BEST FROM: watches-dealer & Friends December 20, 2013
As we wind down to the end of December and of the year, we check out a couple of new watches: A. Lange & S?hne's new Lange 1 Moon Phase watch; L. Leroy's Osmior Tourbillon Regulateur Automatique; and Shinola's charming 47mm Runwell. We also speak to Montblanc's new CEO, Jerome Lambert, and also debate upon IWC's brand direction and find out how you can keep your watches clean.I hope you have enjoyed my round-ups thus far, and here's wishing all readers a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!1.

Opinion on steel or leather for speedy pro !
Hi All,So I narrowed it down to either:311.33.42.30.01.001 or 311.30.42.30.01.005.Here is my opinions and PLEASE let me know what you all think.Steel -- Little more expensive / and i can always grab a brown / black leather strap from Hodinkee and be perfectly fine with changing in and out. Am I going to wear the steel band more than the leather? I feel like i won't - What do you guys all do?Leather -- $300-$400 cheaper and I can get which strap I want. But I really don't know if I would like the steel anyway on this watch.Does anyone else like the steel band on the speedy pro? Leather more?Please advise! LOL.Much appreciated.Nick
