Tim's Horology At Halftime: The Best Of 2015 To Date
Welcome to the 2015 Horology Halftime Show, presented by hindsight. The official arrival of summer means that Baby New Year clich��s are as dead as your old Synchronar 2100, and in our era of instant analysis, it's high-time for a look back at a few?of high horology's best moments so far. Sit back, read on, and celebrate the finest plays of 2015's first two quarters.Boldest Move: Patek Philippe Calatrava 5524G.While the speculative impact of the Apple Watch has inspired the largest volume of controversy during the year to date, the most intense debate raged around Patek Philippe's first take on the evergreen pseudo-vintage pilot's watch genre. The Patek Philippe Calatrava Travel Time 5524G left some very self-important folks tying themselves in knots and exchanging CAPS-LOCK carbine rounds in online fora. For that entertainment value alone, the more jocular members of the enthusiast fraternity collectively owe Thierry Stern a free round at his favorite watering hole in Plan-les-Ouates

Stay true to AP or diversify the collection?
AP will always be my first preference as I love the brand and their astonishing design aesthetics and beautiful finishing and build quality. I'm looking for another piece considering the AP ceramic anthracite dial but I stumbled across this Rolex rose gold day date 40 and their new anniversary green dial. I love the 44mm RG which has been my favourite piece since 2012 when it came out and acquired it instantly. On weekends and special occasions my rose gold 42 mm on strap gets wrist time. I would definitely prefer the AP ceramic to complete the AP trio but will it be all too Same same or Rolex green dial would be a good option to consider. The only reason I ask this question here as all the members here have amazing collections and watch experiences and they can guide and let us know if an acquisition later will not be regretted and if a person will find a certain disconnect with the watch even through initially they were all for it and took considerable time deciding. I bought the Mil

Reaction to Rolexes
I am new to the hobby, but currently own 2 watches, a 116610LN and a Breitling Navitimer 01. Not that I care or am even concerned with the perceptions or opinions of others, but I find it funny that 90% of people won't comment or notice the Rolex, but a good portion notice the Breitling and comment on it being a nice watch and if I tell them what it is, they typically have never heard of Breitling. On the other hand, the watch no one notices, they typically only notice when they see the Rolex at the top. Just an observation I found amusing somewhat.
