Ulysse Nardin Launches Limited Edition Timepiece for Monaco Yacht Show
Ulysse Nardin, a brand steeped in nautical history, is participating for the fourth year as an official sponsor of the prestigious Monaco Yacht Show. To commemorate the occasion, the brand has introduced a new, limited-edition timepiece to its Marine Diver collection.The watch contains a self-winding movement, Caliber UN-26, equipped with a 42-hour power reserve (indicated on the dial at 12 o’clock) and an oversize date display (indicated in a round window at 6 o’clock, along with the small-seconds subdial). As on the previously released Black Sea and Blue Sea editions, the dial and the blue rubber strap are both embossed with a nautical-inspired wave pattern motif.The stainless-steel case, which is a generous 45.8 mm in diameter, has been treated with a sophisticated vulcanization process that gives it a blue rubber coating that the company says increases its comfort on the wrist. Its sapphire exhibition caseback is stamped with the emblem of the principality of Monaco.The

Introducing: The Cartier Drive, A New Men's Watch With An Eye To The Past (Details, Official Pri
This could be the Cartier many of us have been waiting for. In fact, earlier today, when CNN asked each HODINKEE team member to pick one watch that they really liked from the day's presentations, it was the new-shape men's watch from Cartier – the Drive – that I chose. Why? Because I've been dying to find a modern day men's Cartier that fits me, and my taste. The Calibre Chronograph was a step in the right direction, the Calibre Diver even more so, but they were still a little bulky, a little sporty for me. I mean, I own great sports watches from Rolex, Omega, and others, so why buy a Cartier sports watch? That's not what Cartier is to me, but the Drive is exactly what Cartier is to me. It's beautiful, it's refined, it's masculine, and its movement is made in-house! And the price? You're gonna like it. 1 OF 11 The Drive is aimed squarely at men, and men with taste. The Drive de Cartier (Cartier Drive) is a vintage autom

don't know where to post but..
here it goes..Input needed from fellow forumers. I'm thinking of getting back into the AP fold, through the 15400ST( still can't decide which coloured dial). But in order to do that, I would need to let go of a couple of watches from the current collection.As it stands, I have 2 PAM, 372 and 292, and a rolex GMTIIC in my small collection.I was thinking of letting go of the 292, and the GMTIIC for a direct trade, or a little top up from myself.what would you do? quantity over quality or vice versa?thanks

How does is GMT look to you?
Had met a gentlemen selling this yesterday and it appeared that the thing was genuine however the date refused to change so I'm thinking there was something wrong with the 1128 movement. The time was set to safe date change hours (not between 8pm and 2am) but using the hour hand jumping it simply would not change the date to the 6th. Then I tried the the long way with the 24h hand going all the way around past 12 multiple times. Afterwards I checked photos from the listing and the date was still at the 5th so it hasn't changed since he listed for sale. The serial engraving looked a little shallow but the dial and other details looked perfect. How does it look to you?
