Damasko DA44 Watch
One of the most notoriously difficult to find German watch brands is Damasko. They tend to make cool, high-function tool watches for a fair price. If you are a fan of Sinn, you'll also like Damasko - and it goes without saying that Damasko's designs are highly inspired by Sinn timepieces (which are also less than ironically hard to find).If I could give some advice to Sinn and Damasko it would be to understand that pieces such as this would do much better in America if anyone in the US could ever find them. Let's talk distribution people! Sometimes I don't understand how these businesses operate without basic notions of doing business outside of Europe. But I digress!New for Damasko is a model called the DA44 which will come in both a 42mm wide bead-blasted steel case and a black-coated steel case. This is when it starts to get interesting.

Introducing: The Patek Philippe 5170R �C The Classic Manually Wound Patek Goes Rose Gold
Okay, so nothing super new here, but this is the type of thing that will get a hardcore PP guy going �C the 5170 has been shown in rose gold! The 5170 is, for the uninitiated, the classic manually wound, two-register, in-house chronograph from Patek Philippe. You can read a full review of it here. So what's the deal for the 5170R? Essentially you have the same watch as the last 5170G with black dial and leaf hands, but now in a rose case with silvery opaline dial (5170R-001), and black dial (5170R-010). The 5170G with white pulsation scale is now discontinued, though the black Breguet dial is still in limited production. 1 OF 2 We've got the same superb in-house, column-wheel chronograph, that same 39.4 mm case, and all the fixings you'd expect with a Patek of this stature. Price will be exactly the same as the 5170G, or just north of $80,000. More here and here. 2 OF 2 Follow us during Baselworld on HODINKEE Live, available on desktop, mobile, or in the free

Going to London next week looking for a Nautilus
Called a few places in London and was told 2-3 years waiting list for a Rose Gold 5711 or a 5980 on Leather. Anyone know if that is the issue across London?

AD discounting ladies 26mm datejust
Just chatting with my local AD and he says: Rolex has retired the ladies 26mm Datejust in favor of the new 28mm Datejust. I still have a handfull of the 26mm...brand new and 25% off... So is this worth a look? Ignore sales tax as there is a way to avoid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
