Wake-Up Time: 5 Luxury Watches With Mechanical Alarms
They’re not as sexy as tourbillons or as impressively complicated as perpetual calendars, but mechanical alarm watches may possess one of the more useful complications for a weary traveler or an overworked executive who might need a little reminder about that big board meeting. In a way, it’s curious that more watch brands haven’t embraced them. Here are five worth noting.The Blancpain Villeret R��veil GMT, part of the brand’s classically styled Villeret collection, features a mechanical alarm as well as a second-time-zone indication. A subdial at 3 o'clock, with 12 hour markers and two hands, displays the time programmed for the alarm, which is set via a push-piece at 8 o'clock, which engages a column wheel.? An On/Off indicator at 1 o'clock shows the wearer at a glance whether or not the alarm is activated. The alarm's chime is produced by a hammer striking a gong.

New vs. Old: Decisions
Hi All,Been chatting with some of my watch buddies, and I've reached a bit of a crossroads. In the last month of ownership, I've loved having my Tudor Sub. It's a great watch with an awesome vintage feel to it. That being said, I have also fallen hard for the current ceramic Subs. I'm a bit concerned currently with the decreasing supply that (1) they're much harder to get now and (2) something will change at Basel and make prices go even crazier than they have already. Not to say I can't afford my watches, but my current budget dictates that I stop at 2 high-end pieces. I refuse to part with my Explorer, so I most likely wouldn't be able to add another piece for a few years at least (grad school, bills, etc.)Would you:A. Hang onto the Tudor and just wait. B. Sell the Tudor and put the money towards a SubC ND. C. Any other realistic ideasThanks guys!

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!
