SIHH 2015 Preview: Richard Mille RM 33-01

This watch offers the striking good looks of the RM 33 Extra Flat, with the added convenience of a date display. In typical Richard Mille fashion, the movement is something to behold.Most manufacturers produce primarily round watches, and shaped cases are the exception to the rule. Richard Mille takes the opposite approach, but then this brand is anything but traditional. From the launch of the brand's first watch, the RM 001, it has been known for bold, tonneau cases, with the more conservative round and rectangular cases providing styling counterpoints.?The Richard Mille RM 33 Extra Flat, from 2011, is a striking piece, but what to do if you prefer a date display? Now those who fancy the RM 33's looks can have their cake and eat it too. The new RM 33-01 adds a date, discretely tucked away at 7 o'clock to preserve the balanced, symmetrical look.The round case may be traditional, but the RM

Affordable Vintage: 1970's Longines Chronograph Diver
What if I told you that you could get an over-sized colorful chronograph from a celebrated marque with a legendary movement and a super compressor case for under $3k. Impossible?

Black dial with white subdials at 3 and 9 and a black subdial at 6, This variant is the first execution and comes with a rotating countdown bezel. They also made it with three white subdials on a black dial with a rotating inner bezel and a fixed bezel with a tachymeter scale for water skiing. Water skiing, you say? One of the Longines’ executives must have been a fan.The Super Compressor case was introduced by E. Piqeurez SA (EPSA) in 1961. It was conceived as an improvement for the diving watch. Instead of rotating a bezel on the outside of the watch, which could get knocked about and throw your dive time off, the Sup

Help with Speedmaster Purchase
I'm thinking of buying a Speedmaster , there are so many models I thought I'd asked the experts before taking the plunge.

What happens with most your other watches when you go Patek?
Just curious what you guys do.Doesn't necessarily have to be Patek, but basically a luxury high end watch that you work hard to purchase.When I purchased my First Rolex, no other watch got any wrist time.I just couldn't justify keeping the Rolex at home as she could be used as a beater, a dressy, a sporty watch.PP is a whole other league.I know it won't make my Rolex redundant, as she is still the perfect beater, but I am curious.
