New From Perrelet: Air, Sound, and Eternity
For 2009, Perrelet introduces two new watches and a limited edition set with two timepieces in a special case. The first new model, known as the Turbine, takes Perrelet's double rotor design to a new level. The dial-side rotor is transformed into a 12 bladed titanium turbine that covers the whole of the dial. The turbine-inspired rotor spins beneath an outer ring bearing the luminous numbers. Luminous markers on the under dial accentuate the multi-dimensional effect. Turbine models measure 44mm in diameter and are powered by Perrelet's P-181 double-rotor movement. Turn this timepiece over to view angled and polished black lacquered bridges through the sapphire case back. The Turbine collection is available in plain titanium, DLC-treated titanium, and 18K pink gold. Look for Turbines to reach retailers in October.The Maestro Edition by Perrelet is a limited edition set that includes two timepieces in a very special case. The first watch is an automatic 5-minute repeater with hours, minu

Navitimer - Top Gun
I could be missing the listings (unlikely!), but where have all the top gun navitimer models gone (multi-colored dials)...I was in the market for a navi 3 months ago and they seemed to be all over the place, around $3k a pop...not anymore?! Did I miss the boat??

New Bond watch, "The Commander"

New North Flag. Finally. Bracelet question
Had my eye on a North Flag for a few years and never quite managed to pull the trigger. Usually I went for something else like a Black Bay or Pelagos and funds are limited so was content to just hold out. Last summer I was in the AD, ready to buy, watch on my wrist etc and couldnt get any decent sort of deal so once again held off. The watch gods rewarded me a week ago. A stumbled across a brand new with a huge discount. I nearly passed out when seeing a deal on a watch that I had been lusting after for years. Absolutely loving it. Like all Tudors it looks stunning in the flesh (metal) and the attention to detail is incredible. The bracelet at first glance is fairly industrial looking but has polished edges to the links so it sparkles in some light. I seem to struggle to get the bracelet nicely sized and want to buy a decent screwdriver to swap out links. Does anyone know the screw size in the NF bracelet? Ive got a couple of screwdrivers and theyre all too big for the N

16223 or 116223 Need Help! Your thoughts PLEASE
I am considering the purchase of a pre-owned two tone Datejust, either a late 90's 16223 or an early 116223 with fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet and white stick dial, full set. I pretty well know the differences in the two watches. I would appreciate some of your thoughts on the two choices. Price is not a big difference. What about the polished lugs on the newer style, that is one concern.
