Nautica NSR 100 & NMX 650 Budget Friendly Diver Watches
When writing about less expensive watches I aim to ensure that budget options are fun and useful. Taking a host of design cues from both popular Swiss and Japanese dive watches, these two new collections from Nautica aren't too bad at prices which are likely to be under $300 each.What you are looking at is actually two different models. One is the Nautica NSR 100 and the other is the Nautica NMX 650. Both watch families come in a range of colors, but the NSR 100 seems to have a few more options and is the less expensive of the two. The NSR 100 watches are 44mm wide in steel with plastic bezels. The crystals are mineral glass and the cases are water resistant to 100 meters. The NSR 100 is typified by a larger crown and bright colors (aside from the black version) with matching dials, bezels and straps. The straps are actually silicone. I don't have a problem with silicone straps for the most part (aside from the fact that they get really dirty with ease), and you'll notice that people u

Basel News: Introducing The Bell & Ross Red Radar (Live Pics + Video)
Remember the Bell & Ross Compass?? It looked like this.? Just today, we had the chance to see the entire Bell & Ross collection for 2011 and there are some really great looking pieces.? One thing that hasn't changed from B&R is their ability to create an extraordinarily interesting piece from a very basic movement, in most cases the ETA 2892.Just like the Compass and previous Radar, the new Basel 2011 introduction, dubbed the "Red Radar," uses a disc system mounted to a traditional ETA movement to create a completely unique look.? This particular model resmebles a red radar screen (cue the "Hunt of Red October" bleeping sound) via red tinted crystal and clever fading on the time indication discs.Price will be around $5500 and this Red Radar will be a limited edition of 999 pieces.? 1 OF 2 2 OF 2

5205G or 5726 on strap?
Hey GuysI'm looking to get my first Patek at years end and I am having a hard time deciding what to go for.I know I want the piece to have some complication and I don't have an annual calendar so I have narrowed it down to these two pieces. Nautilus 5712 was also in the running but I feel it's a love/hate relationship that might bother me later on. Couple questions:Is the 5205g casual enough for jeans and polo shirts? (my typical office attire)How do you feel about the tang buckle as opposed to nautilus deployment?I know neither model is collectable but which do you feel will hold it's value better? Which would be an easier flip if I ever wanted to move it?(I normally buy to keep)Aesthetically which do you prefer?Does the 5205 gold trump steel?Regards Tom

Daytona Black or white ?
Well I've finally reached the top spot at my AD for the Daytona and he emailed me the other day and asked me which colour dial I'd like.I used to own the non ceramic black version of the Daytona and struggled to read the time in poor light , I still think the black looks better but I'm now being drawn to the white dial.Any thoughts guys ?
