This Must Be Citizen Campanola Month: Grandaddy Of Campanola Grand Complication Watches Available
I know what you are thinking. With all these CItizen Campanola watches that I keep talking about, how could they be as rare as I say they are? Well they are rare, but great ones seem to be showing up alot lately. So lets be fortunate for that. If it was November, I would say it is a harvest/Thanksgiving treat.So after all is said about Citizen Campanola watches, this Grand Complication is by far my favorite version. I of course have one, which I reviewed here lovingly. The Citizen Campanola Grand Complication ref. AH4000-01X is the finest example of what Citizen can produce in terms of case beauty, and fit and finish. There is little I can reiterate here that I have not expressed in my reivew of the watch, which I encourage you to read.On eBay right now, is a brand new Citizen Campanola Grand Complication in my favorite flavor. With the comfortable brown alligator strap, hand polished case, and hand painted Japanese rosewood dial. No watch I own gets complimented more often. And I have

Tag Heuer Aquaracer 500M And Grand Carrera Calibre 36 Watches
The two watches who received the award are the new Tag Heuer Grand Carrera Calibre 36 and the Aquaracer Heuer new tag 500 M Calibre 5 movement. The Grand Carrera Calibre 36 is a strange watch with a concept of sound design for measure 1/10 of a second accuracy in its complication chronograph - in a unique way. The best way to appreciate it is to see the video here. This is a cool concept, but will not be a seller of volume high as the Aquaracer 500 M. the new Aquaracer model is very well done - really advance the concept of a "professional diver watch" for Tag Heuer. You can learn more about what I think the Tag Heuer Aquaracer 500 m here. It has an automatic movement, 500 metres from the resistance to water and comes in different colours and materials that each have a strong industrial feeling which is still being a timepiece inline good taste. Recipients of the fair if you ask me. Through the Europa Star. Gallery site: Tag Heuer Grand Carrera Calibre 36 Watch

Is the 26120st being discontinued
I saw a 26120st at the AD in Abu Dhabi yesterday. Incredible watch. It felt very good on my wrist as well.I'm not in the market for a new watch at the moment, but the salesman said they wouldn't be getting anymore of these in. Are they being discontinued?The sticker price was 73K AED (about 22,300 USD).

The Planet Ocean GTM GoodPlanet is in (but not incoming)

I currently don't have a GMT in the line-up so I had high expectations on this watch, specially after seeing Ruckdee's excellent photos and review.The PO-GMT GP package is beautiful with a big bamboo box. My first impressions was: wow, this is a solid piece. 43.5mm and more than 17mm thick (probably 17.25 or 17.5) and it is heavy. I don't have the exact weight but at least 200 grams, which puts it exactly in the same class as the Rolex Deepsea. Unfortunately, I find that problematic because as much as I adore the DSSD I think it is top-heavy and quite often uncomfortable to wear. The PO-GMT is in the same superweight-class but lacks the adjustable clasp, which is a life-saver on the DSSD. This might not be a big minus for many or most people, it is just that I don't need another DSSD, which I often have to take off my wrist when working at the computer, or i
