BEST FROM: watches-dealer & Friends April 25, 2014
For the end of April, we check out more watches that were debuted at Baselworld 2014, including Tissot's new solar-powered T-Touch, Patek Philippe's new steel Annual Calendar Chronograph and more. We also review Omega's ground-breaking Seamaster Aqua Terra 15,000 Gauss watch and talk about the new watch certification, Observatoire Chronometrique+. Finally, we round off by chatting with Seiko CEO Shinji Hattori, and find out how Rolex is staying relevant in this high-tech digital age.1. Girard-Perregaux Constant Escapement L.M. Watch In Pink Gold Hands-OnLast year, Girard-Perregaux amazed the world with its Constant Escapement L.M. watch. It is?not everyday that one sees a whole new escapement design, much less one that was designed to work as a constant force escapement and one that was crafted out of high-tech silicon. This year, Girard-Perregaux is offering its breakthrough watch in pink gold and we thought it was a good chance for us to get reacquainted with this breathtaking watch.

Well that escalated quickly..incoming!
Called around local ADs and found one and even got a small discount! Wow what an amazing piece!

Questions regarding Planet Ocean 8500
Good morning everyone,Pardon interrupt. First I want to say thank you for your greetings on my first post.Last Saturday I visited an AD and have tried 3 Omega models, Aqua Terra, Semaster 300m and Planet Ocean 8500 42mm. The Planet caught my attention. If you won't mind, I would like to ask some questions regarding the Planet Ocean. Due to it's case thickness, do you find it an issue wearing it every day? Do you have any advice regarding the Planet Ocean?Thank you so much for all your help.My best,Alex

Dangerous9 Incomings
Before I start, be warned that this post might be very unhealthy for your bank accounts!Following the acquisition of my 737 in August this year, I started jonesing for another strap. The brown Teju lizard that John Glance at Dangerous9 crafted for me is a work of art so the logical thing to do was get in touch and see what else he could do. From the great feedback I had from you guys on the colour combinations of my Panerai OEM straps, particularly on my 689 and 737, I decided to go for another Teju lizard but this time in racing tan. Whist we have to be careful considering colours seen on a computer monitor (they can vary significantly between brands), I thought that the racing tan was the colour to go for; some of you said that the Panerai OEM JV gold took the eye away from the dials of the 689 and 737 and I could see where you were coming from. The racing tan therefore seemed perfect in that it was a similar shade to the JV but nowhere near as shouty.Back in late August and earl

Two choices
Guys I have found a great opportunity. I have found someone who have two lovely PAM's in mint shape and he wants to sell just one. I can pick up either the 233 or a 422. Forget cost and other pieces, which is a more desireable reference. I have tried both on and love them both.
