SIHH 2014 Preview: 3 Tourbillon Watches from Vacheron Constantin, Greubel Forsey, & Ralph Lauren
With less than two weeks before the 2014 SIHH watch fair kicks off in Geneva, the luxury watch brands exhibiting there continue to send sneak peeks of several new watches set to debut at the show this year. This week, we take a look at three new watches from three very different brands but with one thing in common: all of them have tourbillons.Vacheron Constantin adds another exclusive timepiece to its Collection Excellence Platine, which it launched in 2006. The venerable Swiss brand introduced its Malte Tourbillon in rose gold in 2012, and this year’s version is in a case of 950 platinum. Like other watches in the collection, the Vacheron Constantin Malte Tourbillon Collection Excellence also uses platinum for the dial (which has a sandblasted finish), the folding clasp (which is in the style of Vacheron’s Maltese Cross emblem), and even for the threads in the saddle-stitched, dark blue Mississippi alligator leather strap.The dial has the inscription “Pt 950,”

Omega Geneve Dynamic
HelloAfter getting some great advice and guidance on my Milsub 5513 on the Rolex Vintage forum I thought I'd nip over here regarding my Omega Geneve Dynamic.As with the 5513, the Omega belonged to my old man and it was passed to me when he died in 2008.We think it was purchased for his 30th birthday which would mean it was bought in 1976. As there's no day/date function I presume it's either the 1967-1974 model (165.0039) or the 1968-1971 (ST 135.0033). Other than that I can't find out much more and still haven't found any photos that match my example.Photos below, so as with the Milsub, any advice gratefully recieved!RegardsH

Heartbreak with SD43
So after waiting 6 months to get my hands on my first new Rolex (normally a vintage Sub guy) it finally arrived, a brand spanking new SD43. After trying every micro adjustment and combination of number of link etc, I have come to the decision that it's just not comfortable for me. It is a seriously beautiful watch, but for my 7 inch wrist it just seems too heavy and not ideal for the daily watch that I was hoping for. I guess its back to Vintage for me. Sometimes you gotta know when to fold em.
