. And I also would prefer to stay away from the 5711 since I already have or plan to acquire too many '70s design non-complicated (2 or 3-hand) watches, namely Ingenieur, Royal Oak 15202ST, GO Seventies Panorama Date, and probably the new 3-hand Overseas as well. Also, IMHO Patek is in its strides when it comes to building unique and/or interesting complications. So my choices are the 5726, 5980 and 5990 -- right now. Apart from the obvious best and wisest idea of just wait for the 40th anniversary, since it may bring something even better for you, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the current choices. Please note that currently I d

Nautilus vs Aquanaut Pictures
Hey everyone,I'm really wanting to purchase my first Patek and am having a hard time deciding if I should go with the 5711 (preferably white) or the 5167. So I thought that maybe if all of you posted some pictures of yours it could help me make my decision. Also any advise you guys have would be great. One question I do have: does the 5167 hold its value as well as the 5711? Thanks!
