IWC Portuguese Yacht Club Chronograph ��Ocean Racer��
Boat races and watches �C a weird and yet?seemingly ever-green combination. A few years ago, IWC joined the craze and has?chosen to sponsor the Volvo Ocean Race, a remarkably challenging, round-the-world race that starts this October in Alicante, Spain, and terminates in Gothenburg, Sweden, in June 2015. With regards to?IWC's role more specifically, the brand is?the event's Official Timekeeper, partner of?the Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing team, and sponsor of the 24-hour speed record.And while that does seem like a total overkill for someone not that?into the world of competitive sailing, this web of collaborations?does result in a surprisingly?restrained, yet sporty-looking chronograph that arguably makes a lot more sense than the sponsorship-frenzy behind it. The watch dedicated to?the event is the?IWC Portuguese Yacht Club Chronograph Ocean Racer, a limited edition of just 1,000 pieces.It was almost three years ago that we discussed its predecessor (article here),?the 2011-2012 limited ed

I can get just one PP, so 5711 Blue dial or 5130P?
The 5711 is so popular that I can't even get on a waiting list at ADs.And the premiums that are being asked on the gray market for a 5711 are incredible. So, I am actually considering getting another PP, the 5130P WT instead. I have no world timer watch or even a GMT watch, so the 5130 would add a new aspect and variety to my collection, although I would never travel with it.Then again, should I wait and see about trying to get a 5711, even though the prices are climbing as I type? I know that I have to ultimately decide for myself, but am curious what others would choose, if the option was between a 5711 or a 5130?

Which to choose: 5970j or 5070p
I can afford only one watch after getting rid of my 5960r and 5980r. For my offer, 5970j is only 14k more expensive than 5070p. Both watches are in like new condition. I read a lot on the internet regarding these 2 models. 5970j, being the rarest as many mentioned, doesn't indeed reflect the price any higher than g, r or p. And the main reason I love about 5970 is its grand complication plus a huge disappointment on 5270.5070p price is almost doubled to its predecessors j, g and r. Still a legendary model.Both watches can be easily obtained in the grey market, at least for now. They are not that rare imo. In terms of beauty, I must admit that I love them both equally. However, if you can only get to choose one, which would be your final choice and why. I still have 5712r left. Thx in advance for the comments.

2017 Daytona diamond dial two tone
AD told me Rolex does not allow upgrade from my diamond dial to MOP diamond dial on my Daytona 116503. Anyone can enlighten me why consumers preferred to wait for stainless steel when two tone is readily available. Is it because of price wise.
