BEST FROM: watches-dealer & Friends January 30, 2015
It is January, the beginning of a new?year, and that can only mean one thing for us watch enthusiasts:?SIHH! It is hard to find an overarching theme for this year's show, but there seems to be something for everybody. There are lots of new high-end watches, such as the A. Lange & S?hne Zeitwerk Minute Repeater and the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication. But there are also an equal number of more affordable pieces, especially from Montblanc, such as the Meisterstuck Heritage Chronometrie and Heritage Spirit Orbis Terrarum. Join us as we take a look at some of the interesting pieces that debuted at this year's SIHH.SIHH aside, another thing that was on the mind of many is the sudden removal of the cap of the Swiss Franc's value against the Euro. This took everyone by surprise and led to a surge in the value of the Swiss Franc �C which should, theoretically, hurt exports. Considering the general haziness and uncertainty surrounding the industry, it remains to

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Rubens Barrichello II Watch Available On James List
From a design standpoint I consider this watch to be the pre-cursor of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Survivor watch. Look at the two watches adn you will agree that this Rubens Barrichello II limited edition watch has design cues that made their way into the Surviror watch a few years late. Not exactly the same looks, but part of the same breed. These include the hands, dial design, light vertical texturing (see the strap links here) as well as the crown and pusher design. The pictured watch was part way "there" and then Audemars Piguet just went the distance with the Survivor. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Rubens Barrichello II watch was made in honor of the namesake Brazilian Formula 1 race car driver. For some reason Brazilian race car drivers seems to be the subject of many high end sport watches from not only Audemars Piguet, but also other brands such as Hublot and Richard Mille - can't say that I know why.The watch was offered back in 2006 in three limited vers

5196G enabling needed...
Been thinking of upgrading my 15400 to a 15202, and finally put it on the chopping block.But yesterday I started thinking that a 5196G would be a great alternative to the 15202, I know, they are different watches for different purposes, but still.I have been consolidating lately and have only a few watches (you can see in my signature what I have), I am missing a dress watch as you can see.So, I have time to decide while the 15400 sells, but I have always found the hunt to be a big part of the fun.Any comments and especially pics would be greatly appreciated.
