Bell & Ross BR01-93 GMT AND BR01-92 Gold Ingot Watches: So opposite, So The Same
Both of these watches are Bell & Rosses, and both are BR01 watches. Though they are like twins separated at birth. One went the path of luxury while the other spent their years in a discipline rich military environment. I like that two personalities can come from the same type of origin, and both are useful watches in their own respect. The first watch is a new one, but it was announced a while back. it is the Bell & Ross BR01-93 GMT. Previous to this, only the BR03 watch had a GMT model, and it was a bit smaller than the BR01.The BR01-93 GMT is currently one of my favorite watches in the BR01 lineup. It looks good, is easy to read, and simply feels fun. I use the terms fun a lot these days when discussing watch. What I mean is a design that embellishes on its theme in a charming and polished manner. For example, the GMT hand didn't need to be made as big, or in orange, but it was, and it works well that way. There is something almost cartoonish about it, and that to me, is fun

Present: Audemars Piguet ROO Panda (26170) or Audemars Piguet ROO Diver (15707)?

I have to be honest, I've never been a watch guy nor did I have any interest in it unlike my brother. He said I can have any watch I want with a max of $30.000. Well, I had to catch-up and read a lot on high-end watches to educate myself a bit (but it's still not enough).Anyway, I decided to go for a brand that he doesn't own one piece of, and that the AP brand ( royal oak offshore). I think this brand/series is something that fits my lifestyle the best: I am and always have been a sports fanatic: I'm generally a lot outdoors, going to the gym 5 days a week, do competitive swimming, as well as swimming in hotel pools, in lakes and oceans, do a lot of mountainbiking, motorcycle riding, travel a lot around the world: and would like to be prepared for every situation that can pos

Omega Co-Axial movement...
I'm wondering if their co-axial movement in the Omega DeVille line is an inhouse movement?This is the movement (they removed the auto wind module).

5167 vs 5164 - thicker? heavier?
Hey guys, most threads about the two aquanauts refer to the 5164 being slightly heavier and thicker. Since it's been difficult to find them both out in the wild - does any know how much thicker and heavier? Or is it so small, it's negligent? I know a couple of people on the forum have both - what are your thoughts? Did you get the 5167 as a daily wearer and the 5164 more for business and travel?
