Bremont Oracle II Review
Only a couple of months ago, Bremont announced a new partnership with the America's Cup Event Authority and Oracle Team USA, serving as the Official Timing Partner of the 35th America's Cup (yacht racing, but crazy high-tech ones that ride above the water). Following that, they released four watches in collaboration with their new patterns. Two classically inspired pieces called the American Cup series; a three-hander and chronograph, both of which hint at Marine chronometers. And two sport watches for the Oracle Team USA Series, based on their dive watch line, the Supermarines.While they are all attractive in their own right, the Oracle II really stood out for me. Of the watches, it felt the most like a standalone model that would occupy a unique place in Bremont's line up. It also riffed on a special edition from 2014 I was smitten with, the Terra Nova.

Largest AP vintage collection
I don't know if this is old news, but I just read a Hodinkee article saying 89 vintage AP watches from the personal collection of Marcus was purchased by AP and headed to the AP museum..hodinkee/articles/the...udemars-piguetSome of you may know that Marcus has a large AP dealership on Bond Street in London and is also well connected in the watch industry.I have a book from the Marcus AP exhibit back in 2012 and some of these vintage pieces are nothing like their current Royal Oak collection AP is now better known for. If anyone is interested in this book with the vintage AP watches, it can be downloaded from the Marcus website.

His ROO and Her RO and a clock for me!
Wife and I have been looking for complimentary watches for some time. This year I picked up the 44mm RG novelty. Over the holiday season, we ended up at Magnum in the Caymans and she ended up with this 33mm RG RO. I was looking at a PP5711 blue face down the road but just didn't love it enough... to my wife's benefit :).I did a get a small bit of my AP fix with the purchase of an AP dealer wall clock. I have a picture of it but have not yet had the benefit of seeing it in person because it is being shipped to me. A big thank you to Conkers for going out of his way to help me get this from his AD!

noob here... just an intro...
so my buddy said i should join these forums too... i think he wants my next watch purchase to be a rolex...but here is my current baby...i got her a month ago after a long drawn out battle with tag heuer... i originally had a tag heuer carrera that was in sent in to service 4 times... each time it came back with something else wrong (watch was 2 years old and spend 1 year of its life in service)... finally my AD just said here is ur money back please pick a new watch... so I jumped on the black bond chrono... i have always loved the bond smps but never liked any watch with a blue face... when i saw this... i was like i had to have it... so far she has been running great +2.5 each day... and is just plain sexy...so now next on my list... a Omega 42mm Planet Ocean (next month or march)... then maybe eventually a Omega Speedmaster and definitly the Rolex Submariner in 2010 when the new model is released...
