Corum showed us their newest whirlwind
Anyone considering buying a tourbillon knows that Swiss-made watches with this decidedly complex escapement typically carry six-figure price tags. So it came as some surprise when Corum showed us their newest whirlwind, the $43,000 stainless steel Admiral's Cup Legend Tourbillon Micro-Rotor. (For $59,000, collectors can enjoy the same complication in rose gold.)

Audemars Roo 42mm RG VS 44mm RG
Just wondering what members here prefer these days? The classic and original 42mm or the new 44mm?

Companion watch for a Submariner ND
Good morning allApologies in advance for a rather open question but I think this is the best place to askBought the Sub a year ago - what a watch! Now my wife has offered to get me another watch for my 50th in about a years timeI am wondering what to get though. Price would be around the same as the Sub and used is also a possibilityThe only Rolex I could envisage I'd a DJ (tried BLNR and Ln GMT when bought Sub, not quite right unfortunately)I don't wear suits, mainly smart(ish) casual. Have best diver already so looking for some inspiration.Thanks for any suggestions

Rolex - keep cutting supply of sports models please!! (What say you?)
Is any one else happy that Rolex has cut supply on sports models? Or in the alternative, if given the choice between unlimited supply of sports models and what's most probably manufactured scarcity, is anyone else happy about the scarcity?I actually like that Rolex is forward-thinking in order to keep value in the brand. I like that they're taking (what they feel to be) affirmative steps to ensure value retention in an uncertain mechanical watch future landscape. If they didn't do that, I'd imagine that it would be easy to be blindsided. Don't believe me, go back thirty years and tell Sears and Kmart and Blockbuster that they wouldn't be on top in their respective industries. We hear a lot from the people who are salty because they can't find a Daytona or a 116610lv or a blnr. They're perpetually on the cusp of leaving the brand for Omega or Iwc. But I think that there are folks that think that Rolex' strategy is a good one. Any thoughts from that camp?

Batman joins the Hulk
So I was lucky enough to pick up a 116610lv earlier this year which I thoroughly have enjoyed. I have since I first seen the 116710BLNR I've always fancied picking one up. On my travels I see quite a few GMT's in the blue/black in US stores but they are like hen's teeth in UK AD's. So after 4 or 5 months on the waiting list, the call from my trusted AD arrived yesterday and I am now the proud owner of a colourful GMT II.Stickers are still on, as I'm trying to decide whether to lock it away for a year or two or wear it, as I love the LV so much...It's interestingly slightly thinner than the Submariner to my eye, maybe the lesser depth rating.Anyway, I'm very happy with my collection.Interestingly they had a two tone Sky Dweller (gold/steel) for list. I was tempted but rule is always stainless sports models for me.Feeling very lucky to have picked up these two, and my AD will have another sale as soon as they find me a Sea Dweller red dot.... Now the ceramic daytona - if only....
