Watches NEWS
Picked up a sweetie today.
I think it's rather nice.
New Addition...
About a month ago I had a chance to catch up with an old friend of mine who is a fellow watch lover... We seem to share similar tastes in watches; as we both own a 5146 and an AP 15300 Black Dial. However, he also had this beautiful Calatrava in Rose Gold which he let me wear for most of the time we were together... and ever since then I was hooked... I just wanted to add one to my collection. I found the Rose Gold just perfect and subtle with its warm tone.My friend's Calatrava:So a few days ago I came across this beautiful Rose Gold Calatrava based AC, the 5396R and the price seemed just right. I couldn't pass on the opportunity and today am a proud owner of this beautiful time piece.I think it will make a great addition along side my 5146G.Thank you for sharing in my joy...Happy Watching...
Panerai enroute to me from a trade.
I recently made a trade for a Panerai 244 that is like new and virtually unworn in it's original box with everything. Has the golden brown oem croc strap and deployant buckle. This is a 2009 and I was very pleased to get it, especially considering it's condition. I know lots of people prefer the larger Panerai's and look down on the 40mm's but I'm not one of them. Especially considering my daily wear tool watch is a Rolex SD40. Should be here Friday and I am anxious.Photos are courtesy of the person I obtained the watch from.
PM musings
I've been thinking about my first PM purchase, which I'm hoping to do by the summer, and have been between a gold sub and the DayDate 40. Tried on the gold sub here:https://.rolexforums/showthread.php?t=597309What I didn't take into account was the DayDate II, as EVERYONE seems to love the the DayDate 40's proportions and lines. Saw this at the AD and fell in love on sight, but looking at the pictures now, it just seems a bit...wide. Unfortunately, they didn't have the YG with silver romans dial, so will continue to try on pieces until I find the one that yells buy me!.On another note, has anyone noticed that the rose gold on the DayDate 40 is a bit more copper-ish in tone, as compared to the DayDate II? I actually like the color of this DayDate II, but the DayDate 40 just blends too much with my skin.
Deepsea D-blue Available at AD
The title's pretty self-explanatory, but my AD just offered me a Deepsea D-Blue, which my wrist is unfortunately too small for. If anyone here's interested, PM me for details. The dealer is located in the Bay Area, although they might ship. Just to clarify, I have no skin in the game.
