largest club of its kind has worked closely with Tag Heuer
The Porsche Club of America, which is more than 100 000 members, but which is also the largest club of its kind has worked closely with Tag Heuer to make this limited edition Monaco based watch. Why they did not work with Porsche Design Eterna, I do not know. Seems that it would have been just a little bit more sense. Although this pattern of special colour on the Monaco is enough cherry. As the cherry, with its mainly black tones with a racing stripe red black and white trim.

Tried on the Dark Side of the moon!!
Sorry, no pics...but it is on display at the Boutique in NYC - My impressions....From initial view behind the glass...it's fairly unassuming - almost plastic looking...After putting it on and watching the light catch it...it's quite amazing...Shiny as hell, and the brushed/polished combination is really striking.The Cordura was more comfortable than you'd think, and actually looked pretty good...the Dial was stunning...pure liquid metal type sheen (in fact it is ZrO2)But, it was very light - a minus for me, a plus for others...Overall,,,it is a killer piece...The price hadn't bothered me, but when you look around the boutique a little more...the Speedmaster professional moonwatchWith Aventurine dial blows it away!! (for 500$ less) - and a more beautiful lemania movement on display, and moonphase...Also, the redgold deville chrono blue dial was just so amazing, that no other watch came close...I admire the Darkside, and think it is a great timepiece...but I have to bow out from the wait

Ploprof 1200 arrived
I am a big fan of the Ploprof 1200 both as an everyday casual watch and because of it's place in the history of dive watches. I owned a Ploprof 1200 about 2 years ago and loved it but I was made an offer that I could not refuse to sell it! It is great to have one in my collection again. I like the way it looks on the oem orange rubber strap although I plan to wear it on the oem mesh bracelet. The Ploprof replaced the Rolex SDDS that I was wearing everyday.

Omega Speedmaster 50th anniversary limited edit.
I have become interested in acquiring one of the new Omega 50th anniversary Speedmasters. The Omega site isn't too helpful, and I've seen these watches advertised with a transparent case back as well as some with a solid case back. I've also seen a couple of different crystal materials as well as the two different movements listed. Several sites show the traditional 1861 movement while other sites list the new co-axial movement.Are there really this many variations of this limited edition model?I prefer the 1861 manual movement with a solid case back and a sapphire crystal. Is this variety available?

World Timers
Curious and would very much like to hear from our resident experts (if I may impose):1. Do you guess that the 5131R will be as limited as the J and G or will Patek produce more of these and be easier to get? I looked at an older thread on this topic, but perhaps more insight now. How impossible is it to get at retail pricing for a mere mortal such as myself?2. I like the 5110P. The hands seem small and time difficult to read; is that true? How does it compare in size to a 36mm Rolex Day Date (any pictures)?
