Baume & Mercier Capeland Shelby Cobra Limited Editions
Baume & Mercier, which began a partnership with Carroll Shelby, Inc. in 2015, expands its collection of limited-edition chronograph watches inspired by the famed Shelby Cobra race cars this year. The newest models, introduced at SIHH 2016, take their distinctive design codes from the Shelby Cobra CSX2128, the 289-series roadster that won the 12 Hours of Sebring race in 1963 to become one of the most successful Cobras in history.The Baume & Mercier Capeland Shelby Cobra 1963 Limited Edition comes in two versions, each with a 44-mm-diameter case. One is in stainless steel with satin-brushed and polished finishing, attached to a black alligator strap with white contrast stitching and yellow, rubberized calfskin lining (pictured at top); the other “Competition” edition (below) has black ADLC coating on the steel case and comes on a strap made of black, vulcanized? rubber, the same material used in the wheels of a Cobra race car.Other design features inspired by the Shel

Thinking of narrowing down the collection to two pieces...
Hello all,So I've been contemplating narrowing down the collection to a couple pieces (seeing how long that will last for!). I've been given an opportunity to pick up a Lange platinum Datograph for what I believe is a very attractive price so that is one of the two and the other options are either my Patek 5980 1a blue dial or my 5711 1a blue dial. So my question is (and I realize this is very subjective) would it be redundant to have two chrono's or is the 5711 (being dressier) covering the same category as the Dato? I'm having a tough time deciding which to keep and which to let go of! Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!-Carlos

New DJ II From AD - Opinion ??
Hi all, I'm new here. I haven't had a Rolex in 5+ years and don't have any collection currently. I have been itching to get back in and prefer the DJ 2 over the new 41. Sadly so it seems SS models are in crazy demand and with this model being discontinued for some time there isn't a whole lot to come by. I have always purchased my watches from a local trusted seller but never an AD. I want to keep these watches for the long haul and think the AD route may be beneficial so I am asking what you guys think regarding a discount knowing the above. DJ 2 Fluted SS black stick dial msrp $9100 - 13% discount selling $7900 shipped to my office. In the past I have only been a 20%+ strike price guy but with the current situation I know there's better out there but I haven't had any luck finding it from an AD. Heck even the 2nd market is close in price. What do you guys think and can anyone help with a better deal from an AD?P.S. I was offered 17% off on the rhodium diamond but I didn't
