Konstantin Chaykin Cinema Watch
New for 2013, our favorite Russian watch maker Konstantin Chaykin will release a rather amazing new timepiece called the Cinema. The piece is a poetic nod to the early era of film making and specifically honors the inventor of the zoopraxiscope, Eadweard Muybridge. The zoopraxiscope is credited as being probably the world's first movie projector, and was produced around 1879. Using a wheel with a series of pictures on it, the machine was able to project an animated image. This complication is actually built into the Cinema watch, being Konstantin Chaykin's very first attempt at such a feature, and the only one that we are aware of in a wrist watch.In the video below you can see a demonstration of the animation complication in action. Activating the left crown causes a disc to spin rapidly under the dial in what appears to be a magnified window. The illusion creates an animation of a man riding a galloping horse. The subject is no coincidence, as the original mechanism was apparently fi

The new Ferrari watch is issued in a limited edition of 400 pieces
Animating the functions is a self-winding mechanical movement. The final touch is provided by a black leather strap with rubber inserts and red stitching. The strap joins to a titanium ardillon buckle. The new Ferrari watch is issued in a limited edition of 400 pieces.

This trade makes sense?
Hi guys,I'm thinking about a possible trade and would like to have your opinions.Here is the deal ;I will get ;LNIB AP RB2 Rose Gold Limited of 257 piecesBNIB AP Michael Schumacher Titanium Limited of 1000 piecesand I will give ;AP Michael Schumacher Rose Gold Limited of 500 piecesRolex 11610LV HulkIWC Top Gun Chronograph Ref. IW388001+ CashWithout thinking about the cash needs to be paid, does this look a logical trade for you guys, for the sake of a collection? I really love my MS Rose Gold, but I also love the titanium one (and actually thinking titanium fits better to the general motorsports concept) and thinking to get one eventually even if this trade does not work and the RB2 is a more limited piece (257 vs 500).And also what would be a reasonable cost to pay for this deal on my end?What do you think?Thank you!Salih

Waterproof Leather strap for sea diving???
I am looking for a strap for water and day wear, I am going to live in Thailand in a few months so heat, transpiration and swimming will be permanent. I don't like very much the feel of the original Panerai rubber strap on my wrist, nato's are nice but I prefer way more leather straps. There are a few strapmakers that have for sale leather waterproof straps, has anyone already used these straps for this kind of use, for example in places like Florida or others?What are the result, does the strap hold the distance or are they just a little more resistant than a good aftermarket leather strap but no more?Thanks for sharing your experiences about this, I have found a few but the ones from good strapmakers are not cheap, between 180-240 dollars, would hate to spend that kind of money if it only lasts for a few months.

Just popped in to see when my new 114060 might get here and they have a 116710 LN in stock as well as an Explorer II (White dial) in the window. With the steel sports shortage going on, hope this helps someone if you've been searching for either model!
