Here at last...
About a year or more ago, I was mooching around the various new and second hand dealers in the Bond Street area and �C for the first time �C I tried on a Patek Nautilus 5711�� a watch that I'd admired from afar but never actually handled or worn myself. There was no doubt that the finish was exquisite, but for some reason I couldn't quite to get to grips with the case shape (or, rather, the hinged non-crown side). It did teach me one thing, if nothing else, though; sometimes, the only way you can appreciate the wonderful craftsmanship that goes into many of the higher-end watches is to actually pick them up, wear them and scrutinise them properly. I'm not saying that you'll then be able to see where the value is because we all know that luxury products don't work that way, but what I am saying is that photos alone will never do them justice. I mulled and mulled over the Nautilus, but deep down I knew it wasn't calling to me like it needed to. Around the time that I realised I wouldn't b

Well I thought I was going to be a proud new owner of a Rolex Explorer...
Well I thought I would be a proud owner of a new Rolex Explorer 1 (214270) yesterday but I thought wrong... (apologize for the long story telling...)I ventured into trying a new AD as my typical AD just sold the one they had in stock a week back. I also wanted to give a chance with this group as they came well regarded amongst the local watch community and they carried a couple brands exclusively that I might be interested in for the future. I did my research and decided to go with the Explorer for its subtlety over the No Date Sub. I fancy time only pieces and just loved the look of it for an everyday watch. I went and tried on the piece mid last week. Everything fit perfectly and decided it was for me. Now the “fun” part begins... Knowing the depth of our watch market and accessibility with both pre-owned, well respected non AD members, and even other non local ADs, etc I knew there are a variety options available for me. And given that, I set my expection for the piece.

POLL: SUBC 114060 vs BLNR 116710 ��Batman��
If you were going to stay with one watch, which one of these classics would you choose?
