Whiplash Movie Editor Tom Cross Chooses Perfect Jaeger-LeCoultre Watch For Academy Awards
So, what watch does one wear to the Academy Awards as a first-time Oscar nominee? Admittedly, this was a new first-world problem for Tom Cross, who, as editor of the film Whiplash, recently received an Academy Award nomination for "Best Editing" - one of five Oscars Whiplash is up for this year. UPDATE: Tom Cross received the Academy Award (as well as Independent Spirit Award) for Film Editing for the movie Whiplash. This was a scenario Tom Cross did not anticipate when he started work on the labor-of-love indie drama. We were just happy to find out we got in to Sundance, explains? Cross of Whiplash's long, unexpected trajectory: first debuting at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, then becoming one of - if not the - most acclaimed films of the year.Shot in 19 days on a minuscule budget, Whiplash captures the psychological warfare between a young jazz drummer striving for virtuosity (Miles Teller) and his sadistic teacher/bandleader (J.K. Simmons) who punishes as much as pushes his dis

Trade 16570 for FOIS?
Title says it all. I have both the black and white Explorer II and have been thinking of trading the black for a FOIS 1962 re-edition. It's that or sell off a couple of other Omegas to get it. Please tell me your rationale for your decision. I hate to flip but have been really thinking about what watches make sense for me longer term and I don't think that I will keep the two Speedy dates and the black Explorer II long term so I might as well trade for a piece that I see as a long term acquisition.

Price help please
GuysI have an Omgea midi that has been my daily wearer since 2005. It does have the usual desk marks and the clasp seems a little stiff. It also has a mark on the bezel near the 5 past position. I have included detailed pictures as I honestly have no clue of what I should ask?Your help is much appreciatedThanksMartin

5170 question

Got to try on the YG DD40 with romans
I've been thinking about the DD40 for awhile now and the nearest ADs were too far away for me to stroll in for a 20min look around. Well I was able to get to an AD the other day and put on the YG DD40 and they just so happened to have the one I would want- the silver dial with romans:Hodinkee's photo:The president bracelet was the most impressive thing. I've read people describe that the bracelet drapes over your wrist and I never understood that until now. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.Now anybody who is here knows that a YG Day-Date with a fluted bezel is going to be a showy piece. Even if you have never seen one in person. I knew that before I stepped into the AD, but it is something else in person. The whole watch is designed to reflect light- the silver sunburst dial, the roman hour markers, the fluted bezel, the polished sides of the case and bracelet. Frankly, the dial reflects light so much, I almost felt like I was distracted by it and telling the time was secondary.Oft
