Hamilton Watches & Hollywood Movies
Logically speaking it should not matter to me whether or not a watch I like was worn by characters in movies. Though practically it does seem to matter. The reality is that seeing characters we enjoy watching in movies (or TV shows) wearing watches we like helps boost our perception of those watches and those brands. It also helps frame the personality of watches. Most watch advertising has timepieces floating around like art in space. In reality however, their true personality comes out while on the wrist. Hamilton is a brand that has had a very long relationship with Hollywood, and whose watches can be found on numerous wrists in both films and television shows.The process of getting characters in movies to wear a watch takes three forms. First, it can be an actor who is really excited about a watch and wants their characters to wear the piece. This is actor-driven placement. Second is prop master or wardrobe placement. This is where someone in the props or costume department places

15451ST.ZZ.1256ST.01 vs. 15451ST.ZZ.1256ST.02
Good day GentsI am considering a purchase that id quite frankly like to understand a bit more before pulling the trigger, the following RO models are my options:15451ST.ZZ.1256ST.01 - Black Dial, Diamond Bezel15451ST.ZZ.1256ST.02 - Grey Dial, Diamond BezelKindly let me know if the Grey Dial is a superior product, i am told it is more rare and difficult to source, whilst the black dial is more readily available. Theres a price difference of approx. 23%; although i do like the black dial on the wrist, i want to be sure its the most sensible decision.

Patek Madness (now 4)
Hi everyone,Just last month I had an opportunity to pick up 2 more Pateks BNIB from the AD -they are both pieces that I thought were good ways to build a stronger relationship with my AD without losing much if any money. They are still both unworn. Feel a bit funny since I'm sitting now on 4 Pateks.Current collection is now:5167a Aquanaut - On bracelet and on black deployment rubber with brown rubber oem as well.5711a Nautilus - White(New) 5711r Nautilus - Rose gold - Paid MSRP(New) 5130r Worldtime - Rose Gold - 15% discount off MSRP (interesting since this is a discontinued model)I am in no hurry but it seems that in the end, the 5711 White and the worldtime are the 2 pieces i would probably end up with (one for dressy casual and one for formal) and wear my rolex GMT 1675 as the beater. At the same time, I am wondering whether I should hold on to the 5711r long-term (safe queen), wear it (take off stickers) or sell now.With the aquanaut, seems that prices are now around $24-$25k and r

new patek 5119rg
I am fortunate enough to finally obtain my 1st Patek & it's a 5119 rg from David SW. Excellent seller and very easy transaction. I initially wanted a 5119 in white gold, but after seeing it in person, was a little underwhelmed. There weren't any yellow gold available and then I saw the RG model & it's beautiful! I hope these pictures with the attachments come out. 36mm is not small at all for my wrists and it appears a perfect size for a dress watchDSC_0437.jpgDSC_0436.jpg

Afraid to wear my Daytona....
My every day watch is normally my 16610 2010 Sub with a 2016 GMT clasp (perfect combination) bought nos. I use this most days and will wear it anywhere but it is in pretty perfect condition still. Now I have a DaytonaC, very lucky to get it from my fantastic AD in the U.K who love their watches too. I have worn it quite a bit and to be frank it does have some scratching on the bracelet etc which tends to show the marks quite easily.Then Daytona is very pretty and I like it a lot and aesthetically it is superior to the Sub but to me it feels very delicate when I wear it.I would love to put it on and used it most days but I am so scared of marking it that I default to the Sub. The Daytona I feel needs to be babied to keep it looking tip top while the Sub just takes everything and still looks superb. This probably has loads to do with the PCL but the Daytona just feels like a dress watch and not what Rolex has been to me as rugged (via Subs and GMTs that I have owned).I am a year in with
