LOUIS ERARD Excellence Automatic Regulator
Louis Erard �C Excellence Automatic RegulatorWatches with regulators have a seductive power: they grab your attention and impel you to adapt to a way of telling the time that couldn't be more different from the classic way. Time is split with the minutes taking centre stage whilst the hours and seconds are relegated to support acts in sub-dials.Louis Erard unveiled a new model at 2016's Baselworld: Excellence Automatic Regulator. It is powered by a self-winding Sellita SW200 calibre which features a complication designed by Dubois D��praz inside the 42mm steel case.The silver dial is splashed with vertical "C?tes de Geneve" and two horizontal screwdown strips which house the large blue minute hand. A small blue javelin-shape hand at 12 glides over the Roman hour numerals whilst the seconds lie at 6 and the date at 3.Price: 2,800 CHFBy Sharmila Bertin

What do you guys think of the new black dial 5170? I find it very beautiful and in terms of looks I think, but that's just me you don't need to agree , that it is a direct competitor to the 5070P, of course I would probably choose the 5070 as it has a blue dial and I am the biggest sucker in the world for blue dials��The 5170 in white dial was nice but I am not a big fan of white dials, the black dial is very close in looks, again just my opinion, to the 5370, of course one is split seconds the other not, but here are 4 pics, of 5370 and 5170, front and back, ok the back 5170 is not of the black dial, but it gives an idea, of course in the best of worlds they would be at the same price and all would be happy, but considering the price difference would you pay that much more for having a split or would you just get the 5170?If I could afford it, even if I am not a chrono fan I think I would get a 5170 black dial, I do find it very beautiful, and the movement like always for Patek manual

Panerai Domed Sapphire
I'm thinking more and more to buy my 1st Panerai. I'm spending hours on this forum looking at pictures and pretty much made my mind up that I really love a domed one. I think up to 44mm would be ok but 47mm seems to be to large on my wrist. Is it just me or do most domed Panerais come in 47mm?I do love the 233 but have seen some very nice other ones which I do not know the model numbers at the moment but they all look like 47's. My dream Pam would be around 44mm with domed sapphire and a brown suede leather strap. Any suggestion from our Panerai experts would be much appreciated. I really want a keeper and that's the main reason for taking my time. Thanks in advance,Frank

Weighing in at 149.5 grams and 40 mm wide
Is the Sub the perfect balance between weight and size? 149.5 grams and 40 mm. I wonder how this compares to other all time favs.
