Michael Bittel Double Diaphragm Eclipse Watch
This watch doesn't just have a dial that looks like a camera shutter, the prototype version actually used a camera shutter. Michael Bittel cannibalized a friend's vintage camera (he had permission) and took out the shutter. He ground it down and modified it, and used it to make an opening and closing dial on a watch. This isn't the first time that a shutter aperture style dial has graced my eyes, but it is one of the nicest renditions. I did mention the de Grisogono Fuso Quadrato Two Time Zone watch that applied a similar idea. Although on the Eclipse, the shutter opens up to reveal the decorated and diamond studded movement. Actually, I can't figure out whether the watch is called the Eclipse, Double Eclipse, Double Diaphragm Eclipse, or some variation thereof. Who knows, it doesn't matter. Not like there are other watches that look like this. By the way, I am gonna take this opportunity to mention to watch companies that you need to do two things: 1) make sure you give your watch a c

AP ROO 42mm VS AP ROO 44mm....
Hi, I own as most of you guys know by now the AP ROO Diver which I love, BUT since my local AD here in Stockholm never seem to have a 44mm AP ROO in stock I have never actually tried one on, how much larger do they wear compared to the Diver or any other 42mm ROO?

Help with next purchase, RO ROC ROO
I need your advice for my next purchase So my watches for now are the 116610LV and the AP Diver, and planning on getting an AP nextMy options are the RO 15400 blue dial, or ROC blue dial, or I might be able to get the Milano boutique edition but I will miss the bracelet on that one. If I get one of these I might be able to get the Rolex GMTII BLNR as well. Or maybe the 44mm ceramic with the anthracite dial but I won't be able to get the BLNR if I do this, I may also have to sell my subI really love the ROC but the movement not being in house and not an exhibition case back is bothering me a bit, and the 15400 is gorgeous but it looks a bit small on my wrist as it is slightly thinner than the ROC and lacks the extra pushers, the 44mm is amazing in every way but giving my current collection and what I would have to let go to get it, this is a hard choice!What would you do if you were me? And so sorry for the long read

Does anyone here own a 42mm oro rosso Panerai?
Either PAM336, 439 (what exactly is the difference between these? They seemed identical to me when I viewed them in person), or 513?I have a 338 Titanium and love the size. The price (of course) is making me hesitate to buy a solid gold version of otherwise the same watch. Of course the 513 is not the same! These lovely shots are from the Panerai website:
