Hands-On: The Montblanc Boheme Moongarden
I have never seen a watch like this before. Sure, it looks like a watch I have seen before, but when you take a close look you realize that this isn't your average calendar watch. This particular watch is called the Moongarden and it is a new addition to the Bohème, Montblanc's collection for women. What makes this watch so different you ask? Well I will get into that in a bit, but first a little background on Montblanc and their women's watches.Montblanc was founded in 1906 in Hamburg, Germany, as a pen-making company. In 1988 it became part of the Richemont group and then later in 1997 it began making watches in Le Locle, Switzerland. However, it wasn’t until 2008 when the brand began creating their own in-house movements with the caliber MB R100. With each year, Montblanc has pushed the boundaries with innovative, well-made designs that are reasonably priced (see the Meisterstück Heritage Perpetual Calendar for $13,000). This continues to be a running t

TAG Heuer Will Relaunch The Autavia In 2017 �C And Fans Get To Choose The Model
Have you ever caught yourself staying up way, way too late, looking at vintage watches online and wishing they would make a return to the market? I know I have – and a long time before my job made it acceptable. Well if you’re part of that club, there’s good news on the way from TAG Heuer. 1 OF 17 Following a conversation with Jeff Stein at On The Dash – a must read for vintage Heuer fans –  TAG Heuer has announced a campaign asking the public which vintage Autavia chronograph they want to see re-launched in 2017. A racer’s watch, developed in the 1960s, it’s one of the Heuer's “Big Three,” along with the Carrera and the Monaco, and both reference 2446 and reference 3646 have been gaining momentum in the secondhand market. Born in 1962, the Autavia Chronograph is named after a series of “Automobile” and “Aviation” dashboard timekeepers launched 30 years prior. Made for ra

New guy on the AP side
Evening gentsThis is my first post & possibly my first luxury watch purchase. I'm new to this although i have been watching these boards for awhile. Mostly the classifieds. I'm definitely a offshore kind of guy although i can see myself with an RO as a once a month going out to dinner type of watch.I see the divers are the cheapest, not really my style anyway. I've got my eye on an elephant ROO w/ hornback strap. (Not a fan of that either) How much of a hassle/cost is it to get a elephant rubber strap w/ diver style pin buckle?Also whats the group take on the whole elephant theme? Is like a gimmick? Or a possible staple in the brand? I only ask because should i panic after the purchase & sell i dont want to be stuck with it. Hopefully it'll be easy to sell like a Panda for example.Lastly these are expensive pieces. If this particular piece doesn't come with everything i want initially would you consider scrapping the deal & waiting for the right one? Just looking for person

First Breitling..Questions
I am looking at purchasing my first Breitling, I have multiple Rolex and Omegas but no Breitlings. Consequently I know squat about the models. I am looking for a daily wearer, stainless steel, date, around 40mm in size. A quartz model will do. I've been thinking about a Colt Quartz II, I think the model # was A74380. Is this a current model and what is its reputation. Any thoughts appreciated.

Potentially dumb questions about the Datejust 41
Hey everyone, 1st off, I just recently joined this forum and I'm impressed with the caliber of decorum/courtesy/helpfulness here. Who am I? Basically a kid in his mid-40's who has been a long-time Submariner fanatic. My question is kinda odd so please bear with me... I never took a liking to the DJ until the new SS DJ 41 debuted at Basel last year. Since then it's been on my drool list; it seems my taste is evolving, either that or I'm just finally getting old (ha!). The thing holding me back is whether or not it's wearable with really casual outfits: T-shirt, jeans or shorts. I'm talking REALLY casual, I never - and I mean never dress up. I rarely wear collared shirts or polos. Any feedback would be appreciated. That damn blue dial haunts my dreams. If I may throw in a second question, jubillee vs oyster bracelet? Once again, I'm worried the jubilee might bee too dressy with super casual wear, but I could be wrong. I know all of this is subjective, but please indulge me, thanks.
