Blancpain CEO Marc Hayek Takes Podium at Silverstone
Blancpain CEO Marc Hayek and driving partner Peter Kox drove their Lamborghini Gallardo to another win in the Super Trofeo auto racing series at the historic Silverstone (UK) road course last weekend. The fourth event in the series took place within the context of the British F3/GT Championship. Renowned for its varied race course enabling top speeds of 190+ mph, Silverstone welcomes all kinds of competitions throughout the year including the MotoGP, Superbike and World Aerobatic championships. To celebrate the championship racing series, Blancpain introduced the 300 piece limited edition Super Trofeo flyback chronograph at Basel this year. The 43.5mm DLC case houses a NAC-treated Caliber F185 movement with black mainplate and bridges. The 308 part manual winding movement provides hour, minute, small seconds and date display at 6 o'clock, as well as chronograph indications with a central sweep seconds hand, 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock and 12-hour counter at 9 o'clock, and of course

Maybe this will help
Argh on the watch fates!So I had put a few feelers out a while ago to see if I could acquire a Bee. Haven't heard from anyone and now as I recently posted, my wife wants me to pull the trigger on a RG RC so have just started to look for one.In the meantime, of course I get an email from a friend of a friend who just acquired a new Bee for himself but told me I could have it if I wanted since he has too many watches (there is no such thing) and offered it to me for a great price. My wife doesn't really care which one although her preference is the RG of course.They are sooooo different it's an apple and orange comparison so it's hard to compare them and no, I'm not going to buy both at the moment so it's a one or the other choice.Why did he have to email me....

Fantastic pair!
My new yellow addition to my AP collection........

Speedmaster Pro 3570 vs 3573 (or 3572?)
Hi,Long time reader, first time post. Love the review / support you guys give.Going to buy a speedy in the next couple of weeks and just wanted thoughts on which one is the best one to get. I am currently set on the 3570 but depending on the comments here, I will be open to new options.I have checked around and have found at least 1 store that have 1 of the watches in stock (even the 3572). I was able to get 1 quote of the 3570 to 3800AUD and rest prob can go to 20% from RRP.

Pics of your Aquanauts on aftermarket straps?
I've just picked up a 5167a. Really liking the standard strap but I'm interested to see photos of them on different straps. Would you mind posting up photos if you've done this?Thanks
