Hands-On: The Les Indomptables de Cartier Decor Watch
It is no secret that Cartier does luxury well. As one of the most iconic watch and jewelry brands in the business (and they have been for decades), Cartier never ceases to amaze me in how well they create such beautifully crafted objects. Launched in April of this year, Les Indomptables de Cartier Décor Watch is from the Metiers d’Arts collection is no exception. At first glance it appears to be just a pretty watch with a Panther covering part of the dial. That is until you take it in your hands and realize that the Panther is in fact removable AND a brooch. This type on innovative design exactly why Cartier is one of the best. 1 OF 6 Les Indomptables de Cartier Décor Watch is part of a 30-piece collection and was designed and created at the Cartier Metiers d’Arts Maison in La Chaux-de-Fonds. HODINKEE published a write up on the Maison after it opened earlier this year. The Maison is a converted farmhouse with each floor dedicated to a different

Traded my ROO for a Hat
Was at the AP Service Center yesterday in Clearwater to turn in my 15710ST for it's 3rd year warranty check. Hopefully will get the watch back in about 4 weeks but they gave me this fine AP Hat to alleviate the wait time and got a private tour of the facility - quite amazing but no photos allowed.

Is there a Panerai you are waiting for????
One that doesn't exist I mean....yet. I'm hopeful that they'll make some more 232/249 style cases or do more variations of the 610/609. Basically, I like the thinner, lower profile Radiomirs in 45 or 47mm. I love the 424/449 but the case proportions just don't make me buy it. I don't know, it just is to curvy if that makes sense. If they would do a SLC in a thinner radiomir case, I'd have to get. Put that 8 day movement in there and it would be even better.I would also like a 657 in a Radiomir case with maybe a flat dial. That would make an awesome daily. Auto, Date, GMT.Also, why not a white Radiomir......Can't get enough.Alas, I'll be waiting for some time.What about you guys?

Need some help deciding...
Hi all,Thanks for chiming in. I got a call from my AD today about a piece I was kind of on the list for. It is the new moon phase Cellini. I wanted to see this piece in person and decide if I wanted to buy it or not. When I saw it in person today, I really did like the watch. It wore very comfortably. However, here is the issue. I saw an ever rose sky dweller on a strap and it caught my attention as well. When I got home I did some research and found out the sky dweller on a strap could be had for around 25k used which is roughly around the same price for a new moon phase Cellini. Which one would you guys go for? Here are some shots of the watches on my actual wrist. Added a picture of the blue dial ss sky dweller on the bracelet for another opinion!Thanks for looking!

Like New Datejust 41 w/ Roman Dial - Good Price?
Hello, I just recently joined the forum, but have been lurking for a little while and I am looking at making my first Rolex purchase. My local Rolex Dealer has a Datejust 41 w/ Roman Dial, White Gold Fluted Bezel and oyster bracelet for $7,500. They are selling it as used due to the fact that someone purchased and registered it and later brought it back and the warranty is not transferable. Still has factory stickers, box, papers etc. Not sure on the serial number, but store manager says its a 2017 model. I honestly just have not idea what is considered a good buy, or if this is overpriced. I am very new to Rolex, I have a Tudor Pelagos, and Omega Speedmaster currently, but would like to add to my collection. I am looking for advice in regards to price and some general direction. Thanks in advance, I look forward to hearing ya'lls great advice.
