Bell & Ross BR01-96 And BR01-97 Limited Edition Commando Watches
More with the gray watches it seems. I've been writing about this trend pretty extensively on Luxistwatches-dealer, but it has finally come to Bell & Ross. Actually I knew this since Baselworld back in March, but only now it connected with me that this is all part of the gray watch conspiracy - and watch companies are always bitching about the gray market. Irony?These two new pretty watches are part of a limited edition of just 500 pieces each and are part of the Commando watches that Bell & Ross will offer. Commando meaning gray in this instance. Maybe this is the perfect urban combat camouflage watch? We are familiar with the models as well. These are the big date and power reserve versions of the Bell & Ross BR01, or rather the BR01-96, and the BR01-97. The dials also make it clear that the watches are part of a limited edition. The Big Date has an automatic ETA 2896, while the power reserve model has an ETA 2897.The black on the hands and indexes contrast well with the

60th Anniversary Speedy with some latte art
I've been wearing and admiring this beauty since its arrival last November 3rd. Fortunately, I have a great local coffee shop (North Shore Boston) with some amazing baristas who not only make a great mocha latte, but also can do some amazing artwork:My goal is to convince one of them to try the Omega Seahorse next!

5905
Well. I wondered how long it would take, now I'm lucky enough to be in the patek club - until I started to look outside the Nautilus rangeI've worked thru a fair few rolex and omega in my day, always being incredibly happy with each, but always an eye on the horizon. I had a 15202 6 months now and am still disinterested in the other ap references, I'm just so smittenBut with patek - the Nautilus 5711 is where I landed. I've looked around the 5990 and the 5712... Both are amazing.... But as of the last few days I've been looking at the others and do rather fancy a 5905..... Also I see the 5170 appeals to my eye!!! Its a serious watch in every way... But that brings a serious decision and a heck of a commitment financially, so I'd like to understand its place in the market and the user experience more if possible!?How is its reputation?Resale / residual value?Have we got any owners here to share views or pictures?Kind thanks

The 111 Arrived Today!
It is a truly gorgeous watch in its simplicity but I defiantly need a more comfortable strap than the OEM one any suggestions?
