Bremont HMS Victory Limited Edition Watch
Not too much information right now but this is the upcoming limited edition Bremont HMS Victory limited edition watch. The classic looking chronograph will be produced in honor of the historic HMS Victory ship. The HMS Victory was originally built in the 18th century and is the oldest surviving warship from that era. The limited edition watch is said to contain actual original material from the ship itself.The watch is part of a relationship between UK-based watch brand Bremont and The National Museum of the Royal Navy in Portsmouth, England. The final piece will be unveiled in July 2012 during an event aboard the ship. This is the second Bremont limited edition watch to contain parts from an historic military machine.

Hesalite vs. sapphire crystal, help!
I'm adding a speedy to my humble Rolex collection. 3750.50 is a legend and you can clean the scratches off the crystal. But I hear the sapphire crystal is more practical?!

My Patek Philippe Journey
When I developed an interest in watches in 1985, it was clear Patek Philippe was considered the finest of the mass-production watch manufacturers. Naturally I aspired to own one some day, but began my hobby primarily collecting old Hamilton wristwatches.In October 1993, I had a windfall, winning $5,000 in a contest held by my employer. I asked my watchmaker if he knew of any Patek Philippe wristwatches for sale, and he put me in touch with someone I had previously met. Knowing his love for a Waterman filigree fountain pen I owned, I brought the seller the pen and cash. This was my first Patek, a 35mm Calatrava reference 2508 from 1955.I owned the watch for 20 years, until I finally was able to admit it no longer interested me. It was traded toward another Patek below.My next Pateks came as a pair. An acquaintance had a a reference 2591 on a gold bracelet listed for sale. I had many sport watches to trade (Omega/vintage Le Coultre/IWC chronographs) and he liked to trade. We arranged to
