Introducing the Mondaine Stop2Go
If you've ever traveled around by train in Switzerland, you've relied on the Swiss Railway clocks at every station, with their distinct red seconds hand and easy to read layout. Originally designed in 1944 by Hans Hilfiker, the bold, geometric design that speaks to the Bauhaus philosophy has become iconic and a symbol of accuracy. In the over 60 years since, the design has remained, as its vocabulary of modern forms is as relevant today as it originally was.Of course, you don't actually have to travel to Switzerland to see these timepieces in action, but rather take a trip to your local museum shop. Starting in 1986, Mondaine began producing the Official Swiss Railway (SBB) watches, which replicated the original Hilfiker design. Certainly more familiar to those of us in the states, the Mondaine watches are simple, legible and classic. In the nearly 30 years since their creation, there have been many versions and variations on the design, from mechanical varieties to phantom palettes, b

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

Hulk or YM II if cost is subsidized
I currently have the current reference GMT II in TT and have an opportunity to acquire either Hulk or YM II am not certain which way to go... I am getting 6K towards the purchase so basically Hulk would wind up costing me $2000-$3000 not certain yet because the discount has not Been confirmed.As for YM 2 on SS my out of pocket will $8600. Obviously i know they are very different looking models and am partial to Hulk but feels light to me due to TT weight I used to (also have and am used to wearing Panerai Pam88 which is 44mm) I tired the YM II at the local AD but couldn’t really get the feel due to lack of sizing on bracelet as it was fully linked so I was just able to set it on my wrist but couldn’t really experience how it would feel once secured on.. I have to make the decision by Tuesday, any opinions and insights are welcome

Yachtmaster II
Only recently have I been looking to the Yachtmaster II. Not that I own a yacht or anything, but this highly complicated Rolex and its looks drew my attention more and more. Before I jump to any hasty conclusions I was wondering what the forum thinks of this model, and more specifically about the first and second iteration. Can't wait to read your comments. Thanks.

Is it worth it to pay ?2.6k extra for the 2017 Sea-dweller, SD43
Hi everyoneI heard that Rolex will be increasing their UK prices next year. Atm, the RRP of SD43 is ?8,350, but it's virtually impossible to get one at that price. The cheapest I saw, BNIB on Chronext is listed at ?10,970. Do you guys think it's worth it to pay that much for the SD43? I really think that they'll discontinue the red writing after Baselworld 2018.What do you guys think?Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
