Basel Preview: Blancpain Half Time Zone Watch
Blancpain previews its first Villeret Demi-Fuseau Horaire: a travel watch that allows the second time zone to be set in half-hour increments. We are all familiar with the standard 24 time zones that differ by one hour, but many countries, including India, Australia and Canada also use half-hour or “offset” time zones. Find specs and wallpaper for this new model from Blancpain inside. Blancpain’s new dual time zone model is very user friendly.

Swirlies and hairline scratches on polished WG case
I know the answer to this question before even asking it, but I want to know all of your thoughts on swirls and hairline scratches on a brand new PP in the AD case. Other than getting the watch factory sealed it seems as though anything that is displayed at an AD will have that plastic or tape wrap over the case. But once a pair of human hands handles a highly polished PP case it seems as though it gets the micro scratches. Would this bother anyone in the slightest when purchasing a new watch? Obviously demanding a new factory sealed references isn't always an option. Is this just how it goes when handling these highly polished pieces? Besides I would guess I would get the same scratches on it during the first few days of ownership.

Who Loves Rolex Blue?
Lately, I have been drooling over the blue WG Sub. I've always liked the blue Pelagos, too, and have occasional thoughts of picking one up.Do the GMT BLNR and BLRO have the same blue color on the bezel as the Sub?The blue dial SkyDweller and DJ41 are also gorgeous, as well as having the latest and greatest movements. The blue dial 39 OP is nice, however the green hour accents mar it for me.
