Introducing The Blancpain Villeret Grand Date, A Favorite Upgrades To Two Windows
If one thing is certain about SIHH, it’s that it foreshadows Basel. And storming out of the gate for Pre-Basel 2015 is Blancpain’s new Villeret Grand Date. This watch is notable for a few reasons. There is a clever simplicity in applying the Aqualung’s (spotted here on Vladimir Putin’s wrist) signature date window to the Villeret. But, regardless of how clever and simple it may seem, applying such a window has the potential to go horribly wrong. Thankfully, Blancpain seems to have gotten it right.Earlier in the year, we celebrated Blancpain’s New NYC Boutique. In said article you’ll find a wristshot of the current Villeret with the date at 3 o’clock. While that design works, the Grand Date at 6 o’clock takes the design in a different direction. Notice that the opaline/crème-like shaded dial spans the date window as well. The printing of the date is bold, curvaceous, accentuated and now symmetrical to the Blancpain logo up top. &nbs

SS Diver Vs 116600

Why get an Omega if you can Afford a Rolex..
My friend asked me this question.I have been looking to get an Omega Aqua Terra Blue dial, but another watch keeps coming in the way. I am very biased towards the color Blue. I love any blue dial watch, but unfortunately not a fan of two tone, so the sub doesn't do it. The WG sub is just too expensive.Fast forward after Basel and now the new 39mm OP blue dial has my vote. I don't know if the green markings are amazing, but I know I love a blue dial.Anyway so I did not know what to tell my friend when he asked me why I would get an Omega if I could afford a Rolex.. LolNot talking about Sea masters, etc. just the classic Aqua Terra VS the DJ or OP.

info on vintage omega
Any info? Year?

Not mine but awesome! 116610LN
I frequent a local pawnshop. Good people in there mostly. This was in a display today. It was the first time I ever put one on. It was a sweet moment about $7,000 over my budget. But it felt good. No pictures of it on. But there is the memory. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
