Porsche Design 1919 Datetimer Series 1 & 1919 Globetimer Series 1 Watches
Porsche Design is releasing their new 1919 collection, which will introduce the Porsche Design 1919 Datetimer Series 1 and the Porsche Design 1919 Globetimer Series 1 watches. The 1919 collection is Porsche Design's homage to the Bauhaus movement. For those not familiar, the Bauhaus movement placed great importance on the concepts of simplicity and functionality in design. Though it's a little early for the centenary celebration of the movement (that will be in 2019, if you couldn't guess by the name of the collection), Porsche Design has unveiled the two watches in this collection. What's interesting, though, is the fact that this is the kind statement that Porsche Design is choosing to make after their relationship with Eterna came to an end about a year and a half ago. Since then, they released the Timepiece No. 1, the name of which made clear that Porsche Design was?ushering in a new beginning for the brand. Now, they're not going in-house (in fact, they're using two different Sell

It's 2015 but I still want it to be 2014!
Well what an end to 2014! I began the year Patekless and now I have 2 pieces in my vintage Rolex dominated collection! You might remember my post from August 2014 .rolexforums/showthread.php?t=368474 I sort opinion on the 5960/1A and the 5170G, the latter eventually winning the day.Well this forum certainly enables!, like Duncan (gunrnnr) it was killing me to see the influx of 5960/1A posts, a massaging of the finances this way and that, up and down and round and around, saw me give permission to Santa to do his best in seeking me out a watch. He delivered!, I'd obviously been a good lad! (though HUGE credit goes to my very understanding wife in letting me proceed and who tolerates my passion especially as I know the money I spend could be put to many other uses, especially needy family ones). I don't think I'll be able to emulate 2014 come this year but that won't stop me enjoying this great forum as much as have to date. My new acquisition, a still sealed 2014 PP 5960/1A to acco

Panerai to Flip (maybe for Profit)! Need Advice ASAP
Hi All,I pose this question to the Panerai experts. Have another chance to buy ANY Panerai (in stock) for 20% off and no tax. If purchased, I probably would sell immediately, although no guarantee as I've fallen in love with the brand. So, I'd like your opinions on which one you would buy for that purpose and why? I'm not looking at any special/limited editions, but was thinking a GMT perhaps. And please, I'm not interested in being called out for BS. If you doubt me, I'm happy to PM anyone, especially those in SoCal:). Thanks in advance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rolex for 2 sons?
Hello, I have 2 sons and I'm considering buying each of them a watch to be given to them on their 18th birthday (16+ years later). Ideally, it would be nice if one watch is wearable by my wife and the other by myself but that might limit the choices so it's not 100% must. My question is regarding this: if you are younger than 30, how do you feel about your parents passing down a watch to you? Are there any particular model/color that you'd like (from the current new collections that I can get from an AD?) And if you have kids, have you done something similar and what did you buy? So, what would be the best 2 watches for my sons?Thank youps. Any current rolex watch is fair game regardless of material and this is not for investment purpose at all so I could care less about how much the watch would be worth 16 years later. :)

No one is talking about the new bracelet on the SS Sky D��s
I've owned my new SS Sky D for about a month now, and have notice that the oyster bracelet has been redesigned as it has on the new Sea Dweller. I actually like the redesign a lot, tapered but not too much. Appears a bit wider and more flat than the older bracelets... what are you alls thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
