Magrette Chronograph Watches
Magrette of New Zealand has just released two watches for pre-order that are the brand's first chronograph watches. The watches contain the same movement and share similar cases, but have their differences. The first watch is the Magrette Moana Pacific Chronograph PVD and the second is the Magrette Regattare Chronograph.With their first chronograph watch Magrette did not want to alienate its loyal followers by pricing the watch too high. At the same time the movement needed to be interesting and useful. Magrette turned to the actually quite impressive Seagull TY-2901 manually wound 30 minute chronograph movement. This is a Chinese made replica of an older movement called the Venus 175. Another watch that used this movement was the Techne Sparrow Hawk that I reviewed here. The Sparrow Hawk sold very well and I attribute that to people liking the nice mixture of interest and value in the movement.Through the exposed caseback you can see the movement - which has the fine look of a vintage

Should I buy 5070G?
I have 5980, 15202, 16710, 2xspeedmaster and Daytona is coming.I'm looking for my first leather strap chronograph from Patek. I really like 5070G but the price is more than double from the list price in 2003. It's also very hard to find a mint condition 5070G.Do you think it's still worth to buy 5070G or should I save more and buy new 5270G?

Please share your thoughts... 5146
Hello everyone...After months and months of trying to make time... find time... then find and AD to try on all the different colour and variants of the 5146 I think I am finally ready to pull the trigger on one! But I can't decide on the gold! YG vs RG!!!My thoughts and concerns...I love the brilliance of the YG... it really stands out... But is it pass��?I did finally try on the RG... it is very beautiful indeed! I love the warm tones of the RG... but will this RG stand the passing trends of the future? Please share your thoughts...Yellow Gold...Rose Gold...

The game has really changed
My buddy bought the 1st Daytona C at this AD. He got the call on 12-24-16 and was out of town so I had to pick it up for him because the watch had to be bought in store and he could not give his credit card number over the phone. I asked today what it would take to buy a white dial 116500 and was told I would get preference if I bought another watch but it would not guarantee me a SS Daytona. He told me with a straight face times have changed and that’s what it would take to get a white dial 116500. I gave him the same straight face and told him get me a D Blue and White dial 116500 at the same time and we have a deal. I think Rolex is really missing the boat with the allocation issue with SS sport watches and alienating their customers. I feel like my money is no good with Rolex with the current condition. I really miss the days where you could walk into an AD and get the watch that you wanted without all the mandated stipulations. I’ve always liked the 116515 and was able

Is it safe to wear your Rolex to Disneyland?
Ha! Gotcha... We just zipped into Orange County last night and will be spending the next two days at Disney Land. As much as I like the rides (I'm a big kid), I love scoping out all the great watches worn there. My wife and kids roll their eyes at me but hey, it is what it is. I'll be the guy rocking the 14060M. It's magic time so we are rolling out. It was tough, but I finally got the teenagers out of bed, so were off. Have a magical day kids...
