The "It's Good To Be King Watch:" Backes & Strauss Berkeley Diamond Watch
Ah...back way before you were even a sprinkle of DNA in your ancestors' gene pool, Backes and Strauss was supplying the world with precious precious diamonds. This was in 1789, when I hear diamonds were still cut using dinosaur teeth, or something similar. From diamond supply all over the navigable planet, to headquarters in London, Backes and Strauss was supplying the landed aristocracy all over with shiny bling. There is bling-worthy, and then there is top-of-the-heap classy that will get even royalty to take notice of the not so small fortune on your wrist. This is where the Backes and Strauss watches come in.The Franck Muller Group -owned Backes and Strauss watch division has a mission that seems pretty simple. In my own words; make really nice, well designed watches, that are prohibitively expensive, with lots of diamonds. Despite this lofty ambition and young nature as a watch maker, they are succeeding. My favorite among their growing line, is the Men's Berkeley watch. And what

Appearance of Breguet Marine Royale Alarm Watch
A window to the top centre of the dial indicates you whether or not the alarm is activated. Other complications are a power reserve indicator, the date and time, of course. The large pusher at the 08 is used to turn the alarm on and off. With lots of decoration Guilloche throughout the shows, the 45 mm wide 18 k rose gold case applied rubber to more easily manipulate the pushers. A special claw between the Crowns may be used to secure the diving bezel rotation if necessary as to not move not accidentally it. All these features handy, to share the Breguet REF. 5847BR/32/5ZU is a very capable diver 300 metres from the resistance to the water.

15202 or 15400??
I am heading towards a 3 watch collection lifestyle and have already chosen the 2 first, a PP 5712 in SS, a Rolex sub LV aka the Hulk, and as a third am pulled towards an AP RO, but am hesitating a lot, until today between a Dual time or plain dial, and now between the 2 models mentioned above, in any case in blue, I know my PP will have a blue dial but it's my fav color.just don't know which to put, the Jumbo looks great but is only 39mm, have never tried one but like 40mm+, for me the PP 5712 is at the limit of my size factors, it's ok because very thin, so don't know about the JUMBO.About the 15400 I like the 41mm and the fact that there is a second hand.Is there a difference between the 2121 movement and the 3120? Except that the 3120 has a second hand?For thickness it's 1,7mm difference, in other words almost nothing.The Jumbo blue dial looks lighter blue than the 15400 on the site's pics, is it really the case or just a lighting question?Also do the dials change color like Nauti

My first Speedy....
Got this beauty from my girlfriend as a gift for my 40th birthday...Have to say I love it, have had one on my short list for over 10 years but somehow I never pulled the trigger...Switched the bracelet for vintage leather...And my current lineup....

Finally.....my first PP 5167
I'm really speechless about my new 5167. It's such a nice watch - so well executed, so comfortable and refined but so casual. Man, I don't know if I'll be wearing my AP RO again for a while. The dial texture is amazing. :)
