Panerai Luminor 8 Days Set Pays Tribute to Early Stallone Models
Twenty years ago, Hollywood action hero Sylvester Stallone commissioned a pair of watches from then-obscure watch brand Officine Panerai, and neither the brand, nor the watch world at large, has been the same since. Panerai marks this milestone at SIHH 2016 with a special, limited-edition set of two new watches inspired by the ones made for Sly in 1996.The Panerai Luminor 8 Days Set contains a pair of Panerai Luminor watches that bear the distinctive DNA of their forebears �� released one year before the brand was acquired by the Richemont Group (then known as the Vend?me Group) in 1997 and which quickly became collectors’ items �� yet also feature attractive modern twists.One of the watches, the Panerai Luminor Black Seal Left-Handed 8 Days (below), is the first iteration of that timepiece with the winding crown and patented, lever crown-protection device it on the left side of the case.

Introducing: The Moritz Grossman Atum Pure Steel (Live Pics, Pricing Info)
Stainless steel. You could not summarize Baselworld 2016 any more succinctly. And there's no mystery why it's being so commonly used this year. High-end watchmakers are lowering price points in order to encourage watch enthusiasts to continue spending despite decelerating economies in their most important markets.But taking an existing model and encasing it in stainless steel won't do.

It's now available for the third of the price, at $11,500. Now, that's the kind of jump that makes you wonder how much of the good stuff has been chucked out of the original model?

Noob Question regarding Safari Movement
Do the F series Safari's all come with the 3126 movement or are there any with the 2326? Any help would be appreciated as I am thinking of pulling the trigger on one.ThanksStan

There's some funny folk on here.
I read some posts on here and wonder why we are so fussy. One post that gets me is the fact Omega does not use a blue date ring with the blue dial of the PO Titanium instead of its black colour. Have you guys seen Rolex Subs -GMT -Explorers etc. The black, blue and green dials come with WHITE date wheel and yet I've never read one Rolex post complaining about this on their beloved watches. Guys please don't forget the fact the PO is a Fantastic watch and with a black dial we get a black date wheel and looks much better than a white would do, even on the Titanium/ Blue dial.
